More Legal Complications in Oneida Silverware Mfg. Co.’s Affairs

Oneida, N. Y., May 22.— More complications were added to the affairs of the Oneida Silverware Mfg. Co., Limited, yesterday, when an order was granted to show cause why a rehearing should not be had on the application of the receiver, Charles A. Stringer, for an order confirming the sale of the manufactured and unmanufactured stock, implements and fixtures of the company.

The order was granted at Morrisville by Hon. Gerrit A. Forbes, on application of Jenkins, Nock & Peaslee, of this city, on affidavits of William E. Witter and Steven C. Waterman, Oneida, and Percy Coon, Syracuse. The order is returnable, Thursday, at Morrisville, before Judge Forbes. It is doubtful if Judge Forbes will hear the arguments, as he will probably enter an order sending the motion to Judge Lyon, before whom the other proceedings in the matter have been had.

The stock, implements and fixtures of the Oneida Silverware Mfg. Co. were sold at public auction a few days ago by order of the Supreme Court. The William A. Rogers Co., Limited, having their principal factory at Niagara Falls, purchased the property for $10,050. When the application was made at Binghamton, Saturday, for a confirmation of the sale Percy A. Coon, of Syracuse, represented by an attorney, opposed the sale. He presented to the Court a certified check, offering to purchase the property at a price 10 per cent, in advance of the price paid by the William A. Rogers Co. The sale was confirmed and Mr. Coon, assisted by Mr. Waterman and Mr. Witter, two of the directors of the Oneida company, have resorted to the present procedure for a remedy. Mr. Coon is a nephew of E. E. Coon, of this city. It is said he wishes to purchase the property and reopen the factory.

Binghamton, N. Y., May 20.—In the Supreme Court, Justice Lyon granted an order, May 18, confirming the sale of the manufactured and unmanufactured stock, implements and fixtures of the defunct Oneida Silverware Mfg. Co., Limited, to the William A. Rogers Co., Limited, of New York and Toronto. Sidney W. Moore, president of the old Oneida Silverware Mfg. Co., was represented, but no legal objections were made to the confirmation. Instead an offer was made on the part of Mr. Moore for the purchase of the articles sold, evidently with the end in view of reorganizing a company in this city.

Theft of a carload of Oneida Community silver from the Midland Central Railway was the ambitious undertaking of two Niagara Falls' residents, with a Thorold man acting as receiver. Clever work by an M. C. R. detective, however, soon located both the men and the booty, the latter being found in the Thorold receiver's pig pen—together with 120 bottles of whiskey. The goods were recovered and the men under arrest within a week of the robbery.

Oneida Silverware Mfg. Co.’s Affairs Cleared Up by Court Order

Oneida, N. Y., June 2.—The affairs of the Oneida Silverware Mfg. Co. and the confirmation of the sale of the property to William A. Rogers, Ltd., Toronto and New York, which have been dragging slowly through a maze of legal entanglements for several weeks, seem now to be settled.

In the Supreme Court, at Binghamton, yesterday, Judge’ Lyon ordered a dissolution of the injunction and a vacation of the order to show cause granted by Hon. G. A. Forbes, of Canastota, on the application of Percy A. Coon, Syracuse, and William E. Witter and Steven C. Waterman, of this city. The order to show cause required the receiver to show why a rehearing should not be had on his application for a confirmation of the sale of the silver ware company’s property. Mr. Coon had claimed that he was willing to pay 10 per cent, more for the property than the Rogers corporation had paid, and for this reason the two directors desired the sale reopened. After obtaining the order to show cause, Mr. Coon changed his mind and neither he nor the Oneida directors were represented in the interest of their injunction and order at Binghamton, yesterday.

As soon as the injunction was dissolved and the order to show cause vacated, the balance of the purchase price was paid by a representative of the William A. Rogers corporation, and the property was formerly transferred. The corporation bid $10,050, and the sale at that figure had been confirmed before the injunction dissolved yesterday was obtained. Receiver Stringer said that he had been informed that representatives of the Rogers corporation would come here this week for the purpose of conferring with the Chamber of Commerce relative to either the purchase or lease of the plant in Wilson St., where the Oneida Co. have been located, and that without much doubt satisfactory arrangements could be made and operations resumed there within a short time.
