received by the Edisonia Co. a week prior to its
failure in November, 1912, and now in the pos-
session of the trustee, Frank W. Long, have been
Ordered returned to the maker, Kreiter Piano
Co., of Marinette, Wis.
In the opinion filed last week, Referee Edwin
G. Adams says "the sale of the pianos was in-
duced by false and fraudulent representations on
the part of William D. Zellman," president of the
Edisonia Co., who "had no intention of paying for
them and no reasonable expectation of being able
to pay for them.
The pianos have been in storage awaiting a dis-
position of the title. The Kreiter pianos had been
traced by Ambrose C. Hindeman, attorney for the
piano concern, who came here to investigate upon
learning of the insolvency of the Edisonia Co.
Other carloads of pianos shipped from the West
to the Edisonia Co. about the same time were in-
tercepted in transit by the makers, who received
word in time of the impending failure.
