Joseph Boscowitz (cross-examination — continued) : 



"Q. About the putting in of those claims — you remember in 1887 

 when these schooners came back from seizure — when were the first 

 claims made against the United States Government, and where 1 ? — A. 

 I think they were made up here. 



"Q. Do you remember anything about those claims"? — A. I don't 

 recollect very much about it. Capt. Warren, I think, and some of the 

 other sealers got together and made them up. 



"Q. Did you ever see the claims? — A. J think I did. 



"Q. You say that Warren and some of the sealers got together and 

 made them up"? — A. I think that is the way it was done, and he went 

 forward with them to Ottawa. 



"Q. Are you sure about that? — A. Yes; pretty certain. 



"Q. Did Capt. Warren take the claims to Ottawa? — A. Yes. 



"Q. They were made up here? — A. Yes. 



" Q. We will go back to these claims — the Grace the Dolphin, the 

 Sayward, and Anna Bed- — they were in 1887? — A. Yes. 



" Q. You saw those claims here after they were made up? — A. Yes. 



" Q. Were they made up simply in your name? — A. No; simply a 

 memorandum. I think I have got the memorandum of it. 



" Q. Do you know in whose name they were preferred? — A. I heard 

 that when Capt. Warren returned 



" Q. I am not talking about other claims. — A. No; I told him they 

 should be put forward in my name. 



" Q. Didn't you see these first claims before they went forward to 

 Ottawa? — A. Simply a memorandum. 



" Q. You swear you did not have the claims and made them up your- 

 self?— A. I think so. 



u Q. Those are the first set of claims that went, your lordship. The 

 revision of these claims came afterwards? 



Witness. Yes; Capt. Warren took them on, I think. 



" Q. I think you are wrong about that. — A. I don't recollect, but I 

 think he went on with them. 



"Q. Anyway, he went on to Ottawa? — A. Yes. 



"Q. To revise those claims? — A. Well, we supposed they were made 

 out perfectly ; and when he got there — I think he went on to New York 

 and had a lawyer and revised them there, and then he w r ent back to 

 Ottawa — and I thought you had something to do with that. 



U Q. You don't remember so very much about the claim that went in 

 at first? — A. I think I have just got a memorandum in Capt. Warren's 

 handwriting of each schooner. 



"Q. Hadn't you those claims made out in the name of the registered 

 owner? — A. No, never; he had no interest in them. 



" Q. You have also sworn that you paid Capt. Warren's expenses to 

 Ottawa? — A. Yes, 1 gave him money. 



" Q. Did you charge it to him? — A. I think it is charged. 



"Q. That is the way you paid it? — A. Charged it to the sealing ac- 

 count— $650.00 to New York— $650.00 to New York, and I gave him the 

 money to go with, and then when he came back there was a division 

 among all the sealers, and each one paid his proportion in cash. 



"Q. But the money you advanced him to go there you charged 

 him? — A. I did, and he has got credit for it in his account — the sealing 

 account.
