Henry D. Stringer brought two suits in the circuit court yesterday against Thomas Mellon and wife and William Mellon, who had been associated with him as proprietors of the Leader-Traveler, an afternoon labor paper.
In one of the suits Stringer asks $15,000 damages and in the other he seeks to have the affairs of the concern wound up, in order that his interests may be restored to him.
Stringer charges in his petition that Mrs. Lillian Mellon, who was a part proprietor in the concern, induced him to sign an instrument of writing conveying the property to her husband by representing that he would have to be joined with her in the transfer, as she could not act alone under the laws of this state.
Stringer alleges that Mrs. Mellon only owed $1,500 and told him that she merely wished to defray this indebtedness.
After the conveyance was made Stringer alleges that he discovered that he had conveyed all interest in the concern and believes that it was a scheme to defraud him.
