Presidents F. E. Herriman, of the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corpn., Rembrandt Peale, of the Peale, Peacock & Kerr, and J. W. Searles, of the Pennsylvania Coal & Coke Co., all testified that they had considered the Jacksonville agreement, bitter bone of the whole contention, to be morally as well as legally binding.

Baker, of the Pittsburgh Terminal Co., has already testified the same (despite contradiction by his competitor, President Morrow), having established that his company kept the agreement, was not again called to the stand...

Bass had fought through some ten rounds of one of the most vicious featherweight combats in memory with the jabbing agony of a fractured bone fighting his savage adversary's battle.
