The account was first opened for him
Nv Mr. Westcott in 1891. Two accounts of

10 Capt. Carter's credit. 1t was money
for securities belonging to Mr. Westcott.
/ Mr. Westcott was not away from the
country at that time.
| "If those bonds were Mr. Westcott's
why was the money deposited to your
rradit?" Col Barr asked
He gave it to me. Mr.. Vanderventer
would not have so deposited the money
| without Mr.. Westcott's permission.
But Mr.. Westcott himself had an ac
count at the Union Trust Company, did
he not?'
He did"
Then why should the money have been
/ deposited TO your credit and not to his?"
Il have no doubt that it was because
Mr.. Westcott gave him authority to so
4 deposit it,"
Capt Carter remembered the $1,000
which Mr.. Westcott gave him from his
safety deposit box, it having been called
to his mind by his brother
Did Mr.. Westcott owe you any mon
G?"
He never owed me any money, Colonel.

Money sent to you and no letters show
1 afecton?" Col. Barr asked.
Yes, I think he gave me very substan-
tan expression of his affection. There
are also some letters among nv pspers
& expressing that affection"
