Restraining Order
Lifted on Christmas
Whisky Dividend
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Dec. 7.-Circuit Judge
James E. Chenot yesterday dissolved
an injunction restraining the Ton
Moore Distillery Co. from paying q
Christmas dividend of whisky to Its
stockholders.
Company officials announced i'm.
mediately that the distribution-27
gallons of whisky for each share OF
Stock-Would be made on December
81.
Mrs. Esther Liebling of Chicago
who obtained the injunction charged
the Baltimore Pure Rye Co. OF
Maryland had conspired to enhance
the value OF its majority stock hold
ings in the Tom Moore Distillery
/ Co and to decrease the value of is
sues held by the minority stock
holders. A similar restraining order
granted another stockholder was
dissolved a week ago.
| In diSsolving Mrs. Liebling's in
junction, Judge Chenot held nc
conspiracy was shown.
Counsel for Mrs. Liebling con-
tended yesterday that the true value
of 25,513 barrels of bulk whisky or
hand is not reflected in the listed
assets of the concern because OF
Office Of Price Administration price
limitations and Government regu-
lations which prevent the manufac-
ture of new liquor stocks.
The defendant company, which is
incorporated in Michigan, had re-
piled the injunction suit was filed
to harass and compel the Tom
Moore Co. to make settlement of a
claim against it by the husband of
Mrs. Liebling"
