Interrogation by Mr.. Whipple dur

Hutton told of Connolly calling on him
five or six months ago. informing
him that the firm of E. Connolly &c
Co was to be organized, with Boiling
as one of the partners, and asking
If the Hutton firm would become its

The Hutton Telegram.
Some time between the receipt of
the Chicago message and Hutton's re-
ply to It, the now missing message
from Connolly was received. Hutton
testified. This was the message on
which Ellis based his message at 154
o'clock, which follows:
