Wood mentioned to her that the cor.
tficate had been removed from sinh
%. which was blank Ms to name and
amount of shares. Dinsdale AZ thi.
time held certificate 20 for 224.94O
shares. This certificate stood in Dins.
,lalc's name for the full amount on the
records Of tho company without auv
deduction or transfers. II is evident
that he intended to leave the court and
auditor Wood under the impression
that he was justly entitled to this
amount Of stock and that he considered
himself safe in not turning 1t over
with the rest Of the records in com.
pliance with the courts orders. and
when he learned from Miss Tavenner
that Wood found him 1850 shares
short he Immediately endorsed the L..
$50 shares over to other parties. No
witness signature appeared on the en-.
dorsement, however.
Miss Tavenner stated to Wood tina.
Dinsdale had made this out by him.
self and turned 1t in without hsr
knowledge. Since this certificate was
supposed to have been turned in IL was
necessary to show a new certificate
taken out by Dinsdalc lsss this 1850
shares, and as Dinsdale had probably
been apprised by Miss Tavcnner that
stub. At this time Wood had in his
Wood was dated but blank M to name
and amount Of stock, he attempted to
fill out new certificate for the proper
amount on one Of the az blanks he
afterwards turned over TO Wood. OF
course, he did not know the date on
the corresponding stubb in Woods
possession, and when the new certifi
cate SO was shown to Wood 1t failed
to correspond with the date on tho
stubb. At this time Wood had in his
possession certificate 81, which was
narrower than the stub to which II was
attached, and IL convinced Wood that
Dinsdale was Withholding another
stock. Wood demanded II ana got IL.
My time il up and ! can not take you
fully over the transactions rs shown in
this book, but II shows why DinsdaIe
was anxious to lose and conceal 1t, for
the issue Of stock from this book in.
creased the stock issue Of the com
pany from $50, 400 shares to 1,l03, 625;
an over.issus Of 343y625 shares.
II increases Dinsdale's holding from
2ls,090 shares to 063,2O0.
When Dinsdsle turned in this stock
book no claimed that 1t was copy Of
the other, but there are sixteen issues
in this book not in the other and nine
issues in tho first book turned in that
are not shown in the last turned in by
Dinsdale except 14,645 shares. No
wonder ne was anxious to conceal 1t
That he had both books in his posses
sion all this time Is evident from the
dates of stock issues In each, and sew
eral certificates issued from both books
at the same time, as shown by th'
dates. 1t is impossible to cover more
than a small part Of the transaction
as shown by the records In the time
have. am already trespassing on Mr.
'Clark's time and I must close, thank
ing you for your attention.
Mr.. Clark's Excoriation.
Gentlemen Of the Jury; ! will no
take up much Of your time. We vii
get right down to the basis Of this mat

ampa fashion, and see whether tn
facts in this case do not justify tn

was he who came here from the eas'

group Of mining claims, and started t
Incorporate the celebrated Litti
Brother Gold Mining company. Blu
before he had incorporated it, and b'
fore the company was in existence, h

by the mutilsted records OF his con
pany, in his own handwriting, that
met in solemn conclave with his nice

and voted all Of the capital stock
$4,000 to himself and Mr.. Barr. II
says he gave this stock to Mr. Bar
But the fact ID, that he originated u
