him if he is prepared to attend to such
business. Say you have heard he was.
Say you have some 10 be funded-do
not say for whom. You must not say

to take advantage of it, or would not
OF course You understand me- You must
not keep this letter, but destroy it,"
The remainder of the letter was of T.
private nature. The witness, on the
cross-cNaniination, stated that he had
known Parker since 1866 or CT. Wit
ness stated that his feelings had always
been kindly towards Parker, and that if
he had ever said that Parker could not
have treated him better had he been his
father, the remark would have been lust
and true, though he did not remember
ever to have said so. He said that Par
ker had got him into the Treasurcrs Of
lcc; then into q situation on the Wash
ington Chronicle, in Washington, D. c.,
OF which Parker was then part owner,
Mt salary of $50 per week Witness
borrowed of Parker $500, which Parker
said he could pay back when he was able
and WAS asked for it. Parker advanced
money to witness in 1874 for the pur-
Witness failed; did not pny any of his
creditors in full; settled with the largest
creditor twenty minutes before Sheriff
closed his store und:r IN execution: did
not run Oft any of his goods; gave Rose
some whlskcy on account of Els board
and Parker good many goods in pay
mcnt OF money due him; Parker got
most OF the goods taken from the store.
Witness did not represent himself to
I1azlett ~ Co. as partner of Parker.
io claimed the right to explain about
his failure, Which was granted. He said
Parker had represented to him that if he
would begin business on capital Parker
would advance and use his own name,
hc parker) would assist him and
come into the business also. Relying
upon this, witness had, within two
months from opening the store, four
times us much stock us the original capi-
tai, and had to stave off notes falling due
rs best he could-Parkcr giving him no
assistance. Did not get from Parker
more than S400 after the business started.
Witness failed because he relied on Par
ker's assistance. No blnme to Parker for
his failure, because he knew Parker's
embarrassed financial condition. Up to
the time OF Parkers arrest, witness had
never spoken harshly Of him to any one.
Had never told my one that there was
nothing in this case that could injure
Parker; on the contrary, he had told DR..
Neagle and Mr.. j. G. Thompson that
there was, although he had no desire to
lnJure him. Witness explained that on
the day before, he had been sent for by
Puffcr; took q drink with Puffer; then
met Maurice Parker, defendants son;
took drink with him and Puffer; then
went with Puffer alone to his room, in
Parker's Block; then Puffer tried to per
suadc him from testifying against Par
ker; said he thought his testimony un-
necessary, &c. The Court took this as
sufficient excuse for his absence on yes
tcrdny, and ordered the attachment to be
vacated upon payment OF costs thereof
by witness.
