The inquest was resumed this q. N.
Thos. s. storms, agent Of the Essex Co., tes-
ti0ed us to Il e sale fthe lana and water power
| at nominal rate to Mr.. Putnam, us the a-eut
of Jol,u 4. Lowell. The contracts was that ttc
Essex Co. should. il required, erect for the ruf,
| chlsers Of The mill building Of such size anti
plan as should be required, and give the pur-
eiasera five years credit for the buildings. 1t
was not supposed that the building would be
hslf as large US now. The difference to 1he Es-
sex Co. has only been the advance Of q larger
sum to build the building. Witness had never
heard intiniations that the building was unsafe.
The main pillars were furnished By Nr. John
