man and make the statements therein
reported as their testimony, and advise
the said Chairman to take their state
ments as referee in said action and to
return the same to the court as the tes-
timony of said witnesses. And that said
witnesses nor any of them never came
before the said Chapman after his APP
pointment as referee and made any
statements under oath or gave any of
the reported testimony before him at all,
or verified the same. ALI of which said
