special request (Mr. Davis being with

order of sale on account Of q lumber lien,

served a notice on me claiming the prop
erty. l said 1 would demand an indem
nifying bond, and if it was not given l
would release the levy. but the bond in
Identifying the Sheriff was duly given
and near the last days OF May, 1Si9,
sold all the property on the premises to
Governor Irwin for the state for over
5000 which satisfied all the executions
in my hands. The State thereafter nm
ished the building of the prison by day

had one dollar legal claim against the
State from the day Of the Sheriff's sale
under the John o. Brown execution to
the present time. l have nothing but
kindly feelings towards Mr.. Jordan. and
never have had, but l have always
fought against illegal claims.
Later Mr.. Davis commenced suit
against the Sheriff for something over
$4,000 damages for selling this prop
erty, which suit was tried in the District
Court of Sacramento County, and ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court Of the State
of California, which decided in favor of

against the State for over S63,5 800. Now,
what I want to state is this. was Dep
uty Sheriff under NJ. NJ. Drew, in 1879.
/ know all about the Dennis Jordan
matter. Jordan & Noonan had the con-
tract to build the Folsom Branch State
Prison. Their creditors attached them;
among the creditors was a widow
named Kate Hamilton, who at
tached for some 81 800 or 81, 300 for
board of men and money loaned. l am
the officer that served or levied the at
tachment. The work was stopped and
could not proceed unless the tools and
materials were first released, whereupon
Jordan & Noonan, the contractors, made
an assignment of their contract to VIM
Gutenberger of Sacramento, to secure
him, and got Gutenberger and Mooney
to give a bond releasing the attachment.
Later Jordan & Noonan got Guten
berger to return the property into their
possession, whereupon John 0. Brown
of Folsom attached the property to COL
about 5000. l again took possession of
the tools and material of Jordan &
Noonan at the prison ground, and the
work was suspended. A few days or
shortly after this Mr.. Jordan called on
me q lived at Folsom) TO see if they
could not get permission for the men
at the prison to use a part of the tools.

Brown, would give me his written orders

fused. Subsequently Mr.. Jordan and
Mr.. Davis (son of Davis, the lime man Of
San Francisco called on me to know
how soon | could sell the whole property
I informed them that l could not sell
without execution, as none of the prop
