posed to the managers Of the New Park Theatre some
time ago to supply for opera company and
bring II out at that house in The Grand Duchess" He
assured Messrs. Murha and Avery that he had money

that he and his associate simply took Of them

81 200 and this amounted to 5000 This money the
managers refused 10 over TO Mr. Godchaud OnTue
