satisfactorily the business transac
tions of life. This is explained in
the fact that Mr.. Cox had given the
matter more thought and attention
perhaps than Mr.. Branscom himself
and being an interested party it was
natural that his researches, shoull
lead to fortification of position up
on any matter connected with his liza
bility as Mr.. Branscom's security
His accounts fairly and impartial, !,
