peated demands upon Peter Mortensen
Tor money on the account that Peter
Mortensen was owing the company. Mr.

er Mortensen made no payments what
ever during this time that Mr.. Romney
asked him time aud again for part
payment II he could not make n full
settlement. Finally Mr. Romney usld
him, We (meaning the Pacific Lumber
company must have the money, as we
need It," Saturday, before the fatal
Monday, Peter Mortensen told Mr..
Romney that he thought he would be
able TO fix up with the company on
Monday next.
SECOND.
