Armstong case uncovers stock promoter schemes near Palo
Cedar Rapids May 5. John C Armstrong a 60 year old farmer near Palo is on trial in district court at Marion in a case styled Kenwood Park Lumber company versus John C Armstrong. The suit seeks to collect on notes of 4800 and 5000 dollars transferred by Lee Canfield to the lumber company. Evidence shows stock salesmen sold Armstrong worthless oil leases and shares as part of a flashy promotion network. Guardians were appointed last September due to his illness, and the case exposes the promoters behind Cedar Rapids and Texas Iowa oil schemes and large stock purchases by Armstrong for which he paid heavily.
