might excite suspicion. That was
satisfactory to me, especially as I was given the name of the agent
on the other side who was to furnish funds as needed. I left the
room and sent in ---- (another man), the one that was to accompany
me. Maroney left the room with me. This other man told me he
received the same amount that I did. Maroney then told me he was
glad I refused to accept the sum offered me as total compensation
for the work. He also said he did not believe it was the wish of
the F. C. to do as the S. had said. He promised to see the F. C.
and demand money from them, and should they not give it he would
send me help on the next steamer by a trusty man. On the way over I
had to pay over _L_2 for certain accommodations on steamer. After
being on the other side nine days, taking care not to excite
suspicion, I had but _L_10 left. I then went to Capital City, and
met the man who I was told was the agent and would give me money,
and I told him I wanted some help, as I was short of funds. I asked
him for _L_10. He denied having any money for any such purpose; he
had no more than he required for actual expenses, and hardly that.
He said all he had received upon leaving was $200.

Objected to by Boland, who asked to know how witness knew the man
was agent.

Witness--I was told by Donovan in the presence of Maroney that upon
my arrival on the other side I would get funds from the man
mentioned. The man then went on to say, that owing to the
circumstances he might be obliged to stay for a year. He had worked
at his business for some time, but was doing nothing now. I then
said I would return at once to America. He said he would at once
ask something for me from Ex. I replied that if he did not get
funds I would go back. Before leaving I asked him where would it be
necessary to do the work. He said he did not know; things were
looking queer; that he was sure he had been betrayed by some one.

Question by Mr. Ryan--What became of this man?

Witness--He is now in prison. His reason for thinking he was
betrayed was that two men had called at his lodging asking for him
under his assumed name. I told him to change his lodging. But soon
after I was told he had been followed up by the same individuals,
whom he had suspected were detectives. This al
