Raleigh, Oct. 18—Fisheries Product victims to the extent of a couple millions are again in the federal courts, and the fleeced folks come from sundry southern states which seems to be most excellent pickings for this great business which has figured so much in North Carolina news recently.
On Friday, at Wilson, N.C., Judge Walter H. Neal of Laurinburg and Dixon McLean of Lumberton, of the firm of Varser, McLean, and Stacey, appeared before Judge Henry G. Connor, judge of the United States district court, representing about $2 million of stock held by citizens of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. These stockholders filed a petition before Judge Connor requesting the appointment of J.G. McCormick of Wilmington, N.C., as additional ancillary receiver.
Judge Connor also signed a rule upon J.D. Atwood, one of the employees of the Fisheries Products Company, who had heretofore been appointed a receiver, to appear before him in Wilson on Friday next, and show cause why he should not be removed as a receiver.
These petitions did not raise any objection to the appointment of Judge Owen H. Guion.
