The Heinze side of the Snohomish and
Tramway hearing was presented before
Judge Knowles late yesterday afternoon
when Judge Mediation presented more
than seventy af1davits from employees of
the mine, containing a general denial OF
all the charges made against the Heinze
men, and especially made a denial OF
the allegation that the cars from the
Tramway and Snohomish were topped
with waste or ore.
One affidavit was from John Ritchey,
a shift boss employed by Heinze. An
drew Newberg, in a former affidavit for
the receiver, had sworn that Ritchey a
instructed him to steal ore from the re-
ceiver. Ritchey AYERS that Newberg is
a prevaricator of the first water. B.
Garfield in his affidavit alleges that he
was approached by c. S. Batterman n
Heinze. Mr.. Garfield say he refused,
whereupon Mr.. Batter1nan offered him a
better position at the Boston & Montana.
Among the parties making af1davits
were the following:
John Ritchey, Richard Thomas, Pat
rick Kelly, e. D. Aiken, w. H. Prisk.
Fred Shirley, B. Garfield, w. P. Farrell,
Charles Hughes, Al Erickson, L.. w. Will

MI. Heinze's affidavit was to the effect
that the receiver was not required to en-
ploy a large number Of inspectors and
| watchmen, because the said receiver had
always obtained his just proportion OF
the ore. He says the receiver is only
charged the actual cost of mining, and
is in fact receiving better terms and
treatment han though he were operating
the mines himself. Mr.. Hefnze also
charges c. S. Batterman with having at
tempted to- bride certain employees of the
Montana Ore Purchasing company and
! induce them to make false statements
md affidavits with reference to the divi-
sion of the ores mined from said claims;
that he has secured persons to make false
afidavits for the purpose of causing the
receiver to dispute the fair dealing OF
afiant and his brother Inc to bring the
matter into the court and for the pur-
pose Of attempting to discredit the
Heinzes in this community; that it is the
desire and purpose Of said Batterman to
do everything to annoy and harass them,
and to so bring it about that the opera
tons at the Snohomish and Tramway
mines will be delayed and the production
reduced to the end that the Heinzes
might not have the use n benefit OF
the said property.
Another affidavit was from William
Doble, a partner of Andrew Newberg,
He says he was employed with Newberg
on the 800-foot level of the Tramway, and
makes a specific denial of all the charges
made by Newberg.
The hearing was continued until mex
Monday.
