JOHNSON DID NOT APPEAR MONDAY

HE FILES A DEMURRER TO PETI-

TION INSTEAD

Was Asked to Give Account of How He Transacted Business But Has Failed to Respond

Monday was the day set for the hearing of the petition of the American Type Founders company and the American Electrotype company, for an accounting from Receiver Johnson of the Ann Arbor Printing Co., but Mr. Johnson did not put in an appearance. j Instead he filed a demurrer to the petition, through Attorneys A. J. Sawyer & Son, claiming among other things that:

"Said petition does not show that said petitioner, or the persons or corporations he pretends to represent, are entitled to be paid out of the assets of said Ann Arbor Printing company, now or at any other time in the hands of said receiver.

"That said petition does not show or charge that said receiver owed a duty to make any report or file any statement showing how much money he had received and paid out, or how much the receipts of said business had been, or how much the expenses of coducting and carrying on the same had been at the time of filing said petition.

"That the said petition is not properly entitled.

"Neither the law nor the order of the court requires the receiver to sell the plan, as prayed for in said petition."

The demurrer has not yet been passed upon by Judge Kinne, and it remains to be seen whether or not it will be sustained.
