naa mere mere tuaa two eoa
veteationa about thie particular debt

Q. Did too ever ask of YrJ ITamer
to defend er explain or advocate any
bill, resolution or motion before ibe
leeialature, in which yea or any rail
road corporation or individuals were in
terestedinf A. I never did. ' w f
Q. Was the flret money you loaned
Mr. Turner soon alter be was elected
to congress, and did he tell you he
wanted it to defray his exteoees to
Washington A. I think that is so;
the principal money was fer that pur
pose, l may have loaned bim tiou or
1200 before thie, but I am not certalu.
Q. Do you remember loaninz bim
money in 1HG7-68 when he waa presi
dent of the North Carolina railroad to
be paid when he drew his salary, and
was it paid to Daniel Worth and others
for youf A. I made Mr. Turner sev
eral small loans during hi presidency
of the N. C. railroad which be prvm
Ued to pay from time to time as he
drew bis salaiy. These amounts he
always paid to Daniel Worth.
Q. 1 there anything disreputable,
dUbouorable, or tainted with diohonor
- or imitruprlelj tu MrrTuruer's trans
actions with u, whether mblio or
private. A. That's question I don't
fcuow exactly how to autwtr! I think
Sir. Turner has acted badly , to some
matters. Ha may think othorwUel
can state a good many circurnsUucai
er a good many traneactiona wha h
Lave uken place between ue. Is the
first place r. Tumcr ; borrowed the
money wlih whlcb V) ibtrthe Seaiiael,
He assured me that hU fadier'a real t
Ub in the county of Onuwe waa worth
180,000, , and t that , hi father
didn't owe anytblnc ' ta bis
own account, or " any other account
except security for him, and that this
debt was perfectly safe, lie said, that
bis father waa old aad Infirm, sad that
he would brin me a latter, firone Gov.
Graham teUlyini- that his father was
of sound mind and capable of transact
ing bosroeee. :Thle setter from Uot.
Graham he did not bring. The land
on which I ' promised to advance the
money, tbe $5,000, was placed to the
bands of Judge Merrinum. ' Juat as
Mr. Turner waa leaving the room. 4
requested that nothing should ao In
the hentinel to damage the credit of the
Xorth t'aroliua state, bnnds and we
screed to do so. He made the promi.
This land waa placed In Judge Merri
mon's lands 10 he held, as 1 ad not
then advanced the money. : ' ';' "tr
Q. Do you knew anytlung ' further
disltenorable on my pert t A. I do not
think it exactly right for Mr. Turner to
have abused me aa he baa through the
Sentinel before he. had paid mo the
money I loaned him that bought the
Sentinel and other money I loaned bus.
I thought it in bad taste to Mr. Turner
to be suggesting questions to the cross
cation attorneya when I was hero u the
habeas corpus Blatter, after I had done
so many favors for htm aa I had. ' '
9. Did you not know that my father
for thirty years waa the ewner of Urge
real eettte in " Orange county t A. I
slways understood that he owned con
siderable real estate In Orango aouoty,
but never knew anything of its value,
except what I learned from Mr. Turner.
" Q. Did you not know him to bo a Bum
of large landed estate before you talked
to me on the subject, or was it not re
ported A. Aa I have just stated it had
always beea considered that ho waa a
sum of large real estate in Orson eountr.
I never knew anything of its value ex
cept what I learned from Jusiah Tomer.
Q. Did I not tell you that the real
estate wss saseeaed to I860 for taxes at
53,000 or $C3,000, aa the clerk of the
Orange county court informed me, and
ths property wsa worth to 18G0 $30,000
-or mores ten Y that what-1 stated to
roe. I A. My recollection is this : That
Mr. Turner said that bis fathers real
swats waa worth in I860 fSO.000, and
that it waa assessed for taxatioa lor more
than 160,000. , I don't recollect the exact
amount I have no recollection of bis
M7-ng anything about ths clerk of the
Orsuire eoonry court. After judrmeot
waa taken on tuis note to Orange conrt,
or about that time, I wrote to Mr.
imdm m mom w Hmra in ana
father's lawk la I860, and I have a letter
at home whiob if I Jim tuse to get will
give the value of the lead, the taxatioa
to 166a The letter will be produced
