RAILROAD MEN DID NOT OPEN THEIR BOOKS

I formed the court that he had sent for the
missing books, and Lawyer Freidenrich
followed with statement to the effect
that no contempt had been intended.
Mr.. Willcutt was recalled to the stand
and testified that a meeting of directors
had been held in the morning before the
opening of court. There were present AL
vinza Hayward, Secretary Wiilcutt and
Charles T. Lathrop, two less than a
quorum of the nine directors, but they
held conference on the matter of Judge
WalIace's order for the production of the
books.
"was any one else present but you
three?"
"No, SIR"
"Were any of the attorneys of the road
PRESENT."
mo, SIR"
"You took this action on your own re-
sponsibility, without consulting your at
torneys~
Eyes, sir"
"Messrs. Hayward and Lathrop advised
that, did they9"
Eyes, sir"
do 1 understand" asked Judge Wal
lace in glacial tones, "that the wishes of
three of the directors are to supersede the
orders of this court?'
Mr.. Wilcutt denied this proposition.
His evidence as to the fact that no one but
the three was present was fatty contra
dicted later on by the evidence of Director
Lathrop, who swore that Russell Wilson
was present and advised the directors not
to allow the books to be brought into court.
Mr.. Hayward was recalled and the oath
was administered by Judge Wallace. In
response to questions put by Mr.. Clunie
he said that he was not familiar with the
value of the property of the road, but he
knew something about it. He did not
know much about the cost or the value of
the road. In his deliberations as one of
the directors he had been guided with
reference to those matters by the reports
of the construction committee and other
committees.
ut is pretty large concern" he added,
with an apologetic wave of his hand, land
have not the time to examine personally
into all its affairs"
On being further interrogated the wit
ness admitted lat he did not know how
many committees there were or their per-
sonnel. He had served as a member of
the finance committee, but could not re-
member who the other members of the
com mittee were.
"Did you, as director, vote for the is
suance of 1880, 600 of bonds?" asked Mr.
Clunie.
II did"

Down.
Upon her own petition the monthly al.
lowance to Mrs. Jane L. Stanford from the
millions left by her husband has been re-
duced from $4,000 to $500. She says in
her petition for reduction that $500 a
month is fair and reasonable amount,
and is sufficient to meet all of her ex-
penses. The payment of the bequest of
81, 5000 900 to the Stanford University re-
euces the income from the estate by
$4,000 year, and this makes IT neces-
sarY to reduce the allowance.
