Gov. Smiths examination was resumed
Cannot produce all the books of the
Montreal and Vermont Junction railroad,
because some are in Canada in the hands of
the treasurer and are under control of the
directors; the books are not made up, but
can send for them though they will not
enlighten you any the treasurer is also
clerk and has the book of records; We have
not paid any dividend to the Canada
stockholders. Judge W. c. Brown was
attorney for Ogdensburg road previous
to the lease; was paid S25, 900 after the
lease was executed; paid it after consulta-
ton with some of my associates and the
lower roads as a retaining fee and for past
services; think we have paid as high as
$500 or 81 900 as retaining fee; the S25,.
600 was given Brown for past services, and
his services were to continue during the
term of the lease without additional COM
pensation; he was great assistance in a
suit in New York for an injunction to
prevent our building the draw at Rouses
Point; he worked hard and succeeded in
having injunction dissolved there was an
attempt made to have our charter to build
the draw repealed, and Mr.. Brown went to

Am clerk under Mr. Forbes; the first en-
try on this ledger bears date June, 1872
the entries were made ly eunder the lii
rection of Mr. Forbes; We get the material
from which to make these entries chiefly
from Mr. Wilhurs books; have not looked
for bills against J G Smith for shop stock,
except for the previous year. and those Mr.
Forbes may be able to find, do not know
where he placed them; the original bills
may be lost hut copies can be made from
the books of the shops

recalled. Before and up to time became a
trustee and manager, was interested in the
ST. Adams Foundry Company; was an
equal partner; have never drawn my
money wholly from it, because we never had
time to make a settlement; they have
large account against me, probably more
than enough to balance my claim: ! am a
partner now in the real estate: sold out my
interest to my brother when entered upon
the trust; that contract was in writing,
and | will produce it. Governor Smith
here read a formal transfer of all his right,
title and interest in and to the st. Adams
Foundry Company to W. c. Smith; still
own part of the real estate on which the
foundry stands. My cO-lessees in Sullivan
railroad were l.. Brainerd and Joseph Clark.
The Governor here entered into a minute
explanation of the reasons which compelled
q lease Of the Sullivan road by an interest
favorable to the Vermont Central since
expiration of the lease it stands nominally
in my name; have no written lease for bene-
fit of my associates ; Mr. Barnes came into
the trust late, and we have had no opsor-
tunity for talk with him about it have no
written agreement with W C Smith about
it. On the whole, the lease has been profit
able to us; have never paid b p Cheney
anything myself for his share: have sent
him statement Of the proportions whether
he has drawn his share or not. do not
know; have no idea what the average
has been; the first few years there was no

had been trustee and manager for about
IA years; had nothing to do with the en-
ployment Of counsel; may have been advised
with about it at sometime understood there
was a fund called Secret Service Fund
Brainerd, Smith and | talked it OYER; the
object was not to use that fund at Montpe-
lier, or for counsel, but to pay detectives,
ETC.; do not know that counsel was paid
from that; did not know that W C Smith
had a royalty on wheels and castings; do
not know now that he has.
Cross-eramined By Mr. Fifeld-It is mat
of no consequence to this management
whether W. Z. Smith has royalty on
wheels and castings, or not we have moth
ing to do with his business.
