About the time Of the war with Spain.
the United States Army adopted for part
of its equipment a buckskin gauntlet. The
standard samples and first goods made in
accordance Herewith were manufactured by
the firm of Daniel Hays & Co. CT Glovers-
willie. Mr.. Lyon had become net only
manufacturer CT furs. but a general con-
tractor OF army supplies. He entered into
negotiations with our firm for the manufac-
ture for him Of such gauntlets. We gave
him from time to time prices at which We
would sell him these gauntlets. Whenever
he succeeded in getting contract he placed
orders with our firm. giving US Instructions
to ship them TO the arsenal at Philadelphia,
and In the course of time these orders were
filled and the bills for shipments made were
delivered to Lyon at the prices agreed upon.
Our firm had no interest in these con-
tracts. We simply sold our goods to Lyon.
We entered into no contract whatever with
him prior to the receipt OF the various con-
tracts by him. He consulted with US regard
ing prices. and when he would succeed in
obtaining contracts he would place an order
with our firm as above stated. provided al
ways that he could not get better prices
from some other manufacturer.
Lyon finally became delinquent in his
payments to cur firm. When we insisted
upon settlement he made to US various
statements-that he had not yet been able
to collect his accounts from the Govern
ment-but he finally admitted to me that he
had been paid and that he was unable to
pay us. and that he had no assets with
which to meet the account.
An agreement finally was reached and
for consideration Of 81 the Lttauer claim
against Lyon was settled. After this. how

salesman for another concern. and A. H.
Gleason. one of his attorneys in the pending
bankruptcy proceedings. made the following
statement:
We have introduced in evidence books
showing that so long as the connection with
