day forward to the present time to do the
same. About, should say, one and half to
two years after the commencement of these
payments l reduced the amount to $6 900
per annum. The reason of this reduction
was partly because of the combined COM
plants on the part of Evans and his partner,
and partly, so far as l now remember, in
consequence of an article in the newspapers
about that time rejecting on the injustice
done to soldiers at this fort, caused by eXor-
bitant charges, made necessary on the part
of the traders by reason of the payment of
this bonus.
To the best of my knowledge and belief,
the above is true statement of all the facts
in the case, and as complete as l can remem-
ber the occurrences of SO many years ago.
Being further questioned by members of
the committee, Mr.. Marsh made these addi-
tional statements:
The money was sent according to instruc-
tions of the Secretary of War; sometimes in
bank notes by the Adams Express; think on
one or more occasions by certificate Of de-
posit on the National Bank of America in
New York. Sometimes 1 have paid him in
New York, in person. The first pay
ment to me by Evans was made in the fall
of 1870, at the rate of $12, 900 a year.

and half or two years, and since
then at the rate of $4,000 a year. 1t
would aggregate about $4,000, oue-half of

Witness further stated, that upon receipt
Of the subpoena to appear before the Con-
gressional Committee, he came on to WASH

residence of Secretary Bclknap; that he
there had conversation with the Secretary
