Mr. DuPont, he aaiJ, paid only $80 a share for tbe stoek, when it was worth much more. iir. Deonison, in selling it at tbia price, so far below ue rvai raiue, violated bis trust. Mr.

Dul'unt bad himself elected President of tbe ilmiJi-llico Company by use of bis stock when be knew Mr. Dennison bad violated bis trust in selling. Mr. Dennison waa mads General Manager, though alleged to be a man who gets oa sprees that render bim incapable of attending to bit basinets, Tbe next man under Mr. Denniaoa ia also alleged to te girea to drinking.

Thus waa tLaiiaged, by Mr. DuPont aa President. Ll.ia trust which demanded tbe most careful, honest management in tbe interest cf Mrs. Thornton, tbe sister Xr. Dennison.

Mr. DuPont, then interested to tbe extent of about one-thirteenth in the Main Jellioo Coal Company, and owning $7,500 out; of 1100,000 stock in Mason.

Tbey drove out tua free labor who, running at so much per bunel, prefer to make large coal, lu ibtt way, aa tbe expanse of the Jallico Company, of which Mr. DuPont waa President in trust. Mason, Foard in which firm be was a principal owner, waa eorioued by letting oat convict labor. It ia true, he said, that Mr. DuPont did not owa stock ia tbe Mason-Foard Company now, but be sold out his 17,500 stock Jan.

They bad no money to run nt except tbeir profits, and this rendered the company insolvent. Cven tbe land from which tbe ooal WU uUg Was not paid for. The General Superintendent. Dennieon, waa ao untruthful that he only told the truth when he was drunk, and then by accident. Perkines his first assistant, to far as known, was only too much addicted to drink, and tbe affaire at the mines were in a bad way though by Special prep ration, aa supposed, tha mines made a good appearance at a recent visitation of State oiheera.

Mr. DuPont bad removed the offices and business of the Jeilico Company to Louisville, iu violation of tha charter of tha company and of law. Mr. Da via read tbe answer of the defense. First, be said, Mr.

DuPont bad paid 80 oents oa tbe dollar for his 1,843 shares of StOCK, but Mr. Tbornton had paid just the aame for hia, and both voted on an equal footing at tbe meeting at which Mr. DnPonl was elected President; At this meeting Mr. Tbornton preuio4 The charge that the offices had been removed to tnis city was not true. The omoes of President and (Secretary bad been removed here, which was not ia violation bat in accord with the provisions of the esartsr of tbe company, made by the plaintiffs before Mr.

The plaintiffs had given extremely full powers to Dennison, and atked ail rttao lion at alow salary when Mr. Du Pont came in. As to Mr. Do Pout's son. that eon a graduate of a school of technology at Troy, to iearu tbe business went to the Main Jeilico mines and did work worth $75 a month for 3i a moutb, going into tbe minea, assisting the mine bqbs, and taking bis place on demand.

DuPont bad taken especial pafbs to create a market for tbia. Tbe Central Coal aad iron Company bad paid full mar ket price's, and that for coal for which there was no demand from otaera. This oeal tne Central, Company bad stored and held for sale to the interest of the Jeilico Company. Some aaiea may have reea made at isolated points, in Georgia or elsewhere at higher prioee than the Central Company paid, but teee pricee did not fix tbe market. As to Mr.

DuPout's buying goods and log ta tae miners, it oould be shown taat be did boy. but sold at cost. Mo trouble bad arfeen till Mr. Thornton had beta thrown out of place ia the company's employ.
