the I'd of September while in the IasupIas d.
tie, the possesson is delivered to him there on the 4th
OF September Besides this discrepancy. the description
10 the two titles is different They bear no resem-
blancs. tsst
shall now call your attention particularly to the
evidences OF forgery presented by the original mining
ue. copy OF which the Witnesses for the defence said
they got al Lagunas. But we have another copy OF the
mining title which Abbott and Siocum found al Lagun
las II appears though the learned gentlemen thought 1t
necessary TO send Tor this copy that there was already
copy OF the original which had been placed IN their
possession as lar back January or February 1892, and
which, as II was stated on the stand, was cot from the
office OF the alcade the 10Th OF November. 1851.
When Abbott asd Sloeums copy was assaed then, for
the FIRST Tine the senior copy was introduced TO the
tee OF the jury AN speaking OF ms as part OF the
history of The and not 10 reflect IN any degree
the counsel the other eide. say, then, that this
Geo A Gardiner. on the assumption that he knew the
copy here, thought necessary 10 send for another.
and when the other did not hold water, had
much water put upon II, the other copy Tor the first
time, is introduced have shown you that, under the
law of Mexico, there could have been original, and
where there is no original there be copy. The
copies this has brought hilher part and parcel
OF the scheme of fraud with which he started and in
which he " lives, moves, and has his being"
Before leave the point OF the legal mposslblity OF
the title being proved will call attention TO the follow
ing law which has been proved by Mr.. Aguilar.
There the counsel read The printed law of San Luis Po-
tosi providing the several kinds of stamped paper on
which copies OF all recorded documents be written
and showed by the stamped paper used on GARDENERS
copies, that the law was violated in a and no two OF
stamps
This paper is stamped with the fourth or twenty five
cent seal. Now the business was worth more than
$4,000, and therefore this false seal II II was is
sued by functonay under the law, this deed would
have been different paper. The business was worth
than $1,000 The answer 10 that is that il does not
appear from paper itself that the business worth
that amount OF money; but how do we know that we
have nothing to show its value but the dispositions at
tached 10 the paper All know of that paper is in
nexion with The dispositions; aud they show that the
value OF this mining establishment must have exceeded
$4,000 Now take il that when public functionary is
to Xix the price Of seal or stamp paper, which
title is 10 be framed and the of the State is in
part raised from these stamps. he would take to in
form himself what sort oil stamp ought to be used.
he did not II be cannot get exactly the measure, al
it is his business that the public interest shall not suffer
he would take care not put a, the lowest stamp In
this he has used almost the lowest stamp that he
could. Ii he exercised any caprcous authority would
be TO get more money and take 1t that he had some
proper foundation of facts which he acted and there
fore, these dispositions attached to it, showing
that the property worth more than $4,000, we mus
infer that they attached TO it at the time the copy
was taken. The defendant knew this was the law, and
the necessity OF meeting the objection which they
had raised. One of the witnesses made an excuse
for It, that the alcade said it not the sort OF paper
required BY the law hut because no paper OF the RICH
kind could be got at that time, permission was gwen tc
inferior paper. That couoborates Aguiars ties
imony in regard to the operation of the law if it needed
any confederation. But no authority was shown in thu
aicalde 10 dispense with the OF the paper required
by law. When John Charles Gardiner got his copy i
had the four dollar stamp on it, He seems to have
thought he had been quite asiuie about the whole OF h,
business say the lcas and yet this has not the RICH
stamp on it, which should be The stamp of eight dol
lars, and which the other one would have had upoI
il had il been a true copy His, however, is false
paper, and the fourdolar stamp il cannot make il
true II only shows that he little sharper

business q
The paper which Abbott and Slocum brought has M
