Sacramento in relation to the allie
cations against him contained in
the complaint of the c. ?. road l..
filed yesterday, in the Third Dis
trict Court. In reply to questions,
Cohen stated that he had no idea
upon what transaction the company
based their complaint. He had
handled none of their money for
many years; had represented them
in no transaction involving expen-
diture of money since 1869, except
some minor collections and pay
ments; ssid it was the tactics of the
