CAPT MOORE IS
OUT or COURT
Judge Gunnison sustained the de
murrer to the complaint in the case of
Capt. William Moore against J. Her
nard Moore, yesterday, and gave ('apt. I
Moore SO days in which to file an j
| amended complaint. I'atil that shall;
have been done he is out of court. The
demurrer was generaly and on the
ground that the complaint did uot state
facts sufficient to constitute a cause of
action.
This is a suit that was begun by Capt.
Moore against his son for *10, OX),
alleged to have been due on account of
the partnership they entered into
many years ago when the town?ite of j
Skagway was first located by J. 13,
Moore. The latter denies that he owes
any such sum, or, in fact, any sum at
all. He alleges that he and his father
had settled their affairs several times
during the partnership, and that there
was a final settlement when the part
nership was dissolved, at which time
he received proper acquittance.
The friends of J. Bernard Moore says
that ona who is familiar with his
| father's fondness for the courts of law
will understand how impossible it
would be for the former to remain the
old man's debtor for these many years
without this suit having been corn
I meoced long ago. They say the old
! man would never have consented to
! a settlement of the differences between
' the two had he believed himself en
j titled to 110,000 or any other sum from
: his son.
