ARGUES MURPHY'S SUIT
AGAINST ABE RUFF
George Keane Contends Iha'
Note Was Not Negotiable

Frank j. Murphy's complaint against
Abraham Ruef, claiming $4,000 from
rthe former boss for legal services rem
dered during the latter's trial for brlb-
cry, was attacked on demurrer in Judge
Sturtevants court yesterday by George
B. Keane, representing Ruef.
Keane argued that as Murphy had
made the note payable to himself per-
sonaIly, and not also to order or
bearer" it was not a. negotiable instru-
ment and therefore the plaintiff was
wrong in describing it as promissory
note
Keane made the further point that
there was no allegation in the COM
plant that the obligation is still owing
and unpaid
Judge Sturtevsnt decided against
Keane on both points and overruled the
demurrer
