I then pointed to his name on it, and he said, "I don't know anything about it?it is all wrong." In his .publication, he says that he "told me if mycharacter was so wantonly assailed as I tod bim, that he would do me all the justice he could." If he had understood the certificate, he would have knowu th^t my character was assailed, without being told o. it- He' sayj that he . igued it know vgly. ThU is a confession that he.know ngly signed a lalsehocd.
