Brown and President Richardson, who |
were in anyway implicated in the loot

Mr.. Brown believes that Boggs did |
not profit by hisstealing from the bank, |
although it was known that he was liy- |

That was done invariably, until a final
demand was made by Boggs for money.
Then all hands gave up, not money.
