Bank of Yolo v. Bank of Woodland, C. Simpson – Carbon Typescript Transcript of Testimony. (13″x8.5″) Carbon typescript on rectos only, violet impression, 77 leaves. Marbled paper boards, brass-fastener (post) bound at top edge. Rear pastedown stamped by Payot, Upham & Co. Stationers and Bookbinders, San Francisco. Front cover slightly cupped. Pages show soiling, edge wear, and damage consistent with smoke exposure. Pencil marginalia and annotations throughout; inconsistent pencil pagination. Front pastedown bears pencil case-tracking notations, including a docket-style reference and the notation “new trial” – consistent with contemporary use by counsel tracking the case through post-trial motions. Significance: A carbon typescript transcript of witness examination testimony in Bank of Yolo v. The first witness, C. Contemporary newspaper coverage, independently located via the California Digital Newspaper Collection, confirms the case’s documented history: in November 1901, C. Of San Francisco, the Bank of Woodland, and Simpson to recover proceeds from the wheat sale withheld by the Evans firm; and in 1904, after an adverse verdict, the Bank of Yolo’s motion for a new trial was denied by the trial judge, prompting a notice of appeal. This sequence corresponds directly to the “new trial” notation penciled on this volume’s front pastedown, suggesting the document was actively used by counsel during these proceedings. Provenance: From the collection of a retiring San Francisco antique dealer.
