Cone. Mr.. Crafty confronted the station
agent. Mr.. Basford of Vassalboro, for
the purpose of giving the latter an OPP
portunity of Identifying him as the
man To- whom he had given the receipt
for the three barrels of liquor and from
whom he had received payment for the
same. 1t appeared that Mr.. Basford
had not receipted for the money but
that his agent. Mr.. Newell. having TAX
en- the pay, gave the receipt
Mr.. Newell not only failed to identify
Mr.. Crafty as the one who had received
the goods but absolutely and unhesitat-
ingly declared that Mr.. Crafty was not
the man who signed receipt for the
same. Being asked by Mr. Crafty if he
would sign 4 statement TO that effect
he answered, ITO be sure l will: YOU
are certainly not the man." Mr.. Newell
then subscribed to the following, giving
his oath Herewith to it's truth and Mr..
Crafty is now able to show the papers
containing the proof of his innocence in
the following words:
l, Ralph Newell of Vassalboro, Maine,
state positively that Mr.. j. M. Crafty
as presented 10 me today is not the
man u whom | delivered the merchan-
disc February5. 1906, addressed to Jerry
