I, T. S. McCaughan, of said county and State, being first duly sword, depose and say, that I desire to correct my evidence as given before the committee of the General Assembly of Iowa for the investigation of the conduct of the Fort Madison penitentiary, as follows: Upon examination of some five or six charges for blankets billed to merchants, I find the average weight to have been about six pounds per pair. These charges are in the year 1877, but are for the same kind of blankets as those furnished warden Craig, and were, so far as I know, or have any reason to believe, of about the same weight as those furnished Dr. Craig. I bave also weighed one pair of the same blankets, which is the only pair I know of that has not been used, and which is now on hands in the store of Pitzer & McCaughan, and find the weight of that pair to be five and thirteen sixteenths pounds. Upon reflection, I now remember that White, Munger & Co. did not ship to the pénitentiary any of the lowest grade of blankets made by them. I have had no conversation whatever with any other member of the old firm of White, Munger & Co. in relation to these matters, but make these corrections, because, upon reflection, I thought they ought to be made, so that my evidence should more nearly correspond with the facts. T. S. McCaUGHAN, Subscribed and sworn to before me, and in my presence, by said affiant, T. S. McCaughan, this 22d day of March, 1878. [L. 8.] Witness my hand and notarial seal, the day and year aforesaid. A. R. Dabney, Notary Public, Madison County, Iowa. INDEX. .... PAGE. ... ACCOUNTS AND ACCOUNT-BOOKS-S. H.
