Trial Of Old Case Brings to
Light Exciting Episode
at Meeting of Directors

After a delay of years the suit of w.
A Nevils and United States Senator
John P. Jones of Nevada and others
against William F1emming and others to
compel the specific performance of a con-
tract was ordered to trial by Judge Muir
asky yesterday morning. Senator Jones
was not present in court, but it was
announced that he had reached the city
and could be found at the Pacific Union
Club whenever his testimony was wanted.
When the case was called Attorney s..
M Shortridge, representing the plaintiffs.
asked for further delay on the ground
that demurrer had been submitted to
the court and the plaintiffs would like
decision on the points raised therein
before presenting their testimony. Judge
Murasky said he could hear the testi-
mony and consider the demurrer at the
same time. so Shortridge proceeded with
MS opening statement.
The attorney said he would prove that
the defendants had paid $1O0 600 on ac-
count of the purchase price of one-half
OF the Amador Tunnel Milling and Min
ing Company but that they had refused
10 i've up to their agreement to pay an
additional S150,000 out of the dividends of
their share of the stock and by arbi-
trary means had prevented the plaintiffs
from developing the mine, thereby pre-
venting the stock from reaching the
value it otherwise would have done.
"And we will prove,o continued
Shortrfdge, ss'that In April of 1887 John
Flemming, whose interests William
FlemminS succeeded to, approached
Mr. Neyflls during meeting of the di-
rectors of the company and said he
would kill him If he persisted In levy
Ing an assessment on the shares of the
corporation. Mr.. Nevills left the room,
but this WIS not through any fear of
personal injury. Oh no, indeed, 1t was
only to avoid trouble.
And through the failure to raise this
assessment the property, which was and
is of great value. was not developed as
it was intended it should have been and
the contention Of the defendants that the
dividends Of the company were not what
they expected they would be was the
result of their own acts and due to no
fault of the plaintiffs"
In cross-complaint Flemming and his
associate defendants demand the 500 900
paid on account of the purchase re-
turned to them. claiming that the value
of the mine was less than represented
and that instead of paying any more
for the stock they should be remunerated
for what they have already lost.
After ne statement of counsel had been
concluded, Louis Rosenfeld, president of
John Rosenfeld's Sons, was called to the
stand. He produced certificates of stock
and other papers placed in his custody
by A. Halsey, secretary of the Amador
Tunnel. Milling and Mining Company,
and they were marked for Identification
to be used later in the case. A continu-
ance until this morning was then ordered

ASA WELLS WIDOW
SEEKS HOMESTEAD
Stepdalghters Oppose Peti-
tion Because Property Is
in Business Section.

Mrs. Reba E. Wells was witness in
Judge Coffeys court yesterday in sup
port of her petition for a homestead on
a building rented as boarding house at
317 Ellis street that is included in the in
ventory as a part of the estate of her
late husband, Asa r. Wells. Her petit
tion for homestead on the property is
being contested by her stepdaughters.
Susie H. and Laura Wells, who maintain
that the property involved, which is
worth s35,o0O, is in the business portion
of the city and furthermore that Mrs.
Wells is provided with home in the
late residence of the deceased.
Mrs. Wells testified yesterday that the
bunoing upon which she seeks a home
stead has always been used as a dwell
ing, the fact that it was rented for the
use of boarders evidencing this fact. She
says the property was purchased by her
husband out of funds he acquired after
their marriage and hence is community
property. Further testimony will be
heard to-day.
