WANTS TO Be RELEASED
DR.. John A. DOusherty Now Sorry He
Adopted PusiliSt MOriarity,
TRYING TO RID HIMSELF OF HIM
Has Appealed to the Courts in
the Effort.

Cornelius j. Moriarity, whose fight
ing name is "Jack Daly," and who
bears the name of Dougherty, through
an order of adoption by DIR. John A.
Dougherty, has been drawn into another
sort of fight than that to which he
has been accustomed. Several months
ago DR.. John A. Dougherty, through
William S. Hilles, his attorney, filed a
petition in the Office of the orphans
court asking that the order of adop-
tion be vacated.
From the petition it appears that the
order Of adoption was made December
29th, 1894 DIR. Dougherty declares
that at the time Of making the petition
for the adoption of Moriarity, he
tDougherty) was non compos mentis,
but since that time has recovered his
reason. He AYERS that he signed the
petition without comprehending the
nature of the transaction, and that his
signature was procured BY false and
fraudulent misrepresentation. He is
informed also that Moriarity "who rep
resented himself to be 10 years Of age
at the time of the making of the said
petition # was in fact
upwards of 81 years of age" DIR.
DouEnerty declares tnat ne never nau
the intention of adopting Moriarity,
and ''knew nothing of the said pro-
ceedings so far as he can now recollect
until after the Same had been presented
and the order made thereon" He be-
lieves that Moriarity is not proper
person for him to adopt. lie says that
the order of adoption is in violation of
certain rights which his family have
in his property, and that his wife
neither assented to nor knew of the
proceedings. He alleges also that fraud
was perpetrated upon the court.
Dr. Dougherty asks, therefore, that
for an order reviewing the order of
adoption and the issuing of the certifi-
cate of adoption, and that the same
may be vacated and declared null and
void.
Upon this petition an order to show
cause why the order of adoption should
not be vacated was issued. Moriarity
is fighting the application with the
assistance of Willard Salisbury ano
Walter H. Hayes.
The case came before Judge Gruht
Saturday, but postponement was made

April, $780, Mrs. Moore supplied Keely
with funds to continue his researches

she notified both Mr.. Keely aud the
company that she will no longer con-
tinue her support. She made the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the
matter:
1.-THE announcement that the Keely
Moore Co. no longer needs nor desires
assistance has terminated the contract
between Mrs. Bloomfield Moore and

by them on April 9th, 1890, in the
presence of Mr.. Keely's attorney,
Charles B. Collier, ESQ.,, and with his
full consent
"By the terms of said contract the
company now resumes Its responsible
ties and will hereafter provide Mr..
Keely with all the funds needed by
him for his costly researching instrn-
ments and for the construction of an
engine which can be operated by
others as well as himself. Until then
there is no commercial value, in Mrs.

proposed reorganization and the put

When this tube gets inflamed you have a

when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
