The Dansingburgs File Their Answer

William Dansingburg, Prudy Dansingburg, his wife, and Frederick J. Dansingburg, defendants in a suit brought by the Federal Life Insurance Co., of Chicago, have filed their answer. The suit was brought to enforce payment of a judgment for $202 secured against William Dansingburg, in Wayne County, as security on a bond given to the complainants. After the judgment was obtained the complainants could not find that Dansingburg owed any property upon which to levy, but that a farm formerly owned in fee simply, by Mr. Dansingburg, had been conveyed to his son, and then back to the parents creating a tenancy by the entirety, or a joint tenancy. The complaints averred in their bill that the deeds in this transaction were withheld from record in order to permit Dansingburg to engage in the commission business in Detroit and give him a basis for credit.

In their answer the defendants deny all these allegations of fraud or that the deeds were withheld with fraudulent intent and further say that Dansingburg's signature to the bond to complaints was secured by misrepresentation and fraud and that the judgment is a fraud upon his rights. That he has always paid his debts and is still willing to do so.

Cavanaugh and Wedemeyer are defendants attorneys.
