from parties Just across the Long Bridge, with
in the Federal lines. / know Mr.. Curry who
lived IN the Federal lines, bought goods and
bad them marked in that way, and thought
II was the same with them.

added, But if there is any money to be made

not think in that con nversation he told me about
having seen the fight up in the Valley. Did
not hear him speak of having seen the flash OF
the guns from where he was II he said anv
thing about the fight to me, it has escaped NV
memory. This conversation took place between
oeiendahts store and the FranKlin House,
which is opposite. Worsley said he had sold
hVe boxes OF the games at IS box, and that
was more than the amount he was to pay me for
the dozen games supposed he sold them to
the soldiers, but l did not know think 81
took him about ten DAYS to make mis- trim That
was what he said. i knew of his bringing back
Iooacco 1or the goods, on one occasion. When
L went around TO steam bakery with him he
showed me some tooacco which be said ne had
bronght down. That was on his last trip that
L saw him. do not know how many pounds
there was in box, further than there was as
mucn as could lift in each box. Does not
think there was 100 Of these boxes. Didn't hear
nlm say there were eight tons. There were
about fifteen or twenty boxes opened in pres
ence OF witness. Worsley did not say any
thing about Culpeper TO me.
