me he had some Western Union stock and Rock Island stock and some bank stock and told me about his Toledo busi- ness and about the farm out there and that he had lost some money out there and he and Mrs Bronson talked about his Topeka, Kansas, business and either he told me, or Mrs Bronson in his pres ence, that he had stock in two banks out there He told me he had invested a good deal of money in St Paul and ask ed me what I thought about St Paul. When was advising him about making his will, he said that he would not trust a Newtown lawyer to make it. He was always afraid some one would ssdo him out of his money" He was quite exer- cised about the Street business; having the Street repaired here. He abused everybody in connection with the move ment on the other side. He abused Mir WillSins-No, I am mistaken about Mir Wilkins. He abused Al. Blackman and Sam Glover and those fellows. He was
 unreasonable in argument. He always
 thought that he was pretty nearly right.
 My calls on Elon in 1886 were mostly
 social calls. As rule, I would come
 up from New York, Saturday and stay
 over Sunday and almost always, Sunday
 morning, would go down to see him as
 early as o'clock. I was here several times in 1886 and 1887. From 1885 tc
 the time of his death, wrote on an aver age two letters year to him. I saw . Elon in 1888; I saw him first down a John E. Peck's. It was rather more ; social call than anything else. In 1889, was at Mrs Bronson's twice in June anC in September. My call in June was social call ;,,in September, it was business was there twice in March, 1890, on Sat U urday and then again on Sunday.

Iknew Elon Booth. Met him occasion ally and we passed the time of day, usu- ally. Remember meeting him at Cyrus B. Sherman's in 1888. It was in planting time. He was doing some clustering at the house. He told me then about Mrs Bronson's help to him. He said, Mary has done for me what no one else would do. She would leave her own work any time to do business for me. She is a wonderful, good, smart business wo- man." told him that it was very nice if he appreciated Mrs Bronson's kindness. Do not remember any particular conver- sation about anything else, but that re- membered, because he seemed to appre- ciate it so at the time he was talking about it. I repeated it afterward, very foolishly, to my sister. Told her, after Elon died, mot to say anything about what had told her, not to say word about it to any one, for fear l might be called upon but it got out in some way. If
 had kept it to myself, l should not have been here to-day. Elon said to me tha Mrs Bronson had been as kind to him a an own sister could be.

Knew Elon Booth all my life. Used to have business with him from 1862 to 1882. My father before me did Elon's business and l succeeded my father. He also did great deal of work for me and boarded at my house when he worked for me, generally Elon was not man of great business ability. He relied in great measure upon the judgment of some one else. Corresponded for him for the most part and. when I wrote letters, he signed his name to them. l do not recall his writing letters. He was an irritable man, jealous and fearful that some one was going to get the best of him. He gradu- ally failed, the last few years of his life was very lame and said he had spells when he could not recollect anything for an hour or two. saw him last in March, 1890, just before his last sickness. He sent for me. From 1862 to 1882 did all the business for him that he asked me to do. In regard to the Gregory & Ballou case, helped him some, at his request
 
 visit with his attorney that l went to see him, the Wednesday before his death, l think it was.He was very sick and l only spoke to him and telegraphed his attor- ney not to come to do any business with him until the following day. Mrs Bron- son was in the room caring for him .Elon said to me, II have made will, but l am not satisfied with it. I want to give Mrs Bronson something. am going to make a codicil and give Mrs Bronson $5OOO. She has been very kind to me and given me good home and l want to repay her for it.'' This was in March.
 l had been to Bridgeport to see his attor- ney, Tweedy, about the Gregory x Bal lou case and it was next day after when I went to tell Elon the result of the con- ference that he told me about his will and what he wanted to do for Mrs Bron- son. In reply to Lawyer O'Hara's ques- tion, as to how much he thought it was worth year to do Elon's business for him, Mir Glover said that it was not worth so much to do it as trustee as il would be to do it for him while he was living and have him chasing after yor and fretting and fault finding about what was done. He would not have tho care of it for any less than $200O a veal and he wouldn't want to do it for that
