armed him much. At
his request work was delayed six weeks. I at last told him I would
do the work. There were four of us. At various times I asked him if
he had received any money from Ex. He said no. He seemed so careful
that my men deemed it cowardice. I called his attention to this
before the men, saying we looked for courage at this time. He
repeated before us that he believed he had been betrayed, for,
though he had changed his lodgings several times, the party he
suspected as being a detective had called upon him at each place.

Exception by defendant. To which was said:

I finally induced him to give orders to do the work. This was
Thursday. Saturday we did it. After the work was done I met him
that same evening. He remained in Capital City seven days
afterward. I was so reduced for funds that I prevailed upon him to
give me _L_4 of the _L_16 he had left. On landing in this country

place we worked at. Only three of us did the work.

Question by Mr. Ryan--How much money in all did you receive?

A.--Four persons in all. $500; of this the agent got $200. We were
two months in the country.

Then the witness makes a statement that the other man who went with
him, whose name I did not read the last time--this man came back
six months after. At an expense for material, I should think, of
$7,400 in all to cover the enterprise.

Q.--How many operations did you perform? A.--Three. We always bade

last meeting on earth. I have learn
