PRACTICALLY KILLS THE CASE.
Stanford Estate Bsa,s the United States in
Great suit.

Stanford Estate Bea,s the United States In
Great suit.
SAN FRANCISCO. July Judge Ross,
in the United States circuit court, has sus-
tanned the demurrer of Mrs. Leland STAN
ford in the suit ommenced by the gen.
eral government against the estate Of the
late Senator Stanford for the recovery OF
moneys on account of Central Pacific
railroad debts. The court sustained the
demurrer on the ground that the in.
dividual stockholders were not liable for
the debts OF the corporation, and while
the government was given time In which
TO file an amended complaint it is under
stood that this decision practically kills
the case.
The Judge holds that the state can dc
nothing in the matter, because the law
holding stockholders liable individually
for the debt Of corporation was passed
after the Pacific railway people made
their contract with the government, and
the government has no claim because
that contract does not even hold the cor
poration, let alone its members, liable
from reimbursement to the government
for its bonds.
