The receipts were signed, " II. Bruner, by lIogc,'

believe that | have had one or two converse
tons with the accused in regard 10 the conspiracy
question. One Of them was at the Louisville
Hotel. 1t seems that the accused had received
letters from parties in Nashville demanding a
certain sum Of money or else they would expose
him. He showed me the letter and asked me if |
knew who wrote Il. told him that did know
positively.
The conversation alluded TO occurred since
left Nashville. On the question being asked If
the conversation alluded to the conspiracy.
objection was made by the counsel for the de-
Tense. The objection was sustained by the Court
/ saw the corral receiving book for the FIRST
time after leaving Nashville in Capt. Otis Office
on the 30th ult / examined it on that occasion.
There was balance due me from Mr. Hender-
son for receipts given him in July, before went
home Of some 5000; this together with the half
Of the receipt Of IS mules amounted to $1,000
which up to that time had not been paid.
Cross-eXamnatiOn-I went home about the 18th
or 10Th ofJuly, and returned August the 4th, 1864
gave no receipts on the llth Of August, did
not give any fraudulent receipts on that day for
lG2 mules valued at $2i.3OO.
Mr.. |. Henderson might lave put in some mules
on tim 9Th Of August, and the receipt not given
until the day after, such things often occurred.
The corral book that hold in my hand shows
how many mules were received each succeeding
day. also shows the false receipts given. This re-
ceipt for mules for the 9Th Of August is fraudulent
The Court then adjourned till to-day at $50
