In a Bastult Supreme Court case for 1500 suit alleging breach of contract over cotton gin patent rights and warehousing, John P Miller and others cross examine Hammond about his November 1910 dealings with Sully.

He recounts negotiations with the Hirsch Syndicate and his aim to shield Miller from any harm. A social hotel meeting after a November 16, 1910 incident is described as a brief, inconclusive moment. Cross-exam resumes Monday. demurrer to injunction will be ruled by Justice Barnani.
