whether this was in his hand writing.
but did not do 80 because that gentle
man admitted it. Hewitt examined
Gem Schenck who said he did not think
that much explanation was required but
he expressed his satisfaction that these
papers were retained since the first OF
December 1871 before his resignation
which took place on the 9th Of Decsm-
Der, he had not been in communication
with the directors and shareholders of
the Emma Mining Company as such and
had no access to their papers. His
letter Of resignation sent to the COM
pany Was all in his own hand writing,
date, body signature and ali it was bis
own composition, written ct his own sug-
gsstion without anybody's help, in
writing out his signature from original
draft it seemed that he interpolated the
| world. ''Iu conssnting to become Q
director knew that I but exercised .

incompatible with public OF official duty,
but prefer to take away from some who
