He says Judge Glenn did not claim the city must pay damages and that Blakemore did not record the judge's remarks. Moore asserts the remarks were written by C L Walker and submitted to Judge Glenn, who denied making them. He notes the judge did say an adequate remedy at law exists if the railroads are damaged.
