diana against the defendants Demp-
sey. who is not within the jurisdic-
ton of this court, has no force and
effect against the defendants Richard

the suit between plaintiff and Demp-

mitted. the alleged contract between
plaintiff and Dempsey was vague
ind uncertain instead Of clear and
specific.
Not Prepared
mo proof was offered by plaintiff
that it was prepared to carry out
the contemplated exhibition between
Dempsey and Wills. nor did the
plaintiff establish by sufficient proof
that It had complied with the terms
of its contract with Dempsey"
