on Friday morning to show cause why
joined
Ethridse & Ethridge, attorneys for e.
E. Lawrence. partner of Eugene H.
Grace in the building business, filed the
petition for the injunction today with
Judge Pendleton. The petition sets
forth that Eugene H. Grace decided all
property owned BY the Arm to his
partner. but. on account Of alleged
claims of Mrs Grace that she financed
the company, prospective purchasers
have been frightened from buying, fear
ing that her claims would cloud the
title
Lawrence asks the court to enioin
Mrs. Grace from asserting claim against
the property, and that the title to the
property be decreed to be in this petit
toner as against any claims of the
defendant.
Were To Divide Profits.
The petition further sets forth that
Eugene Grace agreed to finance the
business, and that E. E, Lawrence. who
was an experienced man in the building
business, was to give shis time and
services to the business. and they were
to divide equally the profits; that they
purchased land in Atlanta and Kirk
wood on which they constructed houses
and that the title of the land was
taken in the name of Eugene H. Grace.
Prior to March 5 (the date on which
Eugene Grace was wounded in his
Eleventh street home). two loans Of
81 900 each had been made on two Of
the houses and lots and loan deeds
wereg iven to secure the loans. Since
March 3 loan has been made on an
other house and lot for $1,000, and Sc
cured by a loan deed.
Mrs. Grace's Claims.
The petitioner declares that since
Grace was shot and his wife arrested
charged with the deed. it has been as
serted publicly that she was furnish
ing the money to finance the building
business, and that she claims some sort
of a superior lien on all of the property,
on the claim or prtense that she fur
nished the money with which to pur-
chase the property and carry on the
business.
Lawrence says he has been unable to
sell the houses and lots, for the reason
that prospective purchasers. knowing
of the alleged claims are afraid that
they will not be able to get clear title
on account of the claims of Mrs. Grace.
He declares that in constructing the
houses liabilities of approxim S4,-
500 we're incurred.
Mrs. Grace's answer to the petition
will be filed within a few days, ac-
cording to James A. Branch. one Of
the attorneys representing Mrs. Grace.
