| of "Haskell's crew" in her house she final
ly consented to take myself aud family
on condition that was responsible for the
pay. Mr.. White and myself then started
out to find stopping places tor himself
and the other three men. We at length
succeeded in getting board and lodging
promised anti after breakfast the next
morning,-Mrs Logan, wife of Col Thorn
as Logan, taking two, and Mrs, Balm, wife
of Dr. Balm, taking the others. These ladies
very generously kept these men for week
until Mrs. Haskell's arrival. AS to getting
lumber, there was no lumber yard and, con
sequently, no lumber. We found few
planks at wagon shop, but the owner
would not trust Haskell to ID cent"
The stove man would not trust to
stove, and no grocery men would furnish
supplies on Haskells credit. Everywhere,
with only two exceptions, we found that
the remembrance of the mans former visit
was as " stink in the nose Of the people"
| now began to inquire Of the men with
me the nature Of their engagements with
Haskell. 1t was one and the same story. he
advertised in the Globe Democrat, of St.
Louis, for man having money to fill an
easy position who would receive monthly
wages on contract for definite period OF
time. He had many applicants aud engag-
ed eight men each, one Of whom gave HIM
sums of money in various amounts,--in
every case but one, as am informed, 10
their last dollar The lowest amount being
S15, and varying to $50, $40, $7j, and
$3.50. The last is Thomas Gritiiths, an
entire stranger from the old country.
These men we're each hirci to attend re-
freshment stand, and the money deposited
was as security for the honest performance
of their duty. The amount of money
which he alleged they would take in at the
stand varied with the sums which
he ascertalned they possessed.
Some we're told fonr or five
dollars night, Others more, and the $3.50
man was told $400 to $500 a week. He
made his contracts with all but Mr.. White
for six months, and in such way that they
can not demand the return Of their money
before that time. Mr. Whites money and
wages were both due before the 10Th inst,
but ne had not received either. AS Has
kell got a new man and his money, he
transferred the latest bartender to some
other employment employment which
amounts to little else than loatng.
On Haskells arriving at Murphysboro he
was enraged at finding nothing prepared
, for his reception. promptly told him OF
his deception, and in the course of the day
withdrew from all connection with him
That was Saturday, September 4. He
pitched his tent in front of the station
house alongside the track, harangued the
people in vile way the next day, gave
what he calls lecture at night, for admis
sion to which he charged fifteen cents, but
finding that he had neither the hearts and
homes nor purses of the people, or credit in
Murphysboro, he struck his tent before
/, daylight on Monday morning and took the
freight train to Cairo. Notwithstanding
, his written agreement to pay all bills, hi
left me to pay my hotel bill out of my owl
