Murray asserts Spokane jurisdiction fraud in opera house case
James A. Murray files a separate answer in the federal case with John O. Bender, denying Spokane residency and alleging Montana residency was a fraud to gain jurisdiction. He concedes ownership of the opera house property before Dec 27, 1897, notes a prior attachment action, disputes lien validity, and claims the sale to S. F. King did not transfer title, while the company retains redemption rights.
