EACH STOCKHOLDER LIABLE
Claim Of Counsel for the Government in the
Stanford Case

Claim Of Counsel for the Government in the
Stanford Case
SAN FRANCISCO. June 7.-Judge Nc
kinsick, special counsel for the govern
ment. made his argument in the suit
against the Leland Stanford estate to-
day in the United States circuit court.
He endeavored to demonstrate that the
debt which was created under the act of
congress OF 1862 was merely statutory
Limitation and not condition as the
Stanford counsel contended. He showed
that each stakeholder is liable for the
debts of the corporation. He argued that
the railroad had entered into a contract
with the government and as result GER
tain liabilities were created. The rail
road had accepted the land grants and
agreed to pay the bonds on maturity.
The government had eXacted the rail-
roads pledge that it would MAINTAIN the
road in good condition transport the
mails Tor certain fixed sums and pay into
the treasury of the United States a certain
per centage of the dividends in order to
redeem the bonds when they maturcd.
Counsel argued that congress had i'm
posed personal LIABILITY. The govern
ment was not dealing with an inanimate
body like corporation but with the
stockbold ers them selves.

HARRINGTON INQUEST.

Coroner's Inquiry Into the Recent San
Francisco Murder.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.-The cor
oner's inquest into the demise of Miss
Nellie Harrington, murdered in her
fiat 10 days ago, was resumed Monday.
Mrs. Grouse, neighbor of Miss Har-
rington, said that Senator Buck was
not the only man who had visited the
murdered woman. Another man had
frequently taken her driving. Mrs.
Mary Roy, sister of the deceased
woman, testified that she had quarreled
with Miss Harrington because the lat
ter persisted in accepting Senator
Bucks attentions, knowing him to be a
married man, and that continually ac-
companying him to restaurants and re-
sorts was injuring her character. Sew
eral witnesses testified that Senator
Buck was in Oakland after p. m. on
the day Miss Harrington was MUIR
dered, so that Buck could not have pos
sibly crossed the bay before the hour
her dead body was discovered.
