Did you ever have any relations with
a policeman named Robert HigHinbot-
tom?" asked Mr.. Con-.
II don't know whether that was his
name. but ! know l had some dealings
with a policeman"
Mr.. Carpenter went on to say that
while he was blasting at FOrdham, two
years ago, he had some very rough men
to deal with. He sent for the fremont
police one day, when disturbance was
threatened among the men, and an OIL
Ger came up and remained during the
day.
MY brother offered him a $40 bill but
he wouldn't take 1t, saying that when
ever we wanted protection he would do
all he could for us.
Not long after that another officer
came to see us at the mine. and asked
u we were doing anything for the police.
We said we did not know that 1t was
necessary, and he replied 1t was GUS
tumary.
Il talked the matter over with my
brother, and the result was put $40
In an envelope and gave II to the book
keeper to give to the officer when he
called"
What did you give $40 for?"
"Well, we had to deal with a good
many tough characters. and we wanted
police protection

afterwards If you would do the right
thing"
&" Yes | recollect now, did swear to
| something like that" said Mr.. Carpen-
ter, after considerable hesitation.
The witness said he understood the ex-
preston right thing" to mean that
the officer wanted money.

thing"

Meant Capt. Stephenson. He Says.
