1. ““That she claimed a lesser amount than she might have claimed for the purpose of preventing removal is not in our opinion important. She had the right to sue for this lesser amount.

Wilson v. Republic Iron & Steel Co., 257 U.S. 92 , 42 S.Ct. 35 , 66 L.Ed. 144 . In such cases the assertion of the cause of action against the resident defendant is treated as a sham.”
