He objected strongly, he said, and told
Berry he would have to consult with
associates. Other lumber operators
were understood to be paying and he
thought it might be a good plan for
him to pay, although he felt it was
something he should not be required
to do.
When he agreed to contribute he
said, he was asked to make a cash
payment to a man named iced. He
agreed to do so if a voucher would be
given but this was refused Finally
he paid by a chack, which was endors-
