roll of bills, which he said amounted
to 1920, and told him to add the bal
ance to it and come into the bank when
Jones was there and pay the note off
and make Jones give up the note. Wit
ness took the money and put 1t in his
safety deposit box in the bank, and on
Aug 1 he added $50 to 1t and laid the
money before Jones, telling him he
wanted to pay that note. Jones made
no reply, and Stout took the money
and hunted around for the note. 1t
could not be found, and Stout gave
witness a receipt for the money.
Stout a few days afterward asked
witness to go to Jones again and get
that note.
did you a few days afterward tell
Stout that you had signed that note?"
No; | never did"
Cross-examined by Mr. Putnam, wit
ness said he was 50 years of age, and a
little deaf; his memory was not very
good. The talk with Stout was i'm
pressed on his mind, however, and he
vas quite sure the main facts were
as he stated them. Witness did not
have much conversation with Jones,
because he didn't like him very well,
and Stout had told witness some
things about Jones which witness did
not like. Jones came down to witness
house to ask about the note, but wit
ness gave him little or no information.
Redirect examination:
What did Stout tell you about
Jones that you did not like very well?"
Objected to and objection sustained.
