COL. FORREST w. BROWN SITS
AS SPECIAL JUDGE IN NOR
WALK CASE.

A case of long standing and which
has aroused much interest in Mar
tinsburg, that of Clarence E. Martin,
trustee, versus certain stockholders of
the old Norwalk Motor Car, Company,
which went into bankruptcy several
years ago, was tried last week in the
Circuit Court in Martinsburg, before
Special Judge Forrest w. Brown. 1t
involves S11 900.
The case arose several years ago
when number of persons who had
subscribed to stock of the Norwalk
Company refused to pay their sub
scriptions after the company went
into bankruptcy. When the matter
was presented before Referee in
Bankruptcy W. H. Thomas, he in
structed the trustee to bring suits
against the stockholders, compelling
them to make the payments.
Mr.. Martin, after decision of the
refree, employed Col. Stewart W..
Walker, Attorneys A. G.. McIntire
and John H. Zirkle as his counsel,
while various stockholders secured
the services of Attorneys, H. H. En-
inert, j. O. Henson and D. w. Snyder,
Jr. All of these lawyers were pres
ent when the hearing of the case ge-
gan.
Judge J. M. Woods is not eligible
to sit in the case, inasmuch as he rem
dered an opinion, as legal advisor,
before his term on the bench began,
in favor of the plaintiff.
