 count stood. Don't know that the officers
 at the bank in Topeka, Kansas, telegraph
 ed to Elon at NJ. c. Hawley's address in
 New York, inquiring about it. This
 trouble aboqt this stock arose about Ju-
 ly 24, 1SSS.It was very soon after August,
 1888, that the account was taken from
 the Union Trust Co. He did it at my
 advice. Had him in my carriage taking
 him home from the store and he and l
 had been talking together and he knew
 just how much the balance of his money
 was. Told him I was going to draw his
 account from the Union Trust Go. and
 put it into the Newtown savings bank.
 Felt little vexed at the Union Trust
 Co. and he did just as suggested to him.
 Don't know whether he had the most inn plicit confidence in me. He did tell me at that time, riding home, Burt, if there is anybody in the world that can trust, it is you" Did not cry on our way to Mrs Bronson's. Elon took his securities away from me in the last of September, 1889. They were all taken at once, ex- cept one that was taken some time in 1888. From August l, 1888, to October l, 1889, Elon kept his own accounts. From August 1, 1888, to the time of his death, l did not keep full account of his re- nRintQ flor 1SgQ I aCl- to let some one else do his eorrespon- dence; I had so much business. In this carriage ride with him, when I was talk ing him home one day, l said to him, "Let your mail go to Mrs Bronson's and any letters she can answer just as well as not, let her do the writing. If you want to consult with me, send for me or come and see me. I have business to att tend to, all I ought to have" No one else was present, we were in a carriage by ourselves. He never told me, about August l, 1888, that, if he couldn't put his receipts and income in the Union Trust Go. and have them safe, he was going to take them out of there and place them where he could control them him. self. MT Stahl offered me commission on but told him I did not want it. I wanted to make good in vestments for Elon Booth. I did receive a small check once from MT Stahl for commissions, got it cashed and took the money. My impression is that Nettleton paid me commission, at one time, but I never got any from James Turney or any one else. Talked with c. H. Northrop about the Gregory-Ballou suit previous tn n~oo.>,l,o~. 1oen un,ra id him for all the work he has done for me- After Elon was sued, went to New | ork three times, consulted attorneys and paid them S5 each Had similar suit brought against me, but did not go to. consult them about mine. Do not think mine was mentioned. Consulted Brewster, Tweedy & Scott two or three times about it. Did not pay them. He sent for me in his last sickness and I made arrange ments for his care. My care of him in 1890 was the last week of his life. Spent the last night he lived with him. That is included in my bill. He died on Sunday. Made arrangements for his funeral and saw to providing pail bear CTS. That is included in my bill. AL ways expected I would get my pay for caring for him. If not while he lived, 1 would out of his estate. Never expected to be legatee under the will, because | never believed he would make a will. He did make will and am legatee under it, if carry out certain conditions. In 1871, opened a store account with Elon. It commenced June 7. The first balance was struck January l, 1872. It was debtor and credit account and the bal ance was in my favor and was paid. Sep tember z, 1872, another charge. In De- tober, 1872, the balance was struck, was in my favor and was paid. February 6, 1874, another account was opened. The balance was struck February, 1875, and was in my favor. July z, 1875, balance was again struck and in my favor. These charges were all of the same general character; store account. After 1875, no balance was struck until June Is, 1878 when there was debit charge for mer- chandise and credit for work. The bal ance was in my favor. June, 1879, bal ance was again struck and it was in Elon's favor for work. August, 1880, it was again struck; was a store account, was in my favor and he paid it. Febru- ary 14, 1881, balance again struck. The debit was store account; the credit was for work done on the Academy building for the association. It was i'll Elon's fa- vor.
