tence OF death three months OF that time never had
any acquaintance with Moser. but remember going to
the once OF Mosers counsel 10 make adavit: the
AFFIDAVIT was already drawn; | intended that am
davlt to be true, but now ! am In doubt as to the
identity OF Jackson though the statement OF the
versation Is correct; have since made another am
davlt paper shown; this is my signature TO this
paper, but did not think had sworn 70 it, as only
Intended to swear 70 my doubt OF the identity OF Mr.
jackson In the conversation and not that such
Rf1davit met Britton and Madison and they told
me what they had done, and said had better do the
same or would get into scrape they told me that
