is already, nor do | intend paying auy
money until the job is completed" Green
then told Parks that he would like him to
place the money where he could get it when
the house was moved and Parks told him
that he was responsible for his contracts.
GREEN sKEPTICAL.
Green seemed to doubt this, and Parks, to
prove to him that he was of questionable in
tegrity, cited an instance where he had
blazed his timber and cut some without
having paid for it. Green denounced this
as being false, and then it was that Parks
snatched the gun and attempted to knock
him down. Parks emphatieally denies hav-
ing cooked the gun or tried to shoot him,
and says the gun was unloaded and already
nearly to pieces. He also declares that
