Contractor Fowler showed a

enitentiary lias received none of

W. <v>. Hammond paid his aeon

rhich was paid.
Hammond's $800 and Fowler's
500 were deposited on th *ne

ersonal account.
At the afternoon session Coloel
Meal said that when he left i
Lnderson he owed Watson $0,000
n installments and tried to pay
t hack. Kagsdale, the farm foreman,
became dissatisfied and the
ontract by which he again asunied
charge of the farm was to
acify Kagsdale. He, Meal, said
hat ho owed the penitentiary for
lie three yeau' convict labor.
!e said that he had made Watson
en payments of about $0,000 on
he $ I 1,000 debt and that the only
eason he had not paid anything
n the convict account was that
he farm had not made it, but
hat he was still liable to Watson
or the convict hire, and Watson
o the state under his contract.
The Kagsdules whose notes
vero discounted with his endorsencnt
as superintendent, to pay
ne accounts on the penitentitary
ooks had no responsibility. The
1,400 receipt, he said, was for!
noney he paid out in Anderson

placed it to his personal account
and used it for expenses. He j
had periodical settlements with
the penitentiary as to these items

hut that lie had had no set

made, therefore there was no'
record or credit of this on the.
penitentiary hooks.
