Mr. Deen waa aware of every step
of the organization of the Company,
and agreed In advance to everything
that wus done. Af our request, not
only waa the draft sent to the First
National Bank, but every paper per

having any objection to Mr. Cooper
at a Director, which would be absurd
In a man of his social and financial
standing; and we assert that evary-
thing that waa said about thla waa
said In the presence of Mr. Cooper

We charge Mr. Deen with being fa

him with misrepresenting wilfully ana
maliciously these facts so as to de
