A witness testifies: Witness called to stand, after being duly
obligated, testified as follows:

Some time previous to the Boston convention I was called on by
certain members of the order in reference to an offer of services
made by me some time previously. After conference in relation to
details I agreed to go to the other side. I went by steerage on
ticket procured for me and received _L_20. After an absence of

Green's Hotel, Philadelphia, in company with John J. Maroney.

his reason for not giving me more before leaving was that men
engaged in similar work had been arrested on landing on the other
side; that my carrying a large sum
