Candler, in a 1 a special demurrer filed in De- j Kalk County Superior Court. The demurrer which also was | an answer to the Byfield suit, makes a sweeping denial that! Mr. Candler had committed any j wrong against Mrs. Byfield or is liable for any damages and de clared Mr. Candler did not per suade the Byfields to accompany him on the trip to Europe and that “so far as he knew the plaintiff and her husband werej as anxious to make the trip as' the defendant was.” The suit against Candler was filed last August following a suit instituted by Mr. Candler against Mr. Byfield charging blackmail. Cartdler charged that blackmail was used to coerce from hfm a $22,500 note which was given to Byfe d in Paris and on which he; asked the court to stop payment. s This suit still is pending, but has been taken off the regular calen dar.
