I was able to account for the entire fund to the satisfaction of the court. This result, however, did not satisfy General Belknap, who caused the United States to sue me for the entire fund. That suit was brought against me after I had gone to Oregon and taken command of the Department of the Columbia. The case was continued in the United States District Court of Oregon, by formal postponement on the motion of the United States district attorney, for two years. At last the case was transferrOregon, by formal postponement on the motion of the United States district attorney, for two years.

He had married a young girl who was already, though not more than fifteen yeaption, having invited public men from the territory of Washington and the State of Oregon to meet him.
