As to the discharging Of Silas, defend
ant said he had talked with RIB.
Lloyd, Esq, who told him In q general
way about Silas and his doings. He had
taken Silas away from his house and pat

called up.
Harris knows David Coolies; met him
on Kyscr's ranch in Vernon: does not
know the date; met him in front of the
house soon after this suit was com

he offered Louise $40 for base purpose.

succeed with her. His conversation

this previous examination, he could not
remember the date Of, probably about
two years ago; thinks 1t was in the
Spring time; remembers no more about
it. He told Coolies in spite of the fact

one else could succeed with Louise
