RECEIVER D. G. HUDSON. D.G. Hudson, receiver of the defunct Camden Bank and Trust Co., about whose absence grave rumors gained circulation here last week, returned home last Sunday, after an absence of about two weeks. Mr. Hudson was appointed receiver of the bank about three years ago, and has made payments to depositors to the amount of 75 per cent of their claims. At the July term of chancery court he made a report showing assets of $13,000, and the court ordered that $6,000 of this sum be paid to attorneys in the case, and that the balance of $7,000 be distributed among the depositors. Mr. Hudson left Tuesday after the adjournment of court, but his absence created little comment until last Friday. When appointed receiver Mr. Hudson secured bond from the Fidelity Deposit Co., of Baltimore, and when Mr. Charles Merriweather of Louisville, Ky., an agent of the above company, arrived here last Friday and began his investigation, rumors more or less startling became rife, and it was whispered about that Hudson was probably a defaulter. When advised of the situation and rumors in circulation here Mr. Hudson returned home Sunday. Mr. Merriweather is still here. No settlement has yet been made, but Mr. Hudson informed us yesterday that settlement would be made Saturday and not later than next Monday. There are rumors of a compromise being arranged, and the friends of Mr. Hudson feel confident that matters will be arranged to the satisfaction of all parties.concerned.
