REV. DR.. W.T.. CORKRAN CASE POSTPONED
Will Not be Tried Until the February Term of
COurt-COrkran's Counter Charges.


COurt-COrkran's Counter Charges.
Litigation growing out of the stock
speculations of the Rev. DIR. Wilbur F.
Corkr an, former presiding elder of the
Easton District of Wilmington Metho-
dist Conference resident at Smyrna and
until recently pastor of Fritz Mem
orial Church, South Bethlehem, will
not be tried until the February term of
Superior Court. The case of Zell and
Mercerest, brokers of Baltimore,
against the Rev. DR.. Corkran to try to
recover 1880 alleged to be due them
in commissions and interest, was cal
led Friday morning, but William W.
Knowles, Esq, asked and was granted
general leave to amend DIR. Corkrans
answer. He will plead recoupment
and set forth that Zell and Merceret
are indebted to DIR. Corkran for an
amount greater than Zell and Merceret
are suing to recover from the minister
at the present time. AS this practi-
cally made counter-sult, contlnu-
ance was made until the February
term. Armon d. Chaytor, Jr., rep
resented the Baltimore firm. DIR.
Corkran and the Rev. DIR. Charles 5.
Baker will be summoned before the
bar of the Wilmington Methodist Con-
ference in March next for arraignment
on charge of dealing in unlisted
stocks, for which they are now under
suspension. 1t is believed that DIR.
Corkran will try to have the case
against him in the state courts dis
posed of in February, so that the ques
tion of legality of dealing in stock
can be passed upon before the confer
ence session, and if possible be intro
duced in evidence in behalf of DIR.
Corkran should he be placed on tria
before the conference.
