BY PRENTISS, VERDICT
Award of SIS, 900 Made to
Oil Man by Jury.

A jury before Justice Donnelly in the
Supreme Court decided on Monday that
Richmond lowering, president OF Rich
mond lowering e. Co., Inc. had been
libelled by Franklin d. l.. Prentiss and
awarded damages OF $4,000.
Mr.. Prentiss in 1917, in a circular is
sued to stockholders of the METROPOLITAN
Petroleum Corporation. accused Mr.. Lew
ering OF concealing the facts of the devel-
opment OF a great oil gusher in Mexico
and said this concealment resulted In
loss OF that property by the Metropol-
titan Petroleum Company and was made
for the personal benefit of Mr.. lowering
and his associates. Justice Donnelly
charged the jury that the assertions of
Prentiss were libel per Sc and a verdict
was returned in ten minutes.
The Prentiss charges were the begin
ming of lawsuits involving ownership OF
the famous Tepetate we'll of the Island
Oil and Transport Corporation, 10 which
the Metropolitan Petroleum Corpora
ton laid claims. The verdict against
Mr.. Prentiss in favor OF Mr.. lowering
was the first rendered In any of these
suits.
Judge Waddell in the United States
Court in Richmond. Va. issued in 1917
a decree for the defendants in a trial
in which the particular charges Of the
Prentiss circular had been made the
basis OF an action against the Island OIL
and Transport Corporation.
