He produced a pretended copy of forged
contract, with my name to it, to do all this,
and swore that the original had, as he had
| been informed, been burned by me His
testimony was filled with brazen and audacious
! falsehoods, endeavoring to sustain hisper jured
assertions in relation to this forged agree
nent. In my testimony | produced, i'll his
| own handwriting, notes. agreements and
memoranda of settlements which of them
selves alone clearly proved that | was never
his debtor and that he had always been in
debt to me Them as additional proof of his
perjury, a deposition of his, which was taken
just before he ran away, is i'll existence, in
which he swears positively himself that he
always owed me, was always borrowing money
| from me, that | had rendered him large
financial assistance, and that he was com
PEELED by me to sell his seat in the Board of
Brokers to raise money to pay part OF his
indebtedness to me- Then | testified that |
never heard of any contract by which [ was
to pay money to him, until he produced the
copy of his forged document in this examin-
alton. His oath to the existence of such
paper was fiat perjury, and had nothing to
sustain it, while existing documents gave 1t
the lie. Then, when he was away, he wrote
me, begging for So, 900 as a favor, and when
replied to me, never denying what | said, nor
making any such pretense as that | owed him
any money.
