They state Katz holds a one-third interest, purchased in 1913, for $2,500, and that since then he has received dividends amountnig to $2,700 over his original investment. Katz, the answer states, placed as manager of the Cosmopolitan, at 79th and Halsted St., which is owned by the securities company, and after some time was superseded by Max Nathan when his inefficiency resulted in a loss to the company. From that time, the Aschers contend, Katz has harassed them in an effort to force the purchase of his interests at a high figure, said to be $110,000. It is further alleged that the demand has been accompanied by letters threatening litigation unless his requests were satisfied. An offer of $50,000 made to Katz by the Aschers was refused, and the present suit for an accounting and a receivership followed. The answer denies the affairs of the Cosmopolitan Securities Co., and Ascher Bros., Inc., have become badly entangled, as was charged in the Katz affidavit, nor are the companies "threatened with or on the verge of bankruptcy." The books and accounts of both companies, according to the plea, are simple and most efficient and are open to Katz's inspection at any time, despite his claim they are closed to him and are complex. In a lengthy statement the Aschers declare in part: "The damage thus caused by Katz's malicious attempt to compel .A.scher Brothers to pay him a fancy price for his minority stock in one of their theaters is beyond estimate; and even though the outcome of the hearing set for July 20 shall prove to be a complete victory for the theatrical firm, the unfavorable publicity will not be entirely offset."
