terview | had had with Mrs. Stark.
Passing her plantation one day |
: wished to consult Col. Stark about
the suit and called for that purpose.
The Colonel was about the place
somewhere, and while a servant
: was looking for him Mrs. Stark sat
with me in the parlor. In the
course of our conversation the J. &
G.. suit was mentioned, and she ask
ed me what l thought were the
prospects of success. l told her |
was not at all confident, but hoped
for the best. In a few minutes
Col. Stark entered and Mrs. Stark
retired. Meeting with Mr.. Thorpe
a day or two after seeing you he
began to converse with me about
the case. He said that Mrs. Stark
denied that she had ever employed
me to represent her. l answered
that although I regarded myself as
her attorney and did represent her,
yet it was a fact that she had not in
person employed me, that the con-
tract had been made with Col.
Stark, representing himself as her
agent, and that all my consultations
had been with him. I then told
him of the casual interview men,
toned above and stated that that
was the only conversation had ev-
er had with Mrs. Stark about the
case previous to the compromise.
As already stated this casual con-
versation had entirely escaped my
memory. 1t did not occur to me
during our brief conversation nor
until | had afterwards thought over
the whole matter, and directed my
attention particularly to the circum-
stances. | did not tell Mr.. Thorpe
that had ever had other than that
single interview with her. Had l
supposed that it was of any impor-
lance, and would ever come up
again, l would have written to you
and told you of it. l did tell Col. |
Stark about it here. I am satisfied
that Mrs. Stark had forgotten the
circumstance, as l had until after
our interview on the prairie.
AS to letters between Mrs. Stark
and me, previous to the time of the
compromise, none ever passed, nor
have | ever so stated. I received
but one letter which was a part of
the compromise proceeding; pre-
vious to that had no letter from
her. l ain satisfied Mr.. Thorpe
would not make a willful misstate-
ment, and the error he committed in
saying l told him l had received
numerous personal Letters from Mrs.
Stark in regard to the johnson 4

langnage) must have been mis-
con ;eption and misunderstanding
on his part, for did not make such
a statement.
The case had been fixed for trial,
and, on the day previous to that
fixed, Mrs. Randolph came to
Marksville for the purpose of try
ing to compromise the case. At
her request | went to the hotel and
asked Mr.. johnson to go to my Office
to meet Mrs. Randolph, which he
did, returning with me. Mrs. R.
and he discussed their matters at
some length in my presence. He
offered to take $4,000 but no agree
ment was reached and she went
home. The next morning early
Col. Stark returned and brought
me letter requesting me to say to
Mr.. johnson that his offer of the
day before would be accepted. My
impression is that the letter was
signed by Mrs. Randolph and Mrs.
Stark. | would hesitate to swear
that Mrs. S. signed it, for it has
