HEARD IN COURT.
The McAuIiffe Case Again Before the
Attention Of Appellate Judges.

The case OF Owen McAuiiffe against
Eugene L. McAuliffe was heard today on
the defendants exceptions TO the
masters report. Eugene McAulihe, The
son OF the plaintiff, carried on
street with his father until last
year when trouble arose between them
and the partnership was dissolved, q
master being appointed TO settle the busi-
ness relations between father and son:
The son claims that he owned one half OF
the business, but the master tound that
ler share in the firm. To this
report the defendant excepts. The case
has been before the courts several times
already. w. III. Greene, IA arguing the
case today for the defendant, made strong
objections TO the account submitted
ney, one OF the accountants In
the Investigation. Mr.. Greene
asserted that the figures OF the other ac-
countant, Daniel Burroughs, were the
correct ones. q. J. West in reply as
serted that the books OF the con-
Germ were a complete potpourri from
beginning to end showing that the son
who kept them had most carelessly
conducted the affairs OF the concern.
Mr.. West said that Eugene McAuliiie
committed unblushing perjury, and thet
the books were totally unreliable. The
plaintiff claims that the defendant owes
the firm 5000, while the ma ster found
that the firm owes the son 1000. The case
was held for advisement.
