Thompson, lives in Missouri, cannot be found. Depo of Friend Carter (16 Nov. 1877 At the farm of Joseph Warren)ageabout 64 years old. I have known Gabriel Warren about 15 years. Ilive1/2 mile from the land in contest. There's about 80 acres. Icarried thechain to run the land. The land was owned by Bill Thompson.JeremiahSkaggs and his boys have been cultivating the land 10 to 15years.Sometimes Skaggs claims it and sometimes Gabe Warren claims it. Gabriel Warren denies that Jeremiah Skaggs purchased the tractincontroversy from William C. Thompson. Jeremiah's wife isGabriel'ssister. Skaggs became involved in debt and owed Gen. W. T.Ward anattorney fee. He purchased 50 acres from Skaggs many years agoand paidhim, and Skaggs paid the money to Ward. Afterwards, on --Feb.,1862, heexchanged the 50 acres to W. C. Thompson for the 80 acres inthis suitand Thompson gave him a title bond. He brought suit againstThompson forthe deed. Skaggs and his sister were without a home so helet them liveon the land for 3 or 4 years. He told his sister that ifshe would paythe taxes on the land that she might tend a portion ofthe land. Skaggshas not lived on the land for 16-18 years. He haspermitted Skaggs andwife to tend a portion as agreed. It is wrong forHillary Johnston tocharge fraud on him or any other person in coveringup their property toprevent creditors from making their debts. Heforgot that people who livein glass houses ought not the throw stones. Depo. of Jeremy Skaggs (13 Nov., 1877) age 65 or 68; reside in Green County. I am the defendant in the suit.Ihave never purchased any land from W. C. Thompson and I don't own the80acres in question. I don't own any land at all. I owned 50 acresabout1860-1861 and I sold it to Gabe Warren for $125. Isham Thompsonlives onit now. I lived on the land about 5 years under a lease fromGabrielWarren. I left there about 5 years ago. I now live on the landof my sonAlfred Skaggs, and have for over 10 years. My wife pays thetaxes on the80 acres. She was to pay them and tend the land andimprove it forthe-----
