General Anderson was at the capitol
and was also in consultation with some OF
the Alexandria-county officials.
one reason why il seems unlikely that

Grady because when the notice was
served on him, H. secured at once Inc

Koonce did not. and long after the time
had elapsed. he applied TO the Court Tor

this he was mistaken. He now puts In
claim. in which it appears that Mr. lsler'
Of Goldsboro'. was one of his attorneys,
and that he was to pay him $500 for his
services.
The committee may possibly allow some
thing, but it is not well for the men who
