 In the matter of the advances made to parties and charged up by Mir. More head, he stated several times when asked that he felt sure that all had been repaid, and that if they had not been he would have been responsible. 1 believe this to be correct. l make this report without prejudice or par tiality.

 To All Whom It May Concern: Be it known hereby, that with fullest de- sire to do only fair, just and right, as it is reported to me that Messrs. Stone man and Thompson, upon reading the report which have prepared and sub mitted, feel that in ts language, as l wrote it, they are reflected upon un- justly, desire to state l did not 80 in tend it, and was simply trying to ex- plain the methods" of Mir. More head, which brought about his troubles; my thought and intent was all on the method"
 While l do not construe the lan- guage as do the gentlemen mentioned, 1t is far from my intention or desire to say anything against the good name of these gentlemen or any others un- justly, and am satisfied that they fully repaid MT. Morehead for the ad- vances mentioned, and all others they received, as MT. Morehead told me they had. My understanding is that MT. Stoneman and Mir. Thompson full ly repaid every cent and do not owe anything for these advances, and l had no intent tion to cause any other supposi tion to be had from what l wrote. Mir. Morehead no doubt failed to enter up the credits.
 l wrote that report of my own idea, in desire to hurry and complete it for the board and get home. felt no malice or spite, and l look upon Messrs. Thompson and Stoneman and the other gentlemen whose names were included in the mention of lad yanceS,n only given for sample, as upright, honorable men, whose name l would not for a moment think of in- turing uDjustly in thought, word or deed
 l write this that they may have a showing of my motives and intent, freely, and to set at rest the wrong construction they seem to have put upon my well meant statement.
 Their names and character and in- tegrity are entitled to my most sin cere respect. P. K. HICKEY,
