5ai ihGt BArnan hsi gone O. EsruEse and

Hull got q letter from CsnaHt, changing
hin with beiug 10 discreet, for hunter
had tuli him tConan,J that the tall man
,Hu.ll had said he wouldn't be surprised
If tney found a peirltied man there some
day. Hull denied this. tried 70 reach
4 settlement with Hull. To make the
sale to Bsrnum he had been obliged to
conceal from Baruum my knowledge aud
interest. l could make no arrangement
with Hull, getting only promises, and !
told him would have my pay or wash
nv hands of tie whole business, and
when he got ready to bring the giant to
the surface he would need to keep an eye
on ME.
II subsequently got letters from Hull
and Conant urging that matters be hushed
up till he could see and settle with me.
Here are the letters-the originals. l
was not disposed to take any more prom.
ises, and SO telegraphed to Hull if he at
tempted to move the giant l would ex-
pose the affair. He returned post haste,
arriving in Hornellsville Sept. 4. met
him on the street, but should not have
known him if he had not spoken to me;
he was cleverly disguised. refused to
have anything TO do with him, and sent
him to my attorney. Before the latter
he braniished revolver and threatened
to shoot me, and then offered to eettle Ivy
giving me one twenty-sixth part of his
interest. He drew up a contract to that
effect, and then returned Immediately to
Colorado.
"When Hill reached Pueblo, he found
that Conant, who, as he expressed it, had
been 'fooling with the giant had broken
off the head and one leg. Hull was en-
ragged, and quarrel ensn eeddaod H .nS e.
discovery was made according to the
plan. Barnum appeared ON the ground,
and offered 100000 for the find, which
NOuuut ItIustu Will SCOTus uo p6Oplc
began t. laugh at Barnum, and he offered
a reward of $4,000 to any man who
would prove the giant was made by chisel.
OF course he had them there. Then came
the test. Hull told me that Barnum paid
Prof. Taylor 500 and his expenses to go
out and bore into the giant. Hull had
lent an attentive ear to the talk of scien-
tiic. men, and was astonished to learn
that kind Of crystal ought to be found
on boring into the arm of a pct,ificd
giant. Hull obtained crystal to CORES
pond, and by sleight Of hand exchanged
it for the dust of the boring implement
which was first hanoed to him ny Prof.
Taylor"
Mr.. Cox said, in concluding his story:
when the giant arrived at Quincy, ILL.,,
Barnum, who was then in Washington,
ordered it to be brought to New York,
and its subsequent history is known.
