to Isham Hederson, and were made out IN
his name. They were signed by me, as iol-
lows: al. Bruner, by HOge" They were

Henderson showed me the letter, and asked
if l knew who had written il; and | told
him l could not state positively who the
writer was. That is the sum Of that con-

Der the particulars.
Mr.. Henderson never made any state
ment TO me about the conspiracy, except
such as we give above. Mr.. II. endorses
the reference made to the conspiracy in the
charges.

required the opinion Of the witnesses. OBJ

the first time after leaving Nashville, at
Capt Otis office, few days since. | ex-
amined it on that occasion.
The reason that Isham Henderson gave
me $4,000 as my share on obtaining the re-
ceipis for 80 mules, is because he owed me
900 on former transactions.
Cross I went home about the
18th or 10th Of July, 1884, and returned
about the 4th of August. gave no receipts
on the 4th Of August. l gave no fraudulent
receipts on that day to Mr.. Henderson, for
100 mules, valued at $24, 300.
l did not sta that there were no mules
put in by Mr.. Isham Henderson, on the 9th
Of August; he might have put in some, and
the receipts might not have been given till
the second day. The book l had in my
hands the corral book shows how many
mules were put in each day and it also
shows the false receipts given. This re-
ceipt Of the 9th Of August, was a false one.
On account of the illness Of the counsel
for the accused, the Court adjourned till ga
