Nashville, Tenn. — Amending his find¬ ings of fact and conclusion of law in the Crescent anti-trust case, Judge Elmer E. Davies last week issued a document stat¬ ing: “All petitions for further reconsider¬ ation, modification, and objections to find¬ ings and conclusions filed herein, except¬ ing as herein granted, are denied and over-ruled accordingly.” Davies ruled “the plaintiff is entitled to an injunction invalidating the existing franchises to which the exhibitor defendants are par¬ ties.” Davies further ruled that the plain¬ tiff is entitled to a decree dissolving the combination and defendants found guilty of violating the Sherman Act must resign as officers of any affiliated corporations. The amendment also denied the petition by stockholders of four corporations seek¬ ing to avoid dissolution of partnership with Crescent.
