A LENGTHY DEFENSE
written by a lawyer who INDUCES in the
most specious of pleadings to account for
the discrepancy in Orchards $4,000
monay return in 1873. IT is averred that
there is a mistake in the recorders books.
There is no mistake He had that
amount of money according to his sworn
statement. 1t fell to his nephew and he
swears he did not have it. The Republ-
can paper saws the mistake was probably
made in transcrlbing. In the number of

not worth more than 81 900.
4. That Hayes never paid anything
personally toward the Fort Stevenson
purchase, and therefore could not have
used up Orchards $4,000 cash for that
purpose.
3. That Hayes had about Sll 900 in
known credit. in mortgages in 1874. 1875
and 1876. and yet swears that ne did not
