ward moved another house to 1t OF
| four rooms, making eight rooms ia all
Budd Sweeney came there first about
two weeks before he came here. Louise

Campbell at my house at Fulton Wells;
he never was there but once; he had q
lady with him; my wife and daughter
were present. be said at that time he

the Cotton House.
REORGANIZATION.
Said here before my memory was bad
on dates. Campbell was at my house
six weeks or two months ago; have
heard this matter spoken Of by the
lawyers and others, Mr.. Barron's folks
were there next day; Campbell came
there in the early part of the day; he
STAYED there about three hours; l was
Just going out, but when l met him
STAYED there all the time he was there;
I neglected my work and remained there
because do not like the looks Of the
man. / thought he was there on some
dirty business and stayed; the looks Of
the man was enough; no whisky bloat
can como around my house in these
times and not watch him; we were all
watching him; he brought lady callel
Mrs. Olivas; she seemed all right; my
wife has better memory than ! have;
| II she says the house IN Venture has six
rooms she is more likely to be right than
I; know Sweeneys father; ! think he
was not there when we came away Budd
used to 90 there visiting his cousini !
did not see him until about two
| weeks before We left; he came
to ask il he could help us to
move. that he would help US for
his grub. l do not think Budd could be
there before and not see him. was
not at his cousins. He might have been
there but do not think it likely. The
first time no went with Louise they
went to church. Did not see it.
Louise said 90.
The plaintiffs lawyers hafl been look
ing for Mrs. M. A. Thomas who had
been subponaed here and failed to put
