Per Ouriam.

The answer of the respondents James J. Eyder and Catherine E. Eyder does not, in the particulars excepted to, comply with this requirement. Instead of expressly denying the allegations of the bill, it sets up matters of defence which deny the allegations of the bill only by implication. Prom such an answer it is difficult, if not practically impossible, to determine what are the real issues involved in the suit.
