men have received the S12 that were kept back,
and also hold drill valued at 50 or $3.50 that
was given to one of them in part payment. I do
not know Mr.. Fuller and would not, Intentionally,
do or say anything calculated to injure him in his
business, but have good authority for all say,

interview with Mr.. John S. Biddison or Mr.. Thos.
G.. Carter, perhaps they can tell him more than 1
have stated here and convince him that he has
not acted altogether con the square,"
