if he would get back before the 10th,
of the month, because they always
got paid off at the mines on the 10th
of every month. Before the train
started "Jim" came to Wilde and
asked him if he had the newspaper
of November 2, containing the affi-.

said he would get it and left the car,
returning in one or two minutes with
the paper, which he handed to Lind
say. The train then left, and during
the evening Lindsay spent most OF
the time in the smoking apartment
reading the paper, while Wilde dozed
in his seat. During the entire trip
they had little or no conversation,
save in relation to many working
mines, wages. &C., in which subject
Wilde was interested. There was no
conversation whatever in regard to
the Morey letter except once, when
Lindsay asked whether he could see
the Morey letter in New York.
Wilde answered that he thought he
could, as he believed it was at the
office of the newspaper referred to.
Wilde states most positively that
from the time he first met Lindsay
until now there was no suggestion
from him as to what he should swear
to, and that ne made no inquiry of
Lindsay as to what he knew about the
Morey letter or what he would swear
to. Wilde fully believed that the
man was Lindsay, and that he was
the man who made the affidavit
published in Truth and other papers.
He further states that he took ne il
terest in politics this fall, neither vot-
ing nor registering, and that he knew
little or nothing about the facts of
the case, and cared nothing further
than to do service to his friend.
On their arrival in New York Wilde
took Lindsay to the Office of Truth
and left him with Mr.. Hart, since
which time he has held no intercourse
or conversation with him whatever.
