MOORE HAS ASKED
FOR A RECEIVER
Judgment of Custer Against Louisville
and Nashville Has Been
Appealed.

Montgomery, May 17.-(Special.)-It has
just been discovered that Walter Moore
of Birmingham on yesterday filed with
Judge A. D. Sayre of the city court here
an application for receiver for the
South and North railroad. This followed
the judgment of custer issued by this
court in the case of Henry B. Gray VS..
the Louisville and Nashville railroad and
was in anticipation of the judgment at
once depriving the Louisville and Nash
VILE of the right to operate the South
and North. This move on the part OF
Mr.. Moore, who owns thirty-four shares
of the stock of the South and North, will
hardly come up soon. in view of the fact
that Judge Sayre allowed an appeal to
the supreme court, delaying conditions
that would have made receiver neces-
sary. This appeal will be argued on next
Thursday week. The Louisville and Nash
villed bond for the appeal this after
noon, and the supreme court will be al
lowed to pass on the situation before at
tempt is made to- enforce the judgment
of custer.
