The indictment charges that it was the purisme of these defendants to cause the corporation to be organized for the pretended purpose of carrying on coal oiierations in Carbon county for the pretended benefit of the investors, imt for the real purpose of deriving personal profit to the defendants. Fraud by means of letters, prospectuses, iiewspujMT articles, maps and plats are alleged in carrying out false itrelenses concerning the stability and financial condition of the compuny, as well us its property and coal land holdings.
