Mrs.

Krupp contended that the stockholders of the New Frontier hotel presented the spa to her as a "veritable bonanza" which would yield a substantial yearly profit. The claims were made by Mrs. Krupp in an affidavit filed in district court on a suit brought by 32 creditors, and totaling $114,304, which she and former Frontier president Louis Manchon are seeking to have dismissed. Neither she nor Manchon were actually in control of the hotel, she alleged. The corporation officers just led them to believe that they were in charge.

Manchon was given the "honorary title of acting president" as a mere formality to impress him with "his importance," the affidavit stated. Manchon, she claimed, had no voice in the corporation, its business or in the actual management of the hotel. Mrs. Krupp said she poured $185,000 into the hotel last November on behalf of herself and Manchon which she now claims as a "fraud on The statements were included in a motion to dismiss the big creditors suit. District Judge Gordon Rice denied the bulk of the motions but granted two motions as to Manchon and Mrs.

Krupp controlling the hotel at the time the debits were incurred. The civil action was filed here on March 29, and is only one of nearly a dozen against the hotel which closed its casino and main dining room seven weeks ago. Special!
