All The money paid to the Off -crs of the Constitu-
ton. under dat Of 3lst March, 1928, were, to the best
oil ms belief, paid out OF the money left by Mr.. Tim
beriake. He does not recollect the reasons, why a
number oil the entries, dated on the 3lst of March,
have been erased and altered. He did not nav out
any oil the money, after it was received by Mr.. Ran
dolph; it was paid by The latter, and he made the en-
charged, was paid out of TimberIake's money; the
men were all paid by Mr.. Randolph himself. He
thinks these payments were made 10 the officers, the
day after Timberlake was buried; the men were paid
of also on one day, but some time afterwards. He
does not know whether the whole Of the money was
counted at the same time; he was not present, except
when the $3.50 were counted.
The discharge rof! produced, he found in the officers
book, also now produced; he had no idea that il was
there, until he took il out of his trunk. All the paw
inen's made on Timberlake's general receipt roll, on
the 3lst of March, 1928, were made out Of this money
The books and papers of Mr.. Timberlake, to which
access is necessary, are. the final receipt roll, the OIL
GERS receiptbook, Offla's bill, and perhaps others.
