LulnS loF tne use " Tue mortar patent.
The Warner Process Mortar Co., he
stated, owes about $1,000. Mr.. Curry
was in the employ of the Quaker City
Mortar Co. about two months. L. T.
Warner is yice-president of that com.
pany. The witness declared that he
and his associates could not make the
patent worth anything. On cross
examination he said he disposed of 500
shares of stock to Amos r, Little.
A. ID. Warner was recalled and testified
that S14,790 appears on the defendants
books as the value of the mortar outfit.
More than 10 per cent OF his and e. L.
Warmers time, he stated, is devoted to
the mortar business. A statement of
the business, which was offered in evil
dence, was identified by him as one
which he had given to Judge Ball. He
said he gave 1t as a matter of compro-
misc, not thinking the case would be
carried to court. He explained that
the reduction in the price of the sand
sold to the mortar plant was made be-
cause the plaintif's counsel objected to
the price charged. He SAID he offered
Mr.. Curry certificate for LOO shares
of stock for his receipt in full for all
claims and Mr., Curry refused the offer,
saying he would accept tho certificate
on account. The Warner Process
Mortar Co., he asserted, has only SO
cents in bank and owes the Charles
Warner Co. $1.l00, On cross,examina-
ton he said the only bona ode offer ever
received for the patent was made by
Warner Moore. He denied that he had
received an offer for the use of the
patent in London. He stated that he
had received on July Goth, 1892, 81, 444
shares of stock. all Of which he returned
except II shares.
Tho greater part of Tuesday mornings

snmed by tue Curry Va. Warner case.
