PAGE EIGHT highlands MACOXrAN DEFENDS EIAS NOTE PAYMENT (Continued from Page One) inittic unanimously rccommenck-d thut the court approve the settle ment, ,lt had already been ascer tained that the general creditors would receive nothing, because the major vortion of the bank’s assets had been iiledged as security to city and county funds and tiie attorney for more than half of the preferred creditors likewise concurred in rec- (jmmending to the court that the cc;mpr>mise settleinents be made. “4. Mr. and Mrs. Webb paid in full their jjroposed settlement, which amounted to $3,4(X).00; and Mr. Klias paid the sum of $l,5tX).0(), and, 'being unable to pay the bal ance, his notes were subsequently advertised and sold at )iublic auc tion at the courthouse door in Jiun- combe County. I was paid the sum of $25.(K) for i)reparmg the petition and order in connection with the settlement of Mr. Klias. “It is not inappropriate to say lliat shortly after the failure of the (.'entral Bank and Trust Company suits begati to be instituted in large numbers, charging the former'of ficials of the bank with fraud and misapplicati()n of trust funds and that apprMximately one hundred and fifty suits were brMight, involvitig more than eight millions of dollars. 'I'liese suits were brought by law yers all the way from Providence, i\hode Island, to Asheville, and, in some instances, were long drawn out. Approximately thirty of these suits were carried by appeal to the Supreme Court of North Carolina. One of the suits involved, a total of three million dollars, h'or three years Ijractically all of my time was con sumed in the defense of these .suits and in the handling of a vast mul titude of complicated legal matters that were not involved in actual litigatio«i. During this three years an extra stenographer was required, who devoted her 'entire time to such matters. The records in some of these cases compri.sed hundreds of pages. In nearly every instance, before su'limitt.ing a bill for services, I discussed it with the attorneys for the larger creditors and the fees paid us w'ere regarded as ex ceedingly reasonabl'C. In any event, ] )r. McDonald is obliged to have ascertained, after his statement was ehallenged, that there was no justi fication whatsoever for charging that I receiv'cd, in connection with the Elias and Webb settlements, more than the creditors received, when the fee paid me was $25.(X) and th'C amount realized by credit ors in the settlements was $4,900.(X). “It is hardly conceivable that the people of North Carolina will ever elect to the high and honorable office of Governor a man who has such little regard for the truth as Dr. McDonald manifested in his false and scurrilous statement.” THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE .
