They feared the forthcoming evidence from FW Thachey, Stanley Easton, and James McCarthy would prove the Star deal’s value and justify the purchase price, making the plaintiffs look slanderous. Several witnesses for the defense were listed, including mining engineers and geologists from San Francisco, Glendora, Spokane, Kellogg, and Berkeley, with testimony to follow (Continued on Page 4).
