Answering charges by Lund that the company had evaded the requirements of the securities commission in that it did not place in escrow certain! funds received from stock sale: Wright explained that an agreement: N. was made with stock purchase’ whereby they turned their stock over to him, taking his note in return.

Vold, former inst the company brought on the hearin; Wright claims Vold owes the company money as the result of misapplication of funds and promised a prosecution of Vold as soon as the case before the securities commission is decided.
