Skinner Packing
plication of R. C Howe on a suit
tiled by hini against the Skinner in
terests for $266,000.
The reason for asking an attach
ment was stated to be because the
Skinner Packing, .company is a
Maine corporation.
"We are in this fight to the last
ditch," jaid William Ritchie, jr., at
torney for the Skinners. -We will
not let such methods wreck the
Skinner plant, Mr. Howev gained
no security by ()iis attachment but
it will cost us $2,600 just to have it
released under a bond."
According to Mr. Ritchie, the at
tachment is upon the buildings only'
and possession will remain in the
hands of the Skinner company. He
said that it would not affect the
operations of the local market, cold
storage or plant.
Robert C. Howe filed an answer
and counter claim yesterday to the
injunction suit brought' last week by
the Skinner Packing company to en
join him from withdrawing $107,050
worth of liberty bonds placed in
escrow for him in the Merchants
National bank. x
