anything; that he had promised to give
him part of the money, but that he didn t
intend to. Jim" Price was also pointed
out by Compton, who told witness he
was no good, and was a cattle thief
from Arizona" Another one whom wit
ness was warned against was the man
named "Reddy," red-headed individ-
ual whom witness did not know save by
sight. Witness stated that he saw
"Reddy" in Jail about week ago.
The next time witness had conversa-
ton with Compton was when he met him
in the barber shop on First street, close
to Spring, i'm which Compton had told
witness he had half interest. Compton
was with Poker" Davis but got up
and Joined Ware. He said that nothing
could be done until the abstract was
ready. The money to pay for the alb
stract was found by Compton and given
by him to witness the next time they
met They adjourned to a saloon ON
First street and Compton handed over
$11. The abstract cost S., and witness
returned SO to Compton, and the latter
told witness to keep the balance. After
looking at the abstract Compton said:
You'd better see if you can get any
money on it; I'll get the deed and the
man to acknowledge it, and only have
to pay 81 for his doing it," He said he
could furnish a man who would repre-
sent l.. H. Greene and get the money at
the bank, but that plan was not follow
ed. When the deed was produced by
Compton, witness vigorously kicked at
its being made out to him. He knew, he
said, that it was perfectly useless to ask
his wife to participate in the matter,
and he told Compton that he had got a
man named Davis to draw down the
money. Compton said he DIDN'T like
getting so many people mixed up in the
affair, but he wasn't angry, and it was
agreed another deed should be prepared.
When the second deed was prepared,
Compton said he would get it acknowl-
edged, and then witness had to get it
in to Davis hands as soon as possible,
for Compton said he was broke.

Compton told me-" said he, "that he
had beat the courts every time. That he
had been arrested for vagrancy and got
out of that and there was no trouble III
doing the courts up; that he had played
some of the greatest schemes an0 had
never been convicted, and the only thing
