B. had been giving him a ride up on the Hanover road and enquired of him about the account at the Union Trust Go. l.. B. cried bitterly over it and Elon felt sorry for him. Elon said he had always accommodated MT Booth and that he thought they accommodated each other. Those were his words, ''They accommo- dated each other.' Between January, 1890 and March, 1890, Elon told me that Burt had been down and asked him to let him use his name. Elon said, II re- fused'' and told him that he had used his name long enough. One day when he had brought down some of his papers from the store, he told me he found among them new certificates of stock that the Central Pacific had issued and he found one that had coupon cut off. He asked Burt Che said) what it meant and Burt told him that he had cut it off to use and had given him credit for it. The last time I saw l.. E. s notes was in February, 1890. He said, "When Burt got into any trouble, he always came to me and helped him out of it, He ncv- CT told me what the $4000, for which he
 held l.. B.'s note, was borrowed for
 Never opened Elon's letters unless he was present and asked me to do it. My
 part of the work was clerical, but saved
 money for him, a good many dollars
 When Elon had his ride on the Hanover
 road with l.. B., he said Burt asked hin
 if he could remember how much the de
 ficiency was at the Uuion Trust Co
 ever put any money there to make up {
 deficiency. Statements came from th'
 Union Trust Co. every six months, bu
 he never saw that statement. He wen to L. B.'s for it, but was told by l.. B that he could not find it and he though
 that it had been mislaid. Afterward, h. did get statement through Marcus c Hawley. Don't think Elon trusted L. .B as implicitly in 1888 as in 1885. Hear' Elon say one day that he had been as father to Burt and that he thought
 great deal of him and, next day, 1 hear
 him damn him. Elon never asked fo his account of Elon in full until the Fal , of 1888. It was then that Elon told hin he wanted his account in full. Elol brought down book with a store aC count that l.. B. held against him. I ez amined the book with Elon. Saw ther was nothing in the bill for stamps, papc or services and Elon said, 'He gets hi ; pay as he goes along. We accommodate each other" I told Elon that l.. B , would certainly get his pay for what h did and the reply was, ''He gets his pa. l as we go along" l never claimed any , where that did all of his business afte |. August, 1888, but 1 did do the greate l part of it. l.. B. Booth did do some, bu } not much Never had any trouble witt l.. B. Booth. He was always very hon
 orable with me and always treated m
 like gentleman, always. Knew of l B. endorsing notes at the savings ban 5 for Elon and have heard Elon say it wa 5 nothing but form anyway. He coul = pick up any common man on the stree . and he would do just as we'll. Never go
 one cent from him for services. He wa
 always stomach sick, the night after h had paid his board bill. l.. B. Boot = came to my house occasionally to SC Elon after 1888, but there was not tha confidence in him that Elon had befor the affair at the Union Trust Go.
