Did not meet him then, but a tew moments afterwards, We talked of fhe case. Ldi say that Marshal Cam- mings was full as a tick when he spoke tome about taking off my star, Butt meant that he was angry, not drunk. Marshal Cummings did not tell me how much money he had for me, but just said that he had” some money that ‘1 could have. ‘The fivst article in’the Herald was not justified by anything I said, It was acorrect and all mixed up. I never said that the marshal offered moe $25. and never hinted that to him., T'he orter made up that stetement, and he quoted suying many things that I never an impres ng nt- f the Salt ne It secemed to me that the money v given to the marshal as a bribe, I did not report it to the mayor because I knew that then off would go my head.

I may hiave s that Cunimings was an lonest man, b cause I have been friendly to the mar shal, I believe I stated to My, Geo. W Ambrose that 1 did not believe Marshal Cummings wouldl accept a bribe. All 1 know about the cuse was what Gen O'Brien had told me. 1 told Marshal Cummings that L did not helieve he onght to have released Travis. 1 believe it is the rule that after a prisoner is once put in jail, he can be liberated by no one ox copt the judge. 1 do not remember that I made any statement to a reporter for the Bee that I belicved Cummings wa: honest a man as eyer lived, and that he never took any money for hribes, 1 al ways_defendéd the marshal, and said very little against him, John Ebenhack v ealled and testifi- ed: Am a laboring man; 1 am acquaint ed with Gen.
