said about the possibility of meeting
here, but as he was uncertain as to
his movements nothing definite could
be arranged. During the course of

whether it was his purpose to put me
on notice of the nature of his assault
or to spring it as a surprise, advising
him at the same time that it was i'm
material to me, and that l simply
desired to know what his purpose in
that respect was. On Friday, the 18th
