Quote LAW THATBARS
Shooting NEAR ROAD
Counsel for du POnt Club
Argue That Another
Court Has Jurisdiction
Mr.. HILLES SSAYS THERE
WILL BE NO REPRISAL

Chancellor Charles NJ. Curtis today
heard argument in the injunction case
of Marshall ]. Maloney and Eugene l..
Husbands against the DUPONT Trap
shooting Club. This is the case in
which MaloEey and Husbands filed a
bill asking for an injunction to stop
shooting by the DUPONT Gun Club, at
targets on its grounds at Henry Clay.
The allegations we're that the reports
of the shots annoyed residents near
the grounds and that the shot stung
people and horses passing along the
county road. at Newbridge.
William S. Hilles presented the nrsl
argument for the gun club and conf
mented at length that persons are not
expected to sleep In day time, when
the shoots are held.
Mr.. Hilles maintained that no shol
reaches the road, since No. 1 trap ma.
been located where IL now Is.
His arrangement was along th'
line that the club does not maintain
nuisance and that the rumor is ground
less that the DUPONT Company woull
cause reprisals If employees maue al
ddavits against the club. The pes
feelings exist at present as Away
among the company and its employees
he said.
John p. Laffey, of the law depart
ment Of the dupont Company, iolio"
ed Mr.. Hilles quoting opinions and e'
tracts from decisions in other state
in cases bearing on this case.
An old statute of Delaware wa
quoted prohibiting shooting within 80
feet of a public road, and prescrioin
penalties for violations. rms sta
ute was passed about 1852. II was a
! qued by Mr.. Hilles and Mr.. Laffey thi
III any legal action was to be take
TO prevent trapshooting at the duPol
Gun Club grounds, It should not be
4 the Court of Chancery. but procee
, ings should be by arrest and indie
, ment in a court of equity against Il
offenders.
