yersauon with Carngan. Witness had written
before to Mr.. kirawood In relation to a
soap, which he thought was specially adapted
to salt water use, and Kirkwood wrote
Dack telling him to send sample. and he did So
Afterwards he came here, and Kirkwood referred
MIN to Carr1gan, who said thai, while il was good
soap, 1t would be hard TO convince the officers OF

soaps, and the matter dropped. Car
rigan asked him as to taking some other
business, and said he had some goods he wished 10
oner TO the government through some other party,
for he was clerk Witness was assured that the
transaction was straight, and he agreed TO act in
his place. Carrigan the next day handed him a
bill, saying that lie wished him TO take the bill to
the paymaster. and he would go with him TO the
once and identify him. Witness took the voucher
to the paymaster and got the money Carr1gan
told him that he had delivered the goods, and he
would give him q letter OF Introduction. The bill
was 10 the name OF Boyce Manufacturing Co., and
Carrigan told him to sign "B. Mann. president

who gave him 10 per cent OF the amount and $50

ers. and TESTIFIED that the same course was
pursued as In the other cases. Carrigan assured
him OF the correctness OF the vouchers and showed
him the signature OF DR.. Wales. Kirkwood had
nothing TO do with the business nor never identf-
fed him.
