Yesterday in familiarizng himself with the tran
sactions of Baldwin with the morocco firm lie has
in his possession the books In which the cashier
oIlegcs that the accounts with Nugent were kept,
and also the stubs of the checks.
"There has been misunderstanding" Mr.. Keas-
hoy said "in regard to the matter Of the commits
sions received by Baldwin from Nugent. The asser-
tion that Baldwin received a commission of one per
cent applied only to such business paper of Nugent
g. Co az was sold by him in the street, acting as
broker for Nugent 1t had reference whatever to
the transactions in the bank nor to their general
business. Mr.. Baldwin distinctly says that he had
no business interest in the morocco house and
that he desired no benefit from the TRANSACTIONS
with the firm except the commissions, as / have
said ON the paper disposed OF by him. III he Sold Tor

Ex-Judge Ellsworth, Baldwin's counsel, confirmed
| the statement of Mr.. Keasbey regarding the
matter of commissions. and said that Nu-
that he did not get the benefit of the commissions.
| When asked what preparations he was making for
Baldwin's defence, he replied that, as the cashier

was little left for lawyer TO do. He denied the re-
| port that broker had an Office connected with the

| and the broker were somewhat intimate, and the
two were sometime together IN the office of the lat
