Court Decides
Against Harris

The case of j. A. Harris against
J. H. Holland, l.. J. Thomas. w. d.
Smith, Frank Wilkin, G. Chalup-
nic and A. f. Wright came to an
end in Judge Finney's court this
morning after three days of trial. In
his decision the Judge ruled that
the plaintiff take nothing by his ac-
ton.
The suit grows out of the troubles
encountered by the farmers and
Merchants Bank of Imperial in
1921 when the plaintiff and the
defendants, at that time stockhold-
ers in the bank, sought to save the
institution from being closed by OBJ
tanning loans of $105,000 on notes.
The effort, however, proved fail
ure and the stockholders lost more
than $4,000 of the note money.
1t developed that Harris suffer
cd the bulk of the loss while Hol-
land also lost considerable money
through the deals. The present suit
brought by Harris was an effort to
regain some of the money he cx-
pended from the other stockholders.
During the session, however, all
of the defendants save Holland tes-
titled to being insolvent and as a
result Holland was the only one
from whom Harris could make a
recovery. The evidence further
showed that Harris owned 35 shares
of stock against five shares held by
Holland.
Judge Finney in his ruling held
that in view of this circumstance
Harris should be made to shoulder
seven times more of the loss than
the defendant Holland and as eVi-
idence was introduced to show that
Holland had actually lost an amount
in excess of one-seventh of that lost
by Harris the court ruled against
the plaintiff in its decision.
s. P. Williams and Dorsey White
law appeared as attorneys for the
plaintiff while Wright and Monroe
appeared as counsel for the defend
ants.
