In a written opinion, Judge Merrill E. Otis awarded the bank one-third of the $1000 it had sought in the first of two counts, but ruled for the defendant in a second count also asking $1,000.
Judgment for $333.34 was granted William L. Koenig, receiver for the closed First National Bank of Versailles, against Elizabeth Fluke of Boonville in federal court in Jefferson City Friday.
In a written opinion, Judge Merrill E. Otis awarded the bank one-third of the $1000 it had sought in the first of two counts, but ruled for the defendant in a second count also asking $1,000.
Mrs. Fluke's husband, George F. Fluke, who died some time ago, had held $10,000 stock in the bank. He left his bank stock to his widow and two children, who shared it equally.
Stockholders were assessed 10 percent to pay any debts.
Judge Otis ruled that Mrs. Fluke could be held accountable for the 10 percent assessment on only the $3,333.33 stock she held and was not liable for assessment on the $6,666.67 stock left her children. The bank sought the full $1,000 assessment from her.
