C. Downing
The Gray I.nmber company, a half
million dollar corporation OF Coffee
county. owing creditors to the extent
Of $l50,000, has been placed in the
hands OF a receiver. This action was
taken in the United States court
" Judge Speer, after the hearing Oh
s55he RUE issued as the result Of a pc
ition OF three small creditors for the
appointment OF receiver.
1t Is probable that three receivers

the company, concurred in the petit
tion for the aprointemnet of re-

Judge Speer declared, in his decis
ion, that the assets Of the company

Of the bankruptcy laws and itself CON

pany was solvent. It's present con
dition made receivership impera-
tive and the duty Of the court.
Judge Speer further declared that
the seven trustees, elected by the
creditors to whom the assignment
was made, were practically trespas-
sers. However, he imputed to none
CT them any intent to evdde the law,
or to commit an act of moral turpi-
tude. but declared that their action
in taking control of the estate by
virtue Of the deed of assignment and
with the consent of the officials OF
the company was nevertheless an
evasion and violation of the bank
ruptcy law.
Judge Speer said that with the
consent of the larger creditors, he
would name a co-receiver. 1t was
then suggested by Attorney Jacob
S. Ga2an of Savannah, that three re-
ceivers be named and the Judge said
that he would also take that sugges.
ton under consideration, deciding il
48 hours.
