ing that firm in that city had agreed
toado some work for Everett Waddey

were prevented doing 50 through the ef-

I, L. O. Wendenburg. do hereby certify
II that on October rs. 1905. about 10 a. NJ.
lust as i was leaving my office to5g TO
the Henrco Circuit Court, ! was met IN
the waiting room of my office by Mr.
William Nylde who introduced himself
to me, and said he saw from the news
papers that intended having him ar
: rested for getting the $40 under false
prctences, and he asked me what did
want him to do. / said l wanted him 10
return to those gentlemen that $40 which
he had gotten under false pretence.
& He then asked would promise not 10
prosecute him If he returned the slaO
and ! told him would make no such
promise, but he would readily see this
would have some weight with the jury
in determining whether his intent was
to defraud although the law did not
allow a thief to escape punishment upon
his returning the. stolen property as
soon as he is discovered
then asked him, How can you hold
on to this money and have the jury TO
I come 10 any other conclusion than that
your purpose was TO defraud these peo-
Pile out OF this money!" He replied that
he could not return the money because
he had sent 1t away. and Mr.. Waddey
knew he had sent It away. and had
promised to repay same whenever he
Il was required TO return same: he further
! said that-nl Wloldey would furnish him
4 with Counsel and with bail He then
4, said. Suppose ! furnish you with evil
dence that will defeat the injunction
