Mr. Hubert. He was in both?

Mr. Paul. Yes; he was in both.

Mr. Hubert. So, you got him to give you a note to show the $3,700?

Mr. Paul. But when he sold it, I think he sold it for $2,200, or $2,700, but he had to pay so many people that he gave me a thousand.

Mr. Hubert. In other words, when he sold the Silver Spur——

Mr. Paul. I had to give him the note—he couldn’t sell it without the note.

Mr. Hubert. Was the note secured in any way?

Mr. Paul. No; it was registered.

Mr. Hubert. A registered note, which made it a lien against the Silver Spur?

Mr. Paul. That’s right.
