WILLIAM ZIEGLER SUED
ON CHARGE OF FRAUD
Actress Says He Shifted Produc.
ing Co. Stock to Avoid Debts.

A charge OF fraud is made by Miss
Grace Filkins. actress and wife of Rear
Admiral Adolf Mark, L. S. ~. in an
action against William Ziegler. who in
herited his foster fathers baking pow
der business and about sl5,00000O and
owns the New Era Producing Company.
Miss Filkins played in "The Rule of
Three" under the direction Of the Zieg-
Ter company, and wants s3,1l6 which
she says is owing her for services and
for which claim she obtained judgment.
Although the two hundred shares of
stock of the New Era Producing Com
pany were held by others, they were
owned by Ziegler, who controlled the
corporation, according to Miss Filkins.
Her contract was with the producing
company, and she alleges that Ziegler
caused the transfer TO him Of the COM
pany's property, without consideration,
TO defraud creditors, including her.
There was no public record Of this
transfer, it is alleged, and afterwarc
the corporation had no tangible assets
and was "a mere shell, unable to meet
its obligations to creditors" Miss Fill
kins asks that the transfer be set aside,
that receiver be appointed for the
producing company and that Ziegler be
compelled to pay her judgment.
