B3ATT CO. FILES
ANSWEE TO SUIT
BY TEEASUBEE
The Hiatt company and officers,
answering the petition of Jesse L.
Hiatt, alleging fraud and conspiracy
ainst him, deny his allegations, but
admit they deeded land near Carter
lake to Julia Moylan for the sum of
$8,092. They allege they did this to
keep' the company from bankruptcy,
and assert that the value of $78,000,
placed upon it on the books of the
company, was based on speculative
values, when the land had been im
proved. .
They further allege that Hiatt has
advanced and loaned the Hiatt Build
ing company, in which he is inter
ested, $1 i,500 from the treasury of the
Hiatt company and has appropri
ated $2,100 to his own use from the
same source. Upon discovery of
these alleged irregularities, he was re
moved as treasurer of the Hiatt com
pany, they allege.
The defendants allege that all let
ters which passed between O. C
Redick and Hiatt were not regarded
seriously as they believed Hiatt's let
ter! to be "camouflage," to cover, up
his alleged mismanagement of the af
fairs of the company.
