He stated also that some | | of the amendments proposed to the origi- nal contract were made by him. | President Dutcher was calied for the | | purpose of ascertaining whether ne had | vet learned the whereabouts of the com- | | pany’s secretary, in whose possession the | Books of the company were said to be, But ne had not so learned.
