Flimflammed General Warren in Mantle Largey trial
General Charles Warren testified he was mispaid in the Speculator deal, claiming Largey shorted him $1,000 while Nichols got $5,000 more. He said Mantle’s reaction showed the same concern, and noted $24,000 vs $30,000 base payments. Warren recounted past lawsuits, bond postings, and a 1893 sale of the Comanche mine leading to further disputes.

Mantle Threat and War Paint Remark at Attack Site
In the testimony, the witness recalls Mantle and himself using “war paint” and tomahawks as a threat image. He cannot recall specifics about a speculator, but says it was understood they intended action. The timeline places the war paint about two hours after the attachment. Largey reportedly took possession under the Hurst lease before the bond due date.
