| Text | [an interview of P. J. Daily, of Boston] About the latter part of July—I think it was July 26th—I received an order for $100 from Jones, of the Boston Club. The order was dated the above day—the 26th—and was in lieu of money I loaned Jones, who at one time said he wished to redeem a watch. The order was on Mr. Long, Treasurer of the Boston Club. On the Wednesday prior to the departure of the Boston Club I met Mr. Long at the store of Wright & Howland, this city [Boston], and presented the order to him for payment. I asked if he could pay it then. He told me to come up to the game between the Chicagos and Bostons, the next day, on the Boston grounds. I went as he requested. This was on Thursday, August 5th, I am pretty sure. I saw Mr. Long at the grounds. He asked me if $50 on the order would be accepted at that time. I said yes, and he gave me that amount on the Saturday afternoon following, August 7th. I sent a young man up to the grounds where the Chicagos and Bostons were again to play to see Mr. Long and get the $50 still remaining due on the order. Mr. Long paid the balance due that same afternoon to my messenger. On the day I saw Mr. Long at Wright & Howland's store, I asked if the payment of the order depended on the gate receipts and attendance at the game between the Chicagos and Bostons that week. He gave me to understand or intimated that in a measure it did. In the latter part of July Jones told me that the Boston Club was in arrears to him to the amount of about $2100. Jones also told me that he was obliged to give the proprietor of the Metropolitan Hotel, where he boarded, an order on the Boston Club for board due, and that he had been obliged to take this course on account of the backwardness of the Boston Club to pay what they owed him. |
