Q Did any of the other
directors or officers of the
Company or Shareholders tell
you that Mr Colton's salary
was to be increased from
$100 a month to $400 and $500
a month?

A I never had any conver-
sation with any of the di-
rectors in regard to it. All the
orders with regard to his
salary came directly from
him to me.

Q Do you know whether any
of the other stock holders or
directors, I mean Stanford, C.P. Huntington,
Hopkins or Crocker,
ever knew that his salary
had been increased from
$100 a month to $400 or $500
a month or otherwise?

A No sir; not to my knowledge.

Q Never had any talk
with them about it at all?

A No sir, no conversation
with them about it. I
think there was a resolution
on the books at one time
