from manuscript and called attention
to the facts in detail regarding the for.
nation Of the fictitious Illinois Supply

Of successfully carrying through the
fraud. and related the fact that Bick.
erstaff, after first appearing before the
grand jury, returned to Kalamazoo and
told the directors what he had testified
to and what he had been asked, where
upon the directors held the famous
Sunday meeting, and each contributed
81. 500 toward a fund of $4,000, which
was deposited in the bank. to the order
Of II. p. Stauffer. trustee, so that the
latter might appear before the grand
jury and swear that the profits Of the
deal were still in the bank undivided.
"Mr. e. s. Roos. the attorney and
director. to whom I refer" said Judge
West, "took part in these meetings "
the directors and contributed S4.oJo to
this fund so that Mr.. Stauffer might
commit perjury before the grand jury.
Mr. Kauffer did appear before the
grand Jury. and did commit deliberate
perjury. These facts came to my at
tention in the case Of Eli r. Sutton.

Kauffer and other directors of the
Henderson, Ames Co.. and without fur
tber comment wish to file 1t here. and
ask that the encouragement be In
