I met them for the first time when we were across the lake, around Covington, La.--the three boys and Marguerite, and Pic--no; I mean Ekdahl; that was before she married him. Mr. JENNER. Mr. Ekdahl was over there with them? Mr. EVANS. Yes. Mr. JENNER. Do you know where Mr. Ekdahl was from? Mr. EVANS. From Boston. That was the first time I ever saw any of the boys. Mr. JENNER. They were then living over in Covington, and that was during the summer, is that right? Mr. EVANS. That's right. Mr. JENNER. Do you know what that address was over there? Mr. EVANS.

Now, there are two addresses given for that place, 611 West 24th Street, Covington, La., and 311 Vermont Street, is that right? Mr. EVANS. Well, I don't know the address. We didn't go to the house.

Yes, he was there, and I talked to him. He was a lot older than she was, you know. Mr. JENNER. Mr. Ekdahl was a lot older than Marguerite? Mr. EVANS. Yes; he was. Mr. JENNER. What was your impression of Mr. Ekdahl at that time? Mr. EVANS. Very well; a fine gentleman, well educated. He seemed to know his business. He talked about rocks and ore and things like that, and I enjoyed talking to him. That's the only time I have ever seen him. Mr. JENNER. I forgot, Mr. Evans, but you did receive a letter from Mr. Rankin, general counsel for the Commission, did you not? Mr. EVANS. Yes, sir.
