INVESTORS swINDLKo.


RascaIIy work BIZ which They Loss
Their Money.
A New London paper says that year or
more sgo number Of New London invest
ors In western mortgages through the guar
sntee Of Bushnell & Bushnell, bankers of
Minneapolis. found their money gone, with
out much prospect of it's returning, even
manned and reduced.
The money WAS invested in mortgages
on western property, with the additional
security of the Endorsement of q syndicste
of wealthy western men well known in the
financial world. The Endorsement was
made by an agent of the bankers ard the
syndicate, with their full authority to act
In their stead in guaranteeing loans. The
agent wrote tho Endorsements and went
further by waving notice Of protest.
The security being apparently unaues-
| tionable, the New London investors went
| In, As the rate of interest was good and
| there was no trouble In sight but to collect
| at stated intervals. This fnally proved to
be . trouble, as the interest was defaulted
and then the investors fell back ON the in.
| dorsers to make good the loans. Here
they were met by the indorsers with the
objection that their agent, BY waving no
tice of protest, had exceeded his authority
as conferred by them, his commission DO
ing limited to indorsing in their name
The Investors had not avsiled themselves
of tho waving of notice of protest, but hai
proceeded In the regular business va,
| when the interest was defaulted. The in
dorsers, however, stuck to the teohnicality
and the controversy was transferred to tn
courts in Minnesota.
The defendantsdid not set up in answe
that they had not received the money, bu
founded their refusal to make good thei
Endorsement on the technicslity that thei
agent had exceeded his powers In waivip
notice of protest. II seemed q email hole
but they. had to back through it. and In tn
lover court lost their case. Ga appeal
however, to the supreme court of Mime
sofa, they won, and the eastern investor
were left without further resort to estat
lieh the Justice of their claim.
| Over 500 900 of New London people
money WAS lost through this transaction i
sums ranging from 81 600 to $50, 900. Th
hopes OF some of the larger investors G
getting back some of their money have jus
been revived by the revissl of . d. cIsion c
the highest court In Indiana by that coul
itself. It occurs to the investors that
ono court will reverse Its own decision 81
other may do the same, and go there 81
thoughts Of reopening the case.
