nominal sum, and more than two years
after the said sale, much Of the same was
purchased ut such low rates by various
parties not concered In the sale, for the
purposes of litigation and speculation and
such persons have, as this defendant Is in
formed and believes, possessed themselves
of the control of said company and have
displaced the original officers thereof, and
have caused this suit to be commenced
whereas, in truth. If all the fraud charged
in the complaint herein were true, the
parties now controlling the plaintiff CON-
pany, and for whose benefit this suit is
brought, would have sustained no damage
whatever therefrom, inasmuch as said
mine and property in the worst con-
dition thereof, charged by the plaintiffs,
would be worth far more than the price 80
paid by said parties for said stock, and
more than the entire stock of the company
would amount to at the price per share so
by them paid. And this defendant direct
ly, positively and without reservation,
AYERS, that neither himself nor any person
by his authority or permission. hath at any
time made to the plaintiff, or to any person
connected with the purchase of SAID mine,
any statement, assertion, representation,
remark, or suggestion OF or concerning the
said mine, or relating thereto, which was
IN any respect untrue or different from the
fact, or different from what this defendant
at the time believed the truth to be that
the agents and persons principally con
cerned on behalf of the plaintiff in making
such purchase, did not rely upon nor were
they influenced by, the opinion of this de-
PENDANT, or OF his associates. but they
acted upon their own judgment, formed
upon facts, circumstances, and informa-
ton by them obtained in their own way,
and IN their own time, and many of such
persons were, at the time of such sale, as
accurately and thoroughly informed In re-
lation TO the product and condition of said
mine as this defendant was or claimed to
be, and this defendant declares and AYERS
that all the statements in said complaint to
the contrary are false, unfounded and un-
true.
And this defendant denies specifically each
and every statement in said complaint
which imputes to this defendant, or to
either of the defendants, any fraud, deceit,
Misrepresentation, conspiracy, conceal
ment, artifcc or wrong, in respect of any
of the matters set forth or mentioned in
SAID complaint and he denies each and
every fact stated, averment and allegation
contained in the said complaint which is
not hereinbeforc specifically admitted.
Wherefore the defendant asks judgment
that said complaint be dismissed with costs.
