statement rea6s that way. l think Mr.
: Pierson did not mean it as 1T read. Ii,
goes on to tell you where the flour caine
from, and what it cost. l said in my
letter that / thought it cost 81, (and SC
I was told,) but further said, ,.sI.et i
have cost what it will, the principle is all
; the sane,' &c The amount of money
: paid by Mr.. p. is just what / stated il
was any one doubling it may examine
the books and see for themselves. s 81
i The next statement is from gentle
man that don't know, and never made
any charges against; but his name is Of

on the County Treasurer, -, Sc .a-,,
/ The next, Mr.. Daniel Conger's state
ment: He says he believes my charges
in regard to, the wood are all false, ex,
Ecepting one load, &C. Now he, like Mr..
/ Fisher, has acknowledged to the hauling
of woodby Fisher. excepting one load,
| and that load he got himself. Now how
would Daniel Conger, know, any sooner
than any one else living here, how much
wood Mr. +. hauled to town2 nselssst 5

Now for the last but not least in err
rors, sworn statement, Mr. VIM Reads !:
He says he ssthinks the last outstanding
order he had issued was returned to. the
Auditor just two months after he had
issued it, and that there then was bal
ahcc in the Treasury, of InGrmary
Fund, to the amount of $1,000. I gave
you the amounts in the Treasury in I for,
mer letters. but in order to show you the
great error Mr.. r, is in, will have to
give You some Of thefgutcs again. On
the lstday of September, 1859 the bal.
ance in the Treasury was just 1888 on
that. day Mr.. 4. issued orders on the
Treasury to the amount Of $206 Y39;and
on the 1st day Of October (the last day
Mr.. r. was in office) they issued orders
to the amount of $245 Is; soyoi see
the orders issued between the 1st day of
September, 1899 when Che balance was
SS5S) and at the time lie, Mr.. R., went
out Of Office amounted; to. S451 ,55,, Now.
take the outstanding orders on Sept. l,
1869, as it was just before that time, ]
think that the Treasurer was not tapaylng
any orders, .and say nothing Of about
$3.50 outstanding accounts against the
Infrmary, so you see If all the 6blfga-
tions against the Infrmary had been;
presented and paid on the 1st day of Oc-
tober, 1869. when Mr.. r. went out OF,
office, there would have been little Or
nothing left.
The last outstanding order he. had is :
sued being returned to the Auditor too
months after he went out of office" does
not prove that there were none outstand-
| ing when he Mr.. R. went out of office.
He also says, in his sworn statement, that
