Viewing Melville Davisson Post: "The Life Tenant" (1912).Melville Davisson Post: "The Life Tenant" (1912).In "The Life Tenant" Randolph Mason successfully negotiates the sale of his tubercular client's interest in a coal field in West Virginia to a large coal company simply because he knows more about the mining law of that state. During the tense negotiations, Mason insults, threatens and lectures the president of the company but is careful not to overplay his hand. The final resolution is fair to both parties.
