Plaintiffs Allege Frau Throtgh Attorneys Charles H. Merillat | and William H. Holloway the plaintiffs in the action today allege fraud in the way of floatation of securities in_the ‘Wake Granite Co. of Wake Forest, N. C., the predecessor of the Southern Con- | solidated Granite Corporation, and of bonds of the Southern Consolidated Granite Corporation. The propertics on which_ the securities were floated con- sist of 102 acres of land at Lake For- est, N. C., unimproved, and 269 acres at Pacolet, S. C., on which is located a quarry generally known as the Spar- tanburg Quarry. It is alleged that the parties to the floatation of these se- curities were Brewer, president of the Southern Consclidated Granite Corpora- tion: Arrington, its secretary-treasurer; | Bobbitt, a director, and Frierson, a vice president and director. These se- curities were sold, it is alleged, through Hause as a promoter. ‘The claim is made that with the pro- ceeds of these securities Hause bought various pieces of real estate in the Dis- trict of Columbia and took title-to them in his own name and the name of his wife and gave only a comparatively small amount of what he realized from the sale of the securities to the cor- poration whos2 bonds he was selling. Seeks Realty Subjection. The bill seeks to subject this real estate to the obligations of the South- ern Consolidated Granite Corporation, some of which are held by the plain- tiffs. It declared that Hause, Brewer, Arrington_and Bobbitt first started to sell securities in the Wake Granits Cor- poration and sold $28.000 worth, of which the plaintiff, Cole, tought $500 worth on alleged representation that they were secured by first mortgage on the tract at Wake Forest. It then alleges that the parties named, without paying | off all these notes, including Cole’s. or- ganized the Southern Consolidated Granite Corporation and issued $550,000 of bonds on the Wake Forest proparty and the Spartanburg Quarry, of Whica | 3 P.M.
