Der asking Mr.. Mosley to pay ii for me.
Mr.. Mosley came to me yesterday and asked
me whether anybody had spoken to me
about nv receipts. told him that nobody
particularly had asked me about receipts,
but had seen o man who was lnqulring
about receipts. He then said: If they ask
you anything about receipts don't say any,
thing about the money you paid me ;; that
he wonld return the money to me; that he
had found out that no one else had paid
the stall-rent in the new building; that he
ought 10 have returned 1t to me before.
The money he was speaking about was
$40 had paid him for rent of the stall in
the new building when it was first opened.
and for which had repeatedly asked him
for receipt and had been as frequently
told by MIR. Mosley that he had the receipt
in his desk and would give it me; but
never got him to1give il to me. The con-
versation l referred to as taking place yes
terday was in the back-porch of my fish,
house.
Mr.. Mosley, in reference to the above,
said: when got the S5.40 for stall-rent
/ was so busy about my election or
something else that forgot to return it to
MIR. Gentry. | did see him on Sunday. but
/ did not ask him not TO say ANYTHING
about my having the money. l have no
recollection about his having asked me for
the money. have always intended TO pay
it TO him, but forgot it until this inves-
tigation came up, and when was trying to
thiIk over my transactions in the market

memorandum TO ask the committee
whether l should pay it to him or the city,
but l forgot il during the short sessions
they held.
GEORGE ToBIEs.
Mr.. Tobien was reported as delinquent
on stall-rent for January, 1891. His monthly
rental is SIS. Mr.. Tobien said: g" l rent
Stall No. SO. / have been there since the
brick market was built and opened. At
first Catlett used to collect: then 1t was
taken out Of the Clerks hands and we had
to 90 TO the Treasurer's office and pay.
One or two years ago Mr. Mosley said he
would as a favor take the money and pay
the bills. Ever since then he has been
given the money, and he was IN the habit
Of returning the bills the next day. He
would call on the 10th of each month and
would get the money then. That was the
regular custom. Some times when the 10th
fen on Sunday we would pay Monday, L
have never failed TO pay since Mir. Mosley
has been collecting. The January bill was
nary and | am certain l did not give him
the money for that bill few days ago.
But he came TO me some day last week
and said that he knew that had paid the
bill. And he got the unreceipted bill and
soon brought it back receipted. He first
came to me and asked to let him look at
nv receipts. Among them we found two
February bills: one of them he destroyed.
Who it was receipted by do not know.
j. l.; aaotrnu ~ for bn took
INV bills away and did not bring that
bill back, but said he had destroyed it. l
was never notified that | was delinquent
for January at all As / said. ne came q
few days ago."
Mr.. Mosiey, in reference to the above
statement, said: II did pay Tobien's. bill
last week; it was one of those sent down
by NARROW. To tell the truth, thought it
had been paid before. | think there were
two February bills; l do not know whether
one of them was intended for January OF
Mott NAV have been. 1t may have been
receipted, but i do not know. IL 1t had
been receipted it may have been scratched
ont. do not remember much about IT..
1t was of no account"
