When the trust decided TO abandon
the Grant Manager Guiterman said it
was not because the Grant was not a
modern smelter, but because of the
strike and because mining men had
not given it the proper support.

Beecher in regard to inventory of fix
lures in the Newtown market.
October 7, 1908, we were on good
terms and H. B. Coger On that day
wrote to Harry B. Coger authorizing
w. J. Beecher to take charge of all
affairs, and that Harry B. Coger should
turn all things over to Mr. Beecher and
take a receipt for all cash and things
so delivered. He was influenced by
his wife and her brother.
Some half dozen letters introduced
were acknowledged by Harry Coger to
be his fathers handwriting, but he
claimed letters were dictated by 9TH
ers. These letters were to Harry
Coger and w. J. Beecher in regard to
closing out the business. All monies
received by me Harry Coger) after Mr.
Beecher took matters in charge I kept
and charged them up to myself. 1
took in about 800 during that time.
When l locked up, October 10, I told
you (Beecher) the money 1 had taken
in that week was up to the house.
October II, l told you that proposed
to keep the money on hand. October
8, Bert went out on wagon to sell out
cheap meat we had in the cooler.
and he turned over to you SIG. Al which
you gave to me to go with what then
had. Burt gave you about $40 and
said that was all he had. 1 first knew
of the deed through Mary G.. Beecher
and my stepmother about two weeks
after it was passed. Had been think
of this application for conservator
before 1 knew it was passed. He
started to build barn in the summer
which was evidence of his unsound
mind; his general appearance all sum-
mer indicated unsoundness. Every
body thought he was crazy. The barn
cellar was started after we came up
here. At O'Clock the hearing was
adjourned subject to convenience of
counsel. r. G. Gilbert, H. P. Boyson,
D. G. Bacon, Eli B. Beers, George
