i - Counsel Denies Charges in 12 DUREESTATEASE DIMISSAL OF SUT $45,000,000 Action Over Contract. By the Associated Press. NEWARK, N. J., December 9.— Counsel for the estate of James B. Duke vesterday etitioned Federal Judge Runyon to declare a non-suit in the action for $45,000,000 brought by George D. Haskell of Springfield, Mass., against the estate. In the pe- tition it was contended that the plaint- if! ot sufficient grounds on which to base a suit because there d been no actual damage to his business, which was merely in the process of formation when Duke with- drew his support; and there had been no deprivation of property, since no business existed. . efense counsel also called the jury’s attention to a State law which prohibits the testimony of what a “dead man said.” The damages for which Haskell has sued are potential profits which he said would have accrued if a contract entered into by Duke and himself for the manufacture and mining of alumi- num had been carried out. Duke Haskell asserted, switched his interests to the Aluminum Co. of America, the merger resulting from information he had provided the cap- italist. . Officers Transferred. Lieut. Col. Edwin S.
