Jefferson City.—F. N. Judson of St. Louis filed briefs for the fire insurance companies in the injunction and ouster suits of Attorney General Barker prohibiting them from canceling policies and for fine for combining to quit the State.
These briefs attack the sufficiency of the petition of the attorney-general and declare that the proceeding is in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution, which prohibits the taking of private property without due process of law.
They allege also that there was no antitrust law in force at the time that Gen. Barker filed his suits, that they have not combined to violate any law of this State, that the suit for injunction and ouster cannot be maintained because they are separate pleadings, that the quo warranto cannot be maintained because it can be used only for ouster and not for fine as asked for in this case.
Affidavits of Judge Bates of Chicago, general attorney for the companies; J. A. Waterworth of St. Louis, of the Missouri Actuarial Bureau, and some of the managers of the companies, are filed in support of the proposition that the companies have not combined to leave the state in violation of any law of the State.
Attorney General Barker has seven days in which to file his reply briefs when the cases will be set down for argument in the supreme court.
