You also told me in a later @cenversation, which eecuTred shortly bea Fore or shortly after I went out of offieesr that MT Rushton had eal,ed on you and had been told how the matter stood, gs e As the time when the bondsmen first knew of the default has become a public and the subject of discussian by some of the press. and the accuracy of my recollection questioned. as to dates of conversations with ore of the bondsmen and his representative, l must ask for a stetemerpt for publication of what yonl told me as to the knowledge of the bonds msn, and when you told me-

 Dear Sir-Under the circumstances, I recognize your right to make the request that you do a city good while in October, 1894 Dur ing his absence while the grand jury was making an investigation of the probate ., Judges office between the Sth and 20th days of October. 1894. MT. Oliver O.. --- .-Rushton. one of the bondsmen, came to me to inquire about the condition of the office. and was fully informed by me as i, to the shortage. l told you of MT. o. O. Rdshtons s visit in conversation In No = Vsil per, while you were. still in office. The A records show that the grand jury met that year on the Sth of October and ad- 1ourned on the goth day of October. MT. Q. c. Rushtons conversation with me, therefore, could not have occurred later than the goth day of October.
 On the 18th of December, 1894, two checks were drawn by the office on the First National bank of Montgomery and payment refused and the cheeks re- turned to me. I still have them in my possession, and the date fixes the time of the occurrence. The only other bonds man besides MT. Rushton were director, and the teller of the First National bank. Prior to the 18th of December 1894 of ficers of the bank were made acquainted with the financial condition of the pro- bate judges office. one of them being the teller who refused payment of the two checks referred to. Judge Randolph was absent in Coasa county. when these checks were thrown out, and did not re- turn for about week afterwards Dur ing his absence and two or three days after the checks were thrown out, MT. Ray Rushton called at the office and talked with me. and I then told him plainly of the condition of affairs. and being allowed until Jan. 15 to settle told you of MT Ray Rushtens visit 8 day or two after it occurred, and what II -~Ah had told him as to the shortage. On the 1fth day of January, 1895, and not the 11th MT Rushton came to see if the promise to pay up had been kept. and it ~was- then that I showed him the treas :-dlr -ris receipt. Yours respectfully,
