I do not remember laving a conversation about this partir?nl \r niatftl* we were talking of a pist )1 similar to this one shown me 10re owned by him; it was in the oarbcr shop; I don't, remember when this was; it was some time during ihe Christmas holidays, Hs did not state any reason except that he bought it for a special purpose; the purpose was that some fellows were trying to do him dirt at Lorisand lu% had bought it from a drummer and iad it eh;pped to him by express to Loris. He spoke to me about that (rummer; this drummer had come iato hu shop and spoke to him iu a jovial conversation; asked him if he b id ever got his j?un and if the gun had answered.
