presentations by which the contract OF
sale was induced are wholly immaterial
and not sufficient to authorize a re-
scission OF the contract

was no shipping ore on the dump, and
that Snow was out about $1,000, were
within the knowledge Of plaintiff and
he cannot complain whether the state-
ments were true or false
Fourth-The alleged false represent
iatlons are not shown to be false With
IN the knowledge of this defendant.
Flfth-It Is not shown that plaintiff
relied upon the statements of defend
ant, but to the conrary 1t Is shown
that he relied upon his own Judgment.
Sixth-No coercion has been showH
Seventh-The claim that plaintiff and,
defendant agreed verbally not to sell

asked the attorneys for the defense If
they would admit that Chief Justice
Miner had purchased from Snow 5000
shares of stock at cents per share IN

later at cents per share. Senator

on Justice Miner was called to the

but was unable to remember the date
Of the last purchase which, according
70 the stock books, was made about
