known Parker since 1866 or 81. Wit
ness stated that his feelings had ulwav.
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 Lave said so. He saiG that Par
ker had got lain into the Treasurcr's Of
hcc; then into situation on the Wash
lnSton Lh,r"ici", in Washington, d. c.,
OF which Parker Was then n part owner,
ut salary of $50 per week. Witness

would advance and use his own name.
he (Pnrkcr) woUld assist him and

upon this, witness had, within two
months from opening the store, four
times as much stock rs the original capi-
tai. and had to stave off notes falling due
as best he conld-Parker giving him no
! assistance. Did not get from Parker
more than SiOO after the business started.
Witness failed because he relied on Par

his failure, because he knew Parkc:r's

the time OF Parkers arrest, witness had
! never spoken harsLly Of him to any one.
! Had never told any one that there vas

lnJure him. Witness explained that on
