James Spurgeon was silver dissol-
Yer from 90 to the winter Of '9!. When
consolidation melts came up they
were accompanied Ivy taga. The tags
are then hung on a hook. I think
they were there during Wright's

dozen times in four years in the melt

with friends Hal no opportunity to
take metal. Didn't have near as go d
chance as silver discover, myself

PICKLER's BULLION
Constable Paterson the next wit
ness. Swnre that be in June last
searched BilI Pickler's yard and dug
up some bullion. Clark objected on
the ground that It was never shown
that the bullion dug up in Picklecs
ward was the property Of the Govern
ment. and that if was not large enough
to account for TIE shortage. Wood
burn claimed that the ASSAY value Of
the stnff found in Pickler's yard cor
roborated with the gold in the spur
ions melt, 195, and Pickler had oppor-
tunities-being emnl"yed in the
! melting room-to have made the
bogus melt.
Long arguments followed and the
Court said it would allow any evi-
= dence which would shed light on the
case.
Witness then described the findi nc
of the bullion in Pickler's shed where
hor So had been kept 1t weighed
about ten pounds. 1t was afterward
