THE RALLROAD-PAGE TRIAL.
His Account of Governor Pages's Transac
tiOns Mr.. IIickok's Addison Railroad
Shares--George B. Chase Called by
the Plaintin-"RutIand Railroad
Securities" PatnphIet,
Securities" Pamphlet.


Wednesday morning Mr.. Ballard re
sum d his examination of Joel NJ.
Haven. Among other things, to account
for the discrepancy between the act
ual cash and what the books called for
he said that of the $4,000 rent due from
the Cheshire railroad to the Rutland road,
only $4,000 ever came into his hands as
treasurer, the other $4,000, Gov. Page
had, and so far as he knew from the books
or otherwise, never accounted for to the
railroad company; that Page often gave
him checks and asked him to hold them
one check he held Il year and two mopths
these checks, thus held, appeared on the
books as cash that Gov. Page always had
access to the books of the company.
He stated that the stock ledgers were
missing from the vault about the time the
new management of the road came in.
He was nterrOgated in regard to 300
shares of Addison railroad stock claimed
to be owned at one time by j. w. Hckok
of Burlington and said that the railroad
never received any benefit, to his knowl-
edge, from the Sl2, $50 that GOV. Page
claimed he received for those shares and
| deposited in the bank of redemption tC
shares went to make up the 1928 shares of
that Addison stock which the railroad
was represented to own in the reports
issued during that time, and that he sup
posed Hickok held these shares to indem-
nifty him for paper which he had endorsed
for the company. He claims, that the
money the books called for, was in the
hands of the president, Gov Page, and
that he is in no way responsible for the
| deficiency; that he kept the books in all
respects as GOV. Page told him and that
Coy. Page had the proceeds of acceptances
and notes Of the company without his
Mr.. Havens, knowledge or consent, as
| treasurer
Mr.. Haven's examination, direct and
cross will be quite lengthy; and the
plaintiff will rely to II large extent upon
his TESTIMONY to contradict that of Gov
Page, and to make out his case.
IN the afternoon, Mr. George b. Chase
of Boston, who was one of the original di-
rectOrS of the road was called to the stand
Mr.. Chase was examined by Mr.. Baker il
reference to the condition of the affairs OF
the road in or about 1870, and Gov. Page:
connection with them. Mr.. Chase wa.
president of the corporation while GOV
Page was in Europe in 1871. His testi
mony bears upon the item IN the plaintiff
specifications which claims that Gov
Page used some $4,000 of the company
money for which he never accounted tt
settle IL suit brought because of misrepre
sentations in II pamphlet, entitled " RUTLAND
Railroad securities" issued and signed by
Coy. Page and Mr.. Chase. Mr. Chase
claims that the Governor revised and cor
rected the pamphlet and is responsible fol
the misrepresentation in il. He also claims
that Misrepresentation about the indebt
edness of the road We're made to him by
Gov. Page, and to other directors anl
