able to secure repayment Of the loan.
j.. W. Yeoman OF Lawtons agent for

ings with Colonel Watson. Ames re
Lplied that the commissioner had come
to him in the fall Of 1908 and said
that he had a son in Vanderbilt in the
senior class.
He asked Ames 10 advance him $40
y month to put the boy through the
year and take notes signed by the
WatsOns. father and sons. Ames adj
vanced between 5000 and $500, he
said. between September, 1908. and
June. 1909. He said he had received
$50 on two of the monthly notes, but
had been unable TO collect the rest,
though he had asked for It MANY
times.
Ames said he was attorney for the
Frisco railroad when he made the
loan, though his resignation was
awaiting acceptance He said he
didn't think Watson knew that he had
resigned.
The Frisco had many cases before
the commission at that time. Ames
said. He added that he now repre-
scented several corporations with cases
before the commission.
That Colonel Watson borrowed
$1,000 from the girls in the office OF
James Il. ~Cottingham. attorney for
