Interested in the claims and asked IL

any attention to the claims or what
the other claimants were doing be-
cause ! was too busy building rail-
roads. In the spring of 1906 | took
! the contract to build more than 500

coal claim
Il let Cunningham look after it and
everything that he said Went with me
Il didn't have anything to do with
the Guggenheim negotiations and did
not know that they We're being carried
on Later when / heard about the
Guggenheim proposition, | thought
that ii was all right. / knew that 1t
would cost close to $4,000 600 to build
a railroad and docks to handle the
coal and | knew that one man could
not do it alone. When the Guggen-
helm negotiations fell through we or
ganized the Behring River Railway
company We didn't have any inten-
ton of building a railroad then, but
merely wanted to get right of way
so that some one else couldn't come in
and bottle us up by getting the only
available route
Mr.. Henry was shown an affidavit
signed by him, in which it was said
that he kew most of the claimants.
THAT statement is false" said
Henry. II know only three or four
of these men. This shows that |
signed affidavits without looking at
them. Cunningham brought CLAWS
to my office and asked me to sign the
affidavits. They said it was all right
and | signed it. | did not read it over
for if / had | would not have let
false statement like that get into it.
During the cross examination. Mr..
Henry was shown a copy of the Gun
ningham journal When asked if ht
had seen the original he said
II never saw the journal and did
not know that Cunningham kept any
books until he told me that it had
been stolen.
After he had you sign affidtufs
that you say are not true, do you be-
lievc that Cunningham told the trath
when he said his journal was stolen
by Glavis2" asked Mr.. Sheridan, the
attorney
Il believe Cunningham told the
truth when he said some one stole it,
was Henry's prompt response.
The defense expects to complete the
examination of witnesses here tomor-
