HENRY MILLER'S ANSWER
lie Is Willing Now to Wind Up the
CO-partnerShiD


Answer has been filed in the Superior
Court to the suit brought by Jesse Potter.
as administrator of the estate of Charles
Lux, deceased. to compel Henry Miller to
wind up the affairs of the firm of Miller 6,
Lux. as well as for an accounting of all
receipts and disbursements in connection
with the partnership since the death of
Lux. in 1887
In The complaint II was charged that
Miller had made no effort TO wind ND the
concern. but, on the contrary, had re-
Invested the firms money TO the extent of
81, 25O,OOO and had increased the indebted
ness from S171,0O0 to S425, coo: also, that
he had used the firms money TO his own
benefit. apprOprialing whatever OF profit
had accrued from any business venture.
Mr.. Miller answers that while it is true
that he relnvested a certain part of the
firms capital, yet the amount stated in
the complaint is grossly exaggerated It
is true that the indebtedness amounts to
S171.000. but the allegation that it now
stands at $4,000 is emphatically denied
1t is contended that under the articles of
partnership Ii was agreed that after the
death OF one partner the survivor should
be allowed seven years to wind up the
concern. That seven years term had not
expired until March 10, 1894, and it was
TO avoid injury and loss to the concern
that Miller continued to transact business
for the advantage If ali interested parties.
In conclusion Mr.. Miller claims that he
has been in partnership with Lux since
1858. that the business has been constantly
growing in value, and that he is now as
anxious as any one to settle up all its
affairs He now submits tn the jurisdic-
ZION of the court to gain instructions as to
how to proceed with the liquidation and
will abide by such decision as the court
rpndpr
