I found the bag which I produced in court, in it I found some pieces of silk, produced which stolen from the house of Mr. J.D. Pemberton corresponded with some stolen from the house of Mr.J.D. Pemberton sometime since the prisoner Kim Foo told me at the time he was arrested that the bag was his property. I charged the prisoner Kim Foo with receving the silk well knowing the same to have been stolen. (Signed ) Arthur Taylor Sworn before me the day and date first before written. (Signed ) A Pemberton
