between the Central Pacific Railroad
Company of California and the Western
Pacific Railroad Company any of the
stock of the Contract Pacific Railroad
Company?

A. I do not think I did. Let me
explain that the transfer of stock
on the books of the Company from
one person to another dont[don't] always
designate the day on which the stock
was received, that the part having it
transferred it. They may hold
it in their possession for years
in the name of the other party
with their endorsement upon it and
I know that a good deal of my stock
that I received from the Contract and
Finance Company I carried in their
name for a long time. Sometimes years
and when it was transferred it
might have been at the date that
I received it and it might not
have been. It might not have
been for years afterwards but
as to receiving any stock from the
Contract and Finance company after
the Consolidation I have no remembrance
of having received any.

from you to the Contract and Finance
Company for any stock in the
Central Pacific Railroad Company
