Witness, in the course of this con- Versation, referred inctdentatly toan item of $20,000 charged in their partnership account as having been paid by Sawyer, in the. year 1872, for “expenses,” and, being rather out of temper, the witness remarked, sneer- ingly, ‘Well, I suppose tho Postmaster General got that?” Sawyer replied, “No; Routh govit.” J. I. Routh was at that time Second Assistant Postmaster General. Sawver did not say he paid it to Routh in person, | nor did ho say he had given it to some one whom ho expected to convey it to Routh.

He (witness) had never authorized, and was not awaro of, any expenditure of money except for legitimate business purposes, Saw- yer controlled and managed everything, but was not a methodical busmess man. Ifthe (Sawyer) keptany books | witness had never seen them. He understood and believed that considerable sums of money had | been paid by Sawyer to buy off lower bidders and also for attorneys’ fee one attorney received regularly from Sawyer $5,000 or $6,000 per year, On further | examination witness testified that he had no knowl. edge whether Sawyer paid out any of the money thus chorged to the expense account or whether he used it for his own private purpose: never saw any receipts for these alleged payments nor heard any one acknowl- edge receiving any portion of the money; did not know ‘“whejner he was engaged in any private speculations; he was interested in one or two little patents, and had invested about $40,000 in some other things, whieh had not turned out well; witness had only Suwyer's word for the correctness of the items thus charged to the expense account without vouchers, The witness will be further examined after Mr. Saw- yer's books and papers are sent for and some of tho other parties in interest shall bave given their testi- mony.
