AMENT CASE IS FINALLY CLOSED
(Continued from Pitgo 3.
From the evidence it appears that
C. W. Anient caused tlio corporation
to ho organised; when the first
jnecting wwns held there wore pres
ent only two directors out of seven,
one of thoso directors being the
brother of C. Anient and the other
brother's wifo. Thoy resided in Cal
ifornia where the meeting was held.
At this meeting the record introduced
shows that C. W. Anient proposed
to sell tho corporation, which had
ono and ono half million shares of
ono dollar each, some mining prop
erty near Grants Pass, called the
"Dry Diggings," for all of the stock
of tho corporation, exceptiug seven
shares, which was left for the sev
en directors. The ovidence shows
the owner ot all of tho Btock but
seven shares, that tho company had
no stock to soil. It ts contended by
tho plalnttftQ that these sales In tho
company's name were inado to In
duce the purchasers to believe that
tho compr.ny was getting the benefit
of tho sales. Tho ovidence shows
woro turned over to him according
to tho court order. However, tho de
fendants brought In now booka
through tho entire trial. As the cnoo
progressed first ono book and thou
another was required to bo brought
In In ordor to explain some transac
tion upon which tho plaintiffs had In

this board of directors voted him
practically a million nnd a half dol
lars in its stock for this property.
This was in December, 1901 and he
did not convey the property to the
company until August of the next
year, after ho had reaped from tho
sales of this stock sums testified
by tho experts to aggregate $12S,
967.82. The evidence shows that iu
tho next month after the corporation
was organized he entered into a con
tract for- the company wih certain
Chicago brokers to sell the stock at
certain prices, viz: forty cents per
share, ode dollar per share and
three dollars per shar. The plaintiff
contend that if tho proposition had
been ligitunato tho defendants would
not have been able to tell in advance
what the market price of the stock
would have been. This same con
tract provvided for disbursing divi
dends though the company at thut
time, according; to the evidence,
owned no property, but simply, had n
bond on a dry placer mine.
Organized In 1001.
The evidence discloses that the
corporation was organized Decern
Iter from stock sales, a resolution
was passed by the board authoriz
ing C. V, Ament to sell stock In tho
company's name as though It belong
ed to tho company, and for this priv
ilege, according to the resolution, ho
was to allow tho company a. sum
equal to $50,000, less tho expenses
ot making the sales and running tho
office Tho ovldonco shows that whllo
the company was allowed tho bonetlt
of sales acgregctlng approximately
S9S.000, yet tho dofondants drew out
In expenses and salaries and direct
payments from tho company more
than that sum. It Is tho claim of tho
plaintiffs that this resolution was
an afterthought for protection
against tho many sales that had al
ready been mado in tho nanio of tho
company, whllo tho company, accord
ing to Its books, had no stock in its
treasury. The evidenco shows that
after the company had been organ
ized It began to build a dam across
Rogue river between Woodville and
Grants Pass and which is now
known as tho Anient or Golden Drift
dam. During tho time that this work
was progressing C. W. Anient took

prospective buyers were besieged
with literature through tho mails and
that there was an annj' of agents
abroad representing to the people
that the stock was a good invest-:
ment and sure to continue to pay
dividends. The literature sent
i by tho company, as introduced in the
evidence, shows that the compuny
represented that theso dividends
wouldd be permanent and would in
crease from time to time nnd that
tho company was already paying on
tho basis of 331-3 per cent on the
investment. The company being cap
italized at ono and one half milion
it would, of course, have required
fifteen thousand dollars per month
to hnve paid a monthly dividend of
oone per cent.
Dividends.
Tho plaintiffs contend that since
tho defendants were in charge of the
company and did not pay any divi
dends on nny stock except thut
bought by tho public that the rest
of the stock must have belonged to
the company and that, therefore,
Ament was a trustee of the unsold
stock. The result of this would, of
course, he that the company owned
all of the stock. Tho plaintiffs con
tend that tho stock could not huvo
benn given nwaj' by two directors
and also that there was no adequate
consideration paid for it. Tho evi
denco shows the defendnnts began
tho calo of the stock on the monthly
payment plan. Thoy had thought
dividends would be paid only on such
stock as was more thun half paid
for. The first dividend that was.
paid was only $107, though $15,000
would have been required to have
paid such n dividend 011 nil the stock
of the company then outstanding.
The evidenco shows that no dividends
wore paid on tho stock sold by tho
defendants, nnd the plnintiffs con
tend that this caused the investors
to beliovo that the company was
prosperous and paying $15,000 per
month in dividends, whereas, tho real
amount paid out was only on tho
stock which tho investors hud bought
nnd which amounted to only $107
for tho first period. Tlio plaintiffs
contend thnt this so stimulated tho
stock sales that tho next monthly
dividond was, as shown by the evi
denco, $513 then $854 then $1051
then $2829 and thou $3225.
Did Company Hnvo Stock?
All of tho sales of stock which
woro on tho monthly payment plan
woro on contacts signed by tho
company and rearing tho company's
seal. Tho 'plaintiffs contend that if
tho original transaction had been
valid whereby 0. W. Amont becamo
which tho plaintiffs claim camo en
tirely from the stock sales and bo
longed to the company. The evi
dence showed that in many instances
the money was drawn out of tho
bank account of the company in Chi
cago upon company checks and that
tho bank wired tho money to Grants
Pass. Tho evidence shows that
while this money was drawn out of
the bank account, yet Amont took
credit for it ns though le had ad
vanced it. In tho case he contend
ed that in those Instances where
checks were drawn on the company's
account, he had deposited tho money
in currency to tlio credit of tho com
pany, but the plaintiffs showed that
in many instances no corresponding
deposits wero mado at or near -tho
dates when the money was drawn
from the company's account. Tho
money thus drawn out of tho com
pany's account and for which Amont

last days ot tho trial, a list giving

notations woro In poncll. C. W.
Ament, under an examination by the
plaintiffs, testified in almost ovory
Instance that he mndo tho notation.
This was In the early examination of
tho case In Juno. Just before tho
case was closed It was discovered by
tho oxports that theso poncll notations
had largely been removed and orns

testified to them soparatoly they aro

ANNEXATION
Kxiwrts' Evidence.
The evidenco furnished by tho ex
ports shows that the cash paid in
by the stockholders where they
bought stock for cash was $189,000,
and the amount paid in by them on
monthly contracts was $98,000, Tho
cash sales were all taken by Amont,
according to tho ovidence. Whon a
contract was made thero seomod to
bo no way to toll whether it was to
be filled by stock which was sup
posed to belong to tho company or
whothor It was to bo filled by stock
which Ament claimed to belong to
him. An analysis mado by tho ox
ports and introduced showed that tho
contracts for largo first payments
and for largo amounts woro almost
Invariably put on tho hooks as bo
longing to Amont, whllo thoso whoro
tho paymonta woro small, or tho sales
small, woro put on tho books as bo-
longlng to tho company. Tho ovl
donco shows that tho company, at Its
own oxponso, kept two BotB of books,
