Excerpt: ... 1899. Opinion of the Court. Dudley, in the presence of all of them, interlined the resolution previously drawn by Ridgway, so as to include fees and expenses, and in that shape handed it to Joslin and Bacon for passage by the board.

Mr. Dudley testifies that he twice suggested that Mr. Ridgway be sent for, but that Joslin, acting for the company, objected, giving;is his reason that already Mr. Ridgway had been paid $2,000 fees, and if he knew that fees were to be paid by the compa...
