to Boggs by Senator Kenney to pay fora
farm near Harrington, which Bnggs

never charged against Senator Kenney's
account, and the Indictment alleges that

1895, to Cuthbert & Co., and which 1t Is
alleged was used for the benefit Of Senator
kenney. The next count takes up eight

Il Co., and which-were paid by Boggs out
Of the funds Of the bank. when Senaor
kenney did not have enough money in
