Spark Plug Fraud Trial Grips Tipton Court
Judge J John T Moffit presided over a lengthy Tipton Iowa fraud trial involving the Foulles Spark Plug Company of Davenport. Witnesses described aggressive sales pitches to farmers, promises of 150 percent dividends, and notes used to finance stock ahead of an August 7 assignment for creditors and subsequent bankruptcy. The jury found fraud at inception but no consideration, with a note surrendered to no one and farmers forming an organization at Durant and Wilton to contest the notes.
