Foster under cross examination on harbor bill fund
The cross examination revealed that Lester Foster did not deposit 275 dollars collected for counsel for the harbor bill, citing financial difficulties and pending court judgments. He claimed to have carried the money and could repay contributors when no counsel was needed, denying using any part of it. He also discussed Little River funds, hiring an attorney, and a 25 dollar contribution, with further testimony expected.
