In Carson a jury heard the United States case against John T. Jones charged with stealing $23,000 in gold bullion from the mint on June 16 1893. General Clarke outlined the Bodie Standard bar No 77 journey, forged entries, and a spurious melt to conceal the theft while Jones faced questions about a lavish lifestyle and missing vault gold. Warren Noteware testified that Jones kept books showing 4000 ounces more than received, with the excess being silver substitutions.
