Demurrer Sustained in Galloway Case Involving Insurance Money
The plaintiff's demurrer was sustained by Judge EB.8 in the case of Leavitt & Johnson Trust Co. versus William Galloway. The dispute concerns $85,000 in insurance money received by the defendant as compensation for a retirement last fall, which the plaintiff claims should be used to retire certain 192 per cent bonds. The defendant argues that the $83,000 is capital stock and not necessarily tied to that use.
