Big Land Suit
In Appeals Court
Dallas, Texas, April 13.—Personal
judgment for $51,164.40 against for-
mer Gov. James E. Ferguson, the
judgment established in the form
of a lien on the 626-acre Bell coun-
ty farm of Mr. Ferguson and his
wife, Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, also
former governor, was affirmed Sat-
urday by the Fifth Court of Civil
Appeals in Dallas, to which body
the case had been appealed.
Judgment against former Gov-
ernor Ferguson was entered by
Judge Robert B. Allen in 116th
District Court Dec. 1, 1934, on
suit brought by the Dallas Joint
Stock and Land Bank on a note
for $40,000 made to the bank by
Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson in 1923.
Ferguson fought the suit on the
contention that the contract with'
the bank for the loan required the
payment of usurious interest.
Judge Allen held that the interest
was not usurious, gave the bank
personal judgment against Mr. Fer-
guson in the form of a lien on the
farm and entered foreclosure or-
ders.
The farm was sold at auction last
year, being bought hi by the bank
itself, which now holds the property
attorneys said Saturday. It was
purchased for a portion of the
judgment and lien against it. The
sale was made possible because the
Fergusons did not post supersedeas
bond.
When the bank first brought the
foreclosure, suit Mr. Ferguson ob-
tained an injunction under the
state moratorium law preventing
the sale of the' land. Later the
Supreme Court ruled the morator-
ium unconstitutional and the bank
obtained a special setting of the
suit in Judge Allen’s court. No
personal judgment was taken
against Mrs. Ferguson.
