and Kuker against the Howard
Automatic Packing Machine
company. '.
This is an action for division
of the profit from the sale of a
cigarette ? stamping ... machine.
Four Durham eentlemen were
interested in it. Messrs. Gilbert.
Kuker, Howard and Lyon enter
ing into a contract to an agree
ment to push the invention of
Mr. Howard for a patent. Un
der the terms of the contract,
Iessrs. Gilbert and Kuker'
were to furnish $300 to forward
the patent and on the day the
contract was drawn they paid
$300. They declare at other
times they paid $250. The only
point in controversey was wheth
er the machine could have been
constructed or not. The plaintiff
says they went as far as they
could with the machine, but
couldn't proceed further on ac
count of interference from Wash
ington. Thsy were unable to
build the machine until it was
approved. Mr. Howard did not
know how to build it because ev
ery time the department mada
new suggestions and these were
adopted, there were others
standing in the way of the de
vice. Finally it was sold for
$6,000 and Messrs. Gilbert and
Kuker, claiming by the contract,
40 per cent, of the profits, sued
for $2,400.

eral days Judge Webb has been

matic Packing Co., mentioned
above, non-suit was ordered and
