Minority Stockholders Sue 



Suit has been filed in the Ohio Supreme Court at Columbus by 

 Laura A. Krell and Albert Krell and others representing minority 

 stockholders in the Krell Piano Company, seeking to set aside the 

 sale of the assets of the Krell Piano Company by Lawrence Max- 

 well, who sold the assets of the company to the Werner Industries 

 C-ompany of which he was the principal owner. Mr. Maxwell 

 also was the owner of the majority of the stock in the Krell Piano 

 Company and it is alleged in the petition that he took advantage of 

 the plaintiffs in negotiating the sale, and refused to allow the 

 holders of common stock to vote on the question of the sale. 

 Attorney Maxwell, against whom Laura Krell filed her suit in the 

 Cincinnati Superior Court, won in that court and in the Court of 

 Appeals which held there was no fraud in Mr. Maxwell's actions and 

 that the stock for which the Krell Company stock w^as exchanged 

 was worth par at the time and was equal in value to that of the 

 Krell stock.
