there was anything to showthat the
syndicatelwas in any way obligated to
take the bonds of the Alton before
September, 1899_
“Does any record of such obligation
exist anywhere?" he named.
The witness knew of no such rec-

the bonds at 65. “You'll have to seek
that information elsewhere,” he said.

Rockefeller already in evldcncc.
”The sale was made on a reciprocal
agreement made with Mr. Rockefeller"
said the witness, “by which Mr. Rocke-
feller could sell us the stock back on
May 1. 1904. if hc desired at. the sumo

MI. Kellogg thcu passed to the
Southern Pacific and the operations
by which the Union Pacific interests
acquired its holdings “Why did you
buy just a little less than thc majority
of that stock?“ he asked.
Mr. Hurrlluuh rcnlicd that for thcir
pquosts it was as suiticicnt as :I nub

was that this original pmchasc of tilt
Southern Pacific was not all acquired
from the Huntington estate, but of this
he was not sIIIc‘.

the witness. "was I) protective memo
