]. BLAKE GlLPIN REPLIES
TO SUIT FOR DISSOLUTION
Denies Firms Difficulties Were Due
to Any Neglect of Bust
ness by Him.

j. Blake Gilpin of the brokerage firm
of Crane. Gilpin &- Co. today filed answer
to the suit for dissolution of the partner
ship recently brought against him by his
partners, Benjamin Crane and Beverly X,
Sinclair. Mr.. Gilpin denies that the fail
business on his part. and asserts that
his closea ttention to the affairs of the
concern undermined his health and pre-
vented him from attending TO business.
Mr.. Gilpin admits that he specula ted
in stocks while member of the firm,
but only with his own money His ac-
tionS in this regard We're known by
clares that Mr.. Crane kept a speculative
account in one of the local brokerage
houses during the term OF the partner
ship
Through Attorney T.. Sprigg Perry
the defendant says all entries made by
him in the books of the firm were accu-
rate. and when he was taken sick the
account with the New York brokers
showed a credit in favor of the firm of
nearly $4,000. lie says he is unable to
understand how that credit should have
been wiped out.
Mr.. Gilpin tells the court that Mr..
Sinclair never put any money into the
copartnershfp. but gave his note for
$1,000. This note. he AYERS, has not
been paid. Mr.. Crane. he asserts, de-
clined to raise more money when the
crisis came In the firms affairs, al
though the defendant had suggested
that he would raise an equal amount
to tide the firm over its difficulties.

loan is not only in harmony with their
splendid impulses, but fulfills every re-
