According to Chief Watts. advertise
ments have been inserted In New York
aud Boston newspapers by either Mcbride
or Adams. seeking persons with spare cash
to become partners In deal by which
q large amount Of money could be made.
A Boston lawyer answered the advertise

TO make some money. Mcbride then
told him that he knew OF q man In Salem,
John b. Adams, who would sell 10000 shares
Of the copper stock for 90 cents a share
and that an option on 10000 shares at
the same price could be secured.
Chief Watts says Mcbride told johnson
that the stock could be sold In New York
for about o. 20 4 share and showed the
alleged kilograms signed by Haven and

diately concerned and other railroad
people and coal mining operators.
The testimony is somewhat routine
and pertains thus far only to the
character and capacity Of the various
mines aIoue The road, the number OF
miners employed aud the action Of the
railroad in the distribution Of caB.
The plaintiff occupied the entire

the number Of miners in the various
mines along the road, the object being
to show that some mines received
more cars according 10 their capacity
and the number or men working than
the plaintlT coal company.
John W. Fahey, superintendent Of
the Rosemont mines, was The next to
occupy the witness stand. He bad
