LOAN ASSOCIATION CASE.
Independent Answer Filed. Charging Col-
lusion llclwcn Ollieers and Counsel.
Knoxville Tenn. March 8. The
Southern Riiilding and Ixan nssoeuition
cilHi- came up in the federal court here
th'm morning. The sensational part of
the hearing was the tiling of an inde-
pendent niiswer in behalf of Albert Rut-
terlck of New York and other stock-
holders represented by Russell Wins-
low &. Frumbergcr of New York and
(leorge W. Easty of Chattanooga. Ihis
separate answer charges collusion Ik--tween
the ollieers and counsel of the asso-
ciation in bringing the original Hilit and
the npiMiintment of Luttcrell and Ross ns
temporary receivers; alleges that the olli-
eers ond directors of the association in-
cluding its general counsel are liable to
the association for large sums improper-
ly paid out on withdrawals denies the
association is insolvent nnd asserts that
if the ollieers are made to pay the asso-
ciation the money improperly paid on
withdrawals its solvency is niKUestiou-
nble. The Hiitterick answer opposes
the continuance of Luttcrell ami Ross as
receivers and asks that n referee be ai-
poiuted to inquire into the solvency of
the association and the liability of its di-
rectors and to report to the court.
The ground on which tho answer is
based is that the counsel of the associa-
tion in its onswer has not set up n prop-
er statement. The association filed an
answer denying its insolvency but it is
without sensation and does not charge
the directors with liability and admits
that while they have paid out dividends
in excess of earnings seeks to justify
their course in so doing.
Joshua W. Caldwell of Knoxville was
npHiiited by Judge Clark as referee to
examine into the solvency of the associ-
ation and report nt the earliest practica-
ble day. not later than March 1!). The
case was adjourned until the report shall
lie made when the question of perma-
nent receivers will be determined.
