 Affidavits Cannot Be Controverted Now said Mir. Half, speaking of
 these documents, does anyone sup
 pose that the cashier and a disinter-
 ested notary public have both com
 mitted perjury. or that somebody has
 forged the signature of the cashier,
 and four witnesses, and forged the sig
 natures and official seals of three mo-
 taries and two Mexican vice consuls? .?
 Nobody has shown nor is able to
 show any statement of Cashier Hood
 which contradicted the foregoing afi-
 dayit'"
