Q. You have been asked if you believed that at that time Dr. Harlow knew of this irregularity of Mr. Leighton's. I suppose it is proper for you to give the grounds on which you then believed it.
A. I stated it fully Mip Carruthers told me that in 1871 he told Dr. Harlow that Mr. Leighton had not accounted to the state for between two and three hundred dollars of the dry goods he sold. I asked Dr. Harlow if he had any suspicion of anything wrong about Leightons accounts, he said he had not the slightest in the world. I then asked him if he had not had any reason to believe that there was anything wrong. He said he had not. I asked him if in 1871 Mip Carruthers did not tell him about this fact, and he said he believed now that I mentioned it that she did, he said you know that she is not just right, she was put into the hospital as a patient.
Q. If you believed that at the time, why did you not say anything about it in the report?
A. We were looking after Leighton particularly at that time. I thought it was more the duty of the trustees to examine Leighton's accounts than it was
