twenty years ago, when on duty In New Orleans

States. Capt Swasey, TO whom the receipt was
given, settled his accounts and turned over his
vouchers, including this paper, IN 1857. After all
these years Il discovered that there Is no record
at Washington Of the payment OF this sum TO the
government ON these facts the jury In the Unit

structure Of improbable assumptions the tury rest

whose character Is without a blemish The CON
