Boggs then identified bonds of
Thomas S. Clark to Kenney, and as
signed to Boggs. and thence to the
First National Bank OF Dover. The
bonds were assigned after Boggs re-
turned. Kenney never had Clark's
checks or letters. The witness always
held Them This matter WAS under
taken by Mr.. Kenney in 1895. He
Thought that on account Of his rela-
lions with Clark he could collect the
money. The bond for S2,5OO, and an
other for $3.50 were offered in evidence.
A bond CT J. r. McGonlgal to R. r.
Kenney was offered. Boggs said that
Kenney dld not DRAW that bond, and
he was net sure THAT it was left with
Kenney. The McGoniRal bond was not
admitted, because it WAS not proved
THAT Kenney had ever had anything TO
do with the bond. A bond OF Amos
Cole was also spoken OF, but Boggs
said that Kenney did not have the
Cole bond. Five hundred dollars Of
the Cole Indebtedness was incurred on
the representation Of Kenney, that if
Boggs would advance The money he
would secure it. There was no proof
Of an order, and the matter was drop
ped.
Mr.. Vanhegrift showed Boggs q check
for $500, representing Senator Ken
ney's first purchase Of Bay State Gas
and asked Boggs if he knew that tine
check was coming before it arrived

Mr.. Bird said: You say you woul

Boggs' face turned crimson. Straighf
ening himself up and pointing his rigf

it is unfair"
