had an answer and a protest to the APP
p.ication for distribution. His answer
contained the usual allegations that the
successful litigant was not the child of
Thomas Blythe, and had never been
legally adopted, and was not entitled to
the estate, and should be estopped from
coming in under the decree, and all the
other allegations which have characterized
all these documents in the famous case.
He said if it were contended that he had
no rights in the case the court could not
refuse a hearing until it had passed upon
his right to be heard. He cited authorities
to prove his point, and then gave place to
S. NJ. Holiday. He represented the Henry
T. Blythe heirs, but made no address other
tnan to say Mr.. Towle's position was his
position.
Then w. A. Rix moved that Mr.. Towle' s
answer and protest be stricken from the

he moved that Mr. Holladay's answer and

was done, and then the decree of distribu-

of its executive committee and to give all
the property-holders affected by the Noe

Inc secretary, when he produced this
lonely contract, volunteered the informa-
ton that he would furnish the committee
with certified copy of the document. To
this Commissioner Anderson answered
that he was so filled with Joy at obtaining
TINS last rose of summer that he did not
nope for anything better than to copy the
document himself.
Among the most important contracts
which Mr.. Miller declared to be missing
were those made with Crocker & Co..
Huntington d Hopkins and those already
mentioned in connection with the West
ern Development and Pacific Improvement
companies
The total stock authorized to be issued,
Mr.. Miller claimed. was $100,000,000, of
which sos 900, 600 had been issued, and the
remaining $50 100000 held in reserve.
Ihe secretary produced some twenty-five
leases between the various roads and the
Central Pacific Company; also the pooling
agreements between the company and the
Atlantic and Pacific road, also the Southern
Pacific. But he could not produce the
pooling agreement with c. 7. Huntington,
so much desired by Commissioner Ander-
son.
Part of the testimony given by the late
that having once been retained as attorney
for the Southern Pacific Company, he was
pledged 10 never take a case against it.
However. in his capacity as an attorney,
he had brought numerous suits against
the Central Pacific Company.
On one occasion ne represented the in
terests of numberless stockholders in the
action known as the Robinson case. This
was compromised. Another time he was
engaged by the county of San Joaquin
against the Central Pacific to recover the
value of certain stock of the company be-
longing to the county, which had been
sold by the Board of Supervisors of the
county to Charles Mclaughlin, an en-
ploye of the company, and the value OF
which was never turned into the county
Golfers. This case was also compromised.
Mr.. Cohen had also been III the cele-
brated Cotton litigation, representing the
interests of the Southern Pacific Company.
In all these legal tits it was one of his
main efforts to get hold of the books and
contracts of the Central Pacific and the
Western Development and Pacific I'm
provement companies and the Contract
and Finance Company. He had always
been unsuccessful in his endeavors.
The case will be resumed this morning.
