receiver for the Doddridge-BeCk COM
pany, of Milton, Ind, the towns only
manufacturing concern and it's largest
industry, was received by Judge Will
liam A. Bond in circuit court Monday
afternoon.
This action follows the appoint
ment of a receiver for the Farmers
bank of Milton, a little over two
months ago, which was Millions only
banking institution
The petition for the appointment of
company is instituted by Carlton
CLANCY of Glenwood, Ind, owner Of
fifty shares of the company's stock.
Other stockholders are interested in
having a receiver appointed, it is
stated.
Ayers Mismanagement.
In his complaint CLANCY AYERS that
the mismanagement of the company's
affairs by the late Oscar M. kirlin has
endangered the solvency of the COM
pany. Kirlin was secretary-treasurer
of the Doddridge Beck company for
about two and a half years. He was
also cashier of the Farmers Bank and,
it is alleged, his mismanagement of
the banks affairs resulted in it's fail
ure and his own suicide.
1t petitioning for a receivership for
the Doddridge-Be company CLANCY
makes the sensational charge that
Mordecai Doddridge and William Dod
bridge the former a director in the
bank and in the manufacturing con-
cern, the latter a director in the COM
pany, had knowledge that Kirlin was
dishonest and had. committed criminal
acts in the conduct of the banks
affairs and the company's affairs prior
to Kirlin's suicide.
Alleges Double Dealing.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
this information was kept a secret and
the facts were not divulged to other
directors of the Doddridge- Beck COM
pany. The complaint AYERS that moth
ing was done to prevent kirlin from
embezzling the funds of the company
and forging notes against it.
1t is alleged that such forged notes
are now a part Of the company's liza
biltes, and are now alleged to be due
by the receiver for the Farmers bank
Another sensational charge contain
ed in the complaint is that Kirlin en-
tered into a conspiracy with certain
stockholders of the Doddridge-B
