Columbia, S. C., March 1 o.? ;
A number of witnesses were ex- i
ami nod in the penitonti irv investi- (gutiun
today. Colon;;! Neal was >
re-examined. Keforriiiir to the f
collection of ^500 fro 11 Ilannon
in 1SP5, he said that lie k*?|?t the
money and did not turn it over to <j
the penitentiary. Mr. Fouler also'
paid sjt500, which he <1 'posited to t
his own account when the settle- ?
incnt was made.
Mr. lturiss's statement, was I;
substantially correct as to the i
amount the witness owed to tiii,
State. lie proposed to settle it n
with the board in December last li
but lie was sick. He proposed to]
settle it and to pay evety single 1
uickle and not call on bis bonds-1
man for a cent. Ul
Mr. Buriss's statement was con- a
scientious and correct. The State { ?
will be protected and *h*n%t lose^
a nickle. 'I haven't jju>t the i
. 1
money," lie said, 'but with assis-'.
tance of mv friends it will all be I
paid. The Iius.se! I note will also <
be paid." |t
Colonel Neal said li? didn't
turn over the $l,00n received v
from Fowler and Hammond be- f
cause he didn't know but that the]
penitentiary was due him. It was ?
true lie had used some of it pei s f
... I
sunnily hut lie intended to lix it in c
the settlement.
I
A receipt war. produced l'<u
traveling expenses from August, !*
1805, to .January, IMP!, amount t
ing to $101 As to why ho did s
not account for the $1,000 he |
said tliat was hocauso he hoped to i
ho ahle to return it, hut was not I
ab'e at that time to do so. lie
kept a memorandum, hut the
amounts wore not credited on the
hooks of the penitentiary. )'
In reply to Mr. Tat ton he said that
if he had died in the mean '
time the State would have lost if '
his bondsmen could not pay. ! '
A train, in answer to Mr. l'atton, i
ho said that he now thought thut
his conduct was not right from an s
ethical standpoint. I
A hoot three or four hundred 11
dollars a year was his ordinary
travelling expenses. When ho:
used the $1,000 ho did not suppose
that all of it would he ncces
sary for traveling expense*.
Referring to a payment of $5i?0
hy Cooky and Fowler, of which j ^
tho penitentiurv <r?>t ?>, lie said 11
ho hud got $244. On the uainn ^
day $*5(5.17 was collected from *
Hammond. Of this sum hw kept I
$300, and turned the rest over to 1
the penitentiary. He used it for' '
his private purposes. In Mr. J
Watson's papers there was a note
for #S00 endorsed by Colonel tl
Neal ns superintendent. Mr. o
Watson said it was made by him h
to pay Mr. lirazeale. Colonel 1
Neal said that he did uot remern
her about this but his signature d
was to the note. He could not t
remember whether tho peniten- t
inry erer had anything to d(
rith the note. Ho endorsed note
s superintendent to benefit tin
onitenliury. lie would not saj
hat Mr. Watson's statement wn
also, lie simply did not reineni
er whether it win a persona
latter or not.
Referring to twenty cowi
ought from Kagsda'.e for $500
e said that Kagsdulc had hough
hem all ??v?r the county. Rossi
1 y two cons came from his owr
arm. The cows were bought U
upply the institution with milk
lore cows were bought fron
tag-dale. The Nenl olantatioi
