Mr. Adams. — That refers to the suit that was settled and mentioned 

 in Judge Kellogg's affidavit. 



Mr. Anibal. — It refers to that exactly. 



Mr. Adams. — I don't see how that is material. 



Mr. Hessberg. — We produce those on a moment's notice to show 

 the correspondence between Turner and Garmon. 



Chairman Ryan. — I don't see that has anything to do with it. 



Mr. Anibal. — This letter refers to something, January 9, 1888. 



Plattsbubgh, N. T., January 9, 1888. 

 To the Forest Commission of the State of New York: 



Gentlemen. — I understand, through the forest warden, you are to 

 have a full meeting this week Thursday, as I have two applications 

 made to the honorable board that I wish to have disposed of at your 

 first meeting, and if you desire to have me present, you can wire me 

 at Plattsburgh. 



Yours. 



B. TURNER. 



Mr. Adams. — I object to that going in, as immaterial. 



Mr. Anibal. — Showing the interviews Mr. Turner and Mr. Garmon 

 had to corroborate our statement. 



Chairman Ryan. — Explanatory of these letters ? 



Mr. Anibal. — Tes, sir. 



Chairman Ryan. — I think we may consider the evidence closed. 



Mr. Adams. — If you remember a question was raised last night and 

 we offered to submit this bundle of affidavits here in explanation of 

 Mr. Garmon's testimony that he gave last night, a certified set of 

 papers that comes from the Comptroller's office; it is in relation to 

 the suit that was tried at Malone, where lots 219, 221, 222 were the 

 subject of dispute; this is the certified copy of papers filed in the 

 Comptroller's office relating to possession upon those lots; I offer them 

 in evidence. 



Mr. Adams. — I object to that as wholly and entirely immaterial, as 

 not concerning any of the lands. 



Mr. Anibal. — Yes, it is; being a public record from the Comptroller's 

 office. 



Mr. Adams. — I don't see as it has anything whatever to do to affect 

 this matter. 



Mr. Anibal. — I think it has. 



Chairman Ryan. — To stop the dispute, we might take it and let 

 it go.
