KUSi THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, FRIDAY NOYEMBER 27,- 1891. OIL MEN IN TROUBLE. A Suit for Eich lands, in Which the Parties Are Pittsburgers. GEOLOGIST-WHITE ON THE STAND. He Tries to Explain a Number of Letters Attributed to Him. KEWSY NOTES PEOJT NEAEBT TOWXS rsrrCIAL TEI.IGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Mobgaktown, Jfov. 2G. A sensational oil snit now occupies the attention of conrt here. The suit involves the possession of no less than 100,000 worth of land, and is instituted by "William S. Stevenson, late Superintendent of the Fuel Department, of the Philadelphia Gas Company, against Ira DeWitt. both Pittsburpers. Prominent v itnesses have been called into the case, notably, Prof. I. C. White, State Geologist, of "West Virginia and Professor ot Geology in the State University, of Morgantonn. Tbe-trial is going on before I. Grant Laz 7ell, Commissioner in the case, since Judge Marshall had refused a motion of Stevenson for a receiver. Beside DeWitt, Prof. "White, Prof. T. JI. Jackson, of Clarksburg; Colonel C. II. Smith, of Fairmont, and the South Penn Oil Company, are named as de fendants. Stevenson and DeWitt came to Monon galia county in July, 18S9, and began buy ing and leasing lands together. Soon after they made a contract with Messrs. Jackson & Wliite by which they obtained 6,000 acres in the county, md with T. 3L Jackson & Co., b which they obtained many leases in Maricn county. Leases Obtained la Many Counties. They also together obtained leases in lieu is, Gilmer, Clay, Koane, Doddridge. Calhoun, Ritchie and other counties in this State, and in Greene county, Pa., of all of which, according to Stevenson's claim, he nnd DeWitt were joint owners. A. L. Lowrie, of Pittsburg, and Joe Mc Dermott testified as to the cost of boring the wells. Then came the testimony of ' Prof. T. a White, State Geologist. The professor said: "The plaintiff (Stevenson) acted as a business scent for him as far back as 18S5, but he had no other interest in the transactions than as agent. The busi ness was purchasing some stock in the Phil adelphia Gas Company, which he afterward sold, though a great deal of the stock re mained inhis name. At that time he was an employe of the Philadelphia Natural Gas Company. He never gave me any in formation that was not proper," said Prof. White. "On the contrary he refused me information recrnrdine the prenrc of wells which I ireath deired to learn. Only as he was about loleate the company did Iget anv information regarding the pressure, and then it was under the promise that I should never use it to the detriment of the company." "Did vou advise Stevenson to bring De Witt, Gillespie or others to this country?" 'T mav have advised him to bring some of his old friends along. I may have ad vised him to come, but never promised him commissions if he brought a man along who would drill a test well. I have no interest in the properties." "On orabont the 25th of January, 1889, lid yon not write or send to plaintiff" as fol lows:" Hatching Vp a Big Scheme. Pear Stevi.so:- Yours of 22d duly re ceived. You ask my advice about changing your business. I want to get out of the Phil adelphia deal first, for when you leave the ompany the pointers will stop and we will not have any inside track. I am hatching a scheme by which bis money can be made, nnd as you and I understand each other we can pull together. Workine for others isn't the thins, especially if you havo the brains. Tuink of the money I have put Into Guffey's pocUct. The matter you sent me about the rhiludelphia Company will be kept strictly confidential, to don't ne uneasy about their gettini? on. Very truly yours, L C White. "And did you write or print on a type writer to the plaintiff as follows:" Dfar Stitvesos Yours received. If PeWitt, GillenDie, et al arc good picking, Nteer them this nay and we wilt dlwy. Get as many fat fellows as you can on your MTiuK, nnd the Geologist will make them happj (prospectively). Before leaving the 3'hiladelphia Company set all th informa tion jou can about their plans, records of wells lunpi, etc., as we may want to sell them some gas teiritory. " L C. White. "Oi did you not on the loth of February insciibc the paper with your own hand, "Wost Virginia "University, Classical, Scientific and Law Course,' and did you not write as follows in February 15, 1889:" Dlak Steven sov The statement of our account came yesterday. The mUsin-r letter with the check turned up all ri;ht this ii.ominp I see now, after we got out the lift o could, that the market has strength--nrd considerably, but I do not regret the ii'ilo-iding, as the spurt can only tie tem rtorarv I am now setting some very valua ble temtorr. and hope to make up some of the los on this gas business. Win not lose much except time and expenses, and nave so at ransed matters that the other fellows will have to stand most of the latter. If you Turin? a man to drill a test well, you can Jiu e an interest as a commission, etc, etc I. a White. Trot. W bite Explains the letters. Thf foregoing were strenuously objected to by Attorney Berkshire, as it purports to j,ive the contents of letters which were not produced or their absence accounted for. Prof. White There are some things in that first letter I might have written. ( Uhers obviously are a forgery, as I cannot tnnceive why Mrs. White and the children were mentioned when Mr. Stevenson had not met them at that time. I do not think 1 ever w rote a line of that letter. "No; I think it is probable that I might have sent him that third letter. Regarding the first letter I should say, qualifiedly, that the phrase beginning "I am hatching a scheme," eta, w as never written by me. The reference to Mrs. White throws doubt on any o ther por tion of the letter. "Do yon mean to swear positively that you did not write this letter? "Part of it is a forgery, while I may have w ritt en some things in it. Regarding let ter Ka 2, 1 had not heard at that time of DeWitt or Gillespie coming into the btate." "In a letter to plaintiff in 1887, did yon liOt add a footnote saying, 'I am much obliged for measurements of gas wells?' " Objections again by counsel. White The measurements referred to were not those of the Philadelphia Gas Company wells. Being questioned about another letter, he denied having written a postscript asking Stevenson for information on the pressure f if certain w ells, pronouncing it a clever but palpable forgery. Other letters were produced with the same result the profes bor admitting the authorship of all portions except the passages concerning the inside information wanted. A Minister for FlRy Tears.

PARKEnsBUiso, Xov. 2C Special A nnmber of Mormon elders have been in Boone, Balcigh and adjoining counties in this State making converts. Among those who had berome believers was a family named Jarred, one of the wealthiest in Boone county. Iast night the east-bound train on the Chesapeake and, Ohio Eailroad brought four Mormon elders and the entire Jarred family to Guvandotte. on their way to Utah. Mr. Jarred sold all his posses sions in this State. They remained in Huntington over night, waiting for other converts from Kanawha and Boone counties. There was one member of the Jarred fam ily, however, who had not been converted. This was Miss Mildred Jarred, a b-autiful cirl aged 19 years, who had a lover, A. jd. Griffith, a young lumberman in this State. Although she begged piteonsly to be left behind, her fatherand mother were obdurate, and on the next train, which brought 20 or more converts, young Griffith arrived to capture his lady love, if possible. During the night she escaped from her father but was caught and brought back. Griffith brought with him four friends, and after vainly attempting to induce Mr. Jarred to allow Griffith to see Mildred, a police officer was told of the affair, and he gaining admission to the room Mildred was in, told her that Griffith was near and she could see him if she wished. Meanwhile the Mormon elders were using all their persuasive powers to induce her to accompany them, but she heeded them not. A lew minntes later she and Griffith were together and decided at once to marry. She not being 21, license conld'not be secured in this State without her father's consent. They at once hired a buggy and drove to Ohio, where they were united in marriage. A few hours later the train bearing the Mormon elders and their converts pulled out for Utah, leaving the young couple behind. llnng His Wire Dp by Her Thnmbs. Springfield, O., Nov. 26.
