On my part, men of
the jury, in addition to the deposition which I have produced before you of
those who at the time were serving as clerks in the bank and who paid the money
to the persons to whom Timotheus bade them pay it, I was ready also to confirm
my statements by an oath, which the clerk will read to you.“
Oath
”Now, men of the jury, my father not only
wrote out and left to me a record of his credits, but also during his illness
told me of each particular debt that was due to him, the person in whose
possession the money was, and the purpose for which it was received; and he made
these statements to my brother also. To prove that I am speaking the truth in
this, read, please, the deposition of my brother.“
Deposition
