MN to Tobin. Immediately after explaining
Inc case he departed, leaving Mr.. Sanders in
company with Mr.. Tobin.
during the conversation that occurred
there Mr. Topin insinuated that Mr. Dockery,
Delng personal friend of his, he could exer

A few days after the original conversation
nm, and, not finding him in. left note here
threatening that if Mr.. Sanders did not call
on MIN that evening at his office and fulfill his
publication.
Mr.. Sanders reputation having heretofore
always been above reproach. and, feeling to
certainty that, so far as he knew, there was no
truth In the matter, he did pay this sum of
money. for he was led by Mr.. fobin to believe
mat Mr.. Dockery was prosecutor rather than
prosecutor. Rather than run the chance of
any publicity of what he believed must be an
untrue statement and injurious to his bust
Tobin.
The milk of the Boston Farm Dairy is from
Marin County, only from healthy cows fed
upon the natural pasturage of the country
and upon hay, grain and bran. We have never
knowingly offered for sale any diluted or i'm
pure milk and we are willing at any time to
place our milk in direct competition with that
furnished by any other dairy in the State.
Young Louis Sanders corroborates the

thlng TO do with the matter or not and I
thought it was only bluff to get money
He remarked on leaving, 'I'N see you
again.
lsidor Rosencrantz, Sanders attorney,

to him about two weeks ago that Rood and
others were harassing him to an unbear-

money Rosencrartz advised Sanders

but 10 continue with small payments until
he could get well enough acquainted to
draw Tobin out gradually and learn the
true cause of his attempts. Then the law

prehend the persons concerned. But his
plans did not develop as he wished, for on
one or. two subsequent occasions, when
Tobin went to Sanders office, presumably
for additional payments. Sand ers hap
pened to be in the country. 1t was on one
OF these visits that the younger Sanders
had the short talk with Tobin and let him
depart without giving him any money.
Rosencrantz expressed the opinion that
IN thus neglecting to encourage Tobin
young Sanders had aroused his suspi-
cions, "for," said Rosencrantz, "as old

Hall on the Larkin-street side yesterday
afternoon l noticed nice-a appearing young
fellow take the old gentleman aside and
hold private conversation with him, and
as as he was going he told Sanders to be
sure to come over to the office. | asked
Sanders who the man was, and he said it
was Tobin's partner and that they wanted
him to come over to the Office SO that they
could give back the $40, as they thought
maybe they had not earned it,
