There were ten of these specifica
tions, aud now Lttwsou denies each
of them with the utmost positiveuess
aud detail. He challenges Heine to
prove them true, aud on proof of
the truth of each one of Heinze's
charges he promises to give 920 to

pany November 1, and to each of

forfeits if paid would run into
millions of dollars.
Mr. Lawson adds:
"That tho mystery of the so called
'Heine sellout' may be cleared up, 1
will say: Last summer Heine
ceased to own the United Copper
company, aud as arrangements were
being perfected to turn it over to the
Amalgamated, he was called oast to
save what he could from the wreck.
lloforo the prcceut owners had passed
the title, 1 served notice upou the
management of the Amalgamated ou

stockholders that, although the price
to be paid was a compaiatively small
one, 1 would secure an Injunction
from the courts, stopping tho sale ou
the ground that the Amalgamated was
already entitled to the United Copper
company's property because of tho
oie thsfts of Heiue, aud that com
pany from tho Amalgamated com
pany's properties, but that if the
courts decided differently, then the
sale could proceed and 1 would agree
lu such event to ask the army of
Amalgamated stockholders who 1
control to ratify it. Thereupou
suits, with damages at over 825,000,

trial, which is the present condition
of affairs."
