came back he would see that he paid
my bill, and as was not needed for a
witness, and didn't expect to be, l went
to San Diego When I came back he
said that you would not have cent to
pay that bill, as you wanted $4,000 for
all that you were doing here, and had
mortgage on all his property"
"Mr. Bell told you that?"
Eyes, sir

to somebody else?"
mot until he tried to get me to leave
on this trial through you again"
| You swear that he tried to get you
to leave this country on my account in
any way?"
| HE told me so. don't know wheth-
er you told it or not, but he told me So"
"Who was present when he told you
that?"
Myself and the other witness

you wanted somebody to present a de-

FOREARMED WITH AN ATTORNEY
"Well, thought it was just as well for
me to hire an attorney to do my business,
as you were working for Mr.. Hastings. >"
"But if you were to leave the country,
why didn't you come first hands to me,
If wanted you to leave?"

would be good idea to keep away from
you and send my attorney"

II was not acquainted with you, and
didn't think you would care to take a
little bill like that for collection, as you
