he was questioned the responder. ad-
mitted a series of facts propounded by
the Acknowledgement. Mr.. Sumner
asked for an interpreter and Chas. L.
Hopkins was called in. The morning
after I got $4S.025 forget where I went,
probably to Magoon's. Paid Magoon
$4,000; offered him $500 for his ser
vices, but Magoon told me he had done
considerable services, and there was the
case of All In pending, and he said
he ought to receive more considering
all the work yet % be lone. All IN case
is not yet settled At the time of the
Ropert suit was living with Maria
(Mrs. Buffandeau), after that left her
place: Victoria advanced me $500;
Magoon did not give me any money. 1
