CROSS-EXAMINED BY ALEXANDER SULLIVAN. Q--When and to whom did you complain on your return to this country? A--To Donovan. Q--You made no complaint to the executive directly. A--No. By Mr. Boland--How did you get the money, the $500. A--In cash. This was three months before the convention. Q--Did I ask you to get the amount right as representing R. D.? A.--I told you I had them on the ship. Q.--Has any difficulty since that made you say why you were on R. D.? A.--No. Q.--Were you a delegate at the time you got the money? A.--No. Q.--Were you appointed on foreign relations or finance committee? A.--No. Q.--Pending the discussion of the report you left the convention? A.--I left, claiming it was not a convention of the order. Q.--You don't know who I appointed? A.--No; I was not in on permanent organization. Q.--You don't know of operations outside of your own? A.--No. To Mr. Rogers--I voted at the convention under a vote taken on various motions. By Mr. Ryan--Do you know of any work having been done between Jan. 20, 1885, and the district convention. A.--No. Q.--How much did it cost for Mackey's work? Objected to by Feeley. Q.--When did you get that $500. A.--The check sent by Boland and Ryan will show I got the money from Ryan, but he received it by check. Constitution of the order offered in evidence. Examination of another witness. Obligated, name, etc. My knowledge when I was elected D. M. to fill vacancy, caused by resignation of John J. Marony. In July, 1885, his resignation was demanded by the district. In October I went out as an organizer for the National League through the west. Nov. 23, I spoke at Philadelphia. Several seniors mentioned that Dillon was in straightened circumstances. I promised to see the executive. I saw Gen. Kerwin, D. M., of New York. He said when I mentioned the matter to him, that he had no power; that this was not an order to grant pensions. He would see Boland. I met Boland by arrangement. He listened to what I had to say, and at first refused to assist Dillon. Finally he said he would consider the matter. Then he authorized me to pay $200 of obligations maturing. I advanced this myself, and got it back in December, 1885, and I saw Gen. Kerwin,
