the dispatch from San Francisco stating &
that the Savings Society Of Denver was

Edward o. Russell, secretary OF the Saw

"Although Edward Cole now claims
that the California statutes require the

opinion that there was NO law in Cali
fornia requiring the Savings Society to
qualify in any way. For this he admit.
ted himself satisfactorily paid with $25.
He subseq uently rendered bill for $3.50
for giving written copy Of the same
opinion. This was referred to Estee &
Miller in San Francisco for settlement.
"The Savings Society did not enter
California until fortified with an opinion
from the attorney.genefal. % we'll as
from Cole. that the laws permitted it's
entrance into the state. Both opinions
were mysteriously changed after the So
