Now the only better shape thew were

pay any more until Nav of this wear.

Mind Won, the note for $1S5 was not
given to Goo Wan Hoy, but to judge
Humphreys, in Judge Humphreys
name, because I didn t want to have
| any more dealings with that man. and
it had drifted now around to Mills
and I settled it for SIS and 7 was
very careful to take a release of all
claims, a release of all notes. and I
put in the word "notes' and got the
release from all notes because of the
fact that from the time he commenced
this suit he denied absolutely ever
having received from me any note of
any kind, ard that the suit was not on
any note. but the suit was based on
this claim &C $500: but 7 knew he
had notes although 7 had no memo
rapdum OF it. You will see that I am
not business man.
Suspected Trouble Would Come.
Before this matter started [ had got
an intimation that Goo Wan Hoy was
going to detail his woes to the morn

made the basis of some charges against

get a line on it from the bank, and I
got line on it from the bank, and
that is the only way that I am able
to speak now of these notes with any
assurance, because, as I say. until he
put in the paper about that $40 note,
he denied absolutely ever having re-
ceived any note from me or having
any notes in his possession. but ] got
the memorandum from the bank. ZAP

I paid him 800 in cash, according to |

I paid him also in cash 800 and SIS,
making $3.50 in cash. Now, / had done /
