deacons and others interested ir
church work He was sure to neap
abuse on all who opposed him ard a
great many times got after his friends
like he did with the editor of the

his companion time and again on these
excursions and found him to be a
most charming companion. Whether
Hayne found me to be agreeable or
not, | cannot say, but | do know he
found me very easy to rob as far as
purchasing boats go. At his solictI-

yacht and before the boat arrived l
paid him my share of the cost. Wheh
he skipped out from Buchanan | w9s
called upon to pay the entire sum,
Hayne having purchased it in my
name.
II could probably keeping on telling
incidents connected with Haynes ca
reer in Virginia for several hours.
Suffice it to say that he was the
smoothest individual | have ever net

down the bridges behind him and it
is never the good fortune of a new
community i'm which he may locate to
learn of his previous record They

The career of Hayne here a.

of residents of the city not less than
S7,000-and this after warning of his
character had preceded him At that

Hayne had at one time had a princess
for a wife, She belonged to one OF the

How much did Hayne make out of

between 100000 and $4,000. He must
have QUITE a bit of this money vet.

swindler of a Salt Lake hotel and as
an unsuccessful neg6tiator at Chicago
of some of the paper he had secured
from Mrs. Hayne.
