bed. that would be q separatloni We Wsfe
at Bessie Magees q good while; we were
there after we left the Ross street house,
the gentlemen who say Wie6elds was the
last place are mistaken; an hour Is not
very long time when one IS out on an IN
suection of that kind; the visit at the koss
street house was not necessarily brlet
when compared with fifteen or twenty MIN
utes; we did not get the statement down
that fine; we wanted to show Chief Smith
the houses; he might have seen come one
from Wheeling whom he wanted; We took
Ia all the houses We COULD !
knew the chsrge-the eighth-was not
true. and endorsed the letter; did not
know at the time it was to be published;
fornd out when received copy OF the
Iutellieencer with the paper in 1t; Tor
wezch to sit on mans knee is not I'M
proper in house of that kind you ought
| To do in Rome as the Romans dol you
are inclined that way; pulled the black
one on my knee to get her to go ana SIT
ON Grubb's knee; she started, but tsltereo;
| I don't know how long after the beer was
ordered; / noticed several decline to
drink; some Of the beer was not ut for q
hog 70 drink, but we paid for il all the
sane: Cspt. Smith declined to drink; ne
| ia the only one / am sure of; they torced
beer on him and be set il back on
the table; from the appearances OF the
tray none of the party drank enough 10
strsngle them.
| To Hubbard
Il is pretty near customary when gang
poes into that kind of house to buy q
bottle of beer, the women cant keep up
their surroundings on air; people often
buy the beer Just to spend the money and
help the girls along; no, the glasses are
not big--they don't amount TO good
sized pony;I saw Smith hanging back
once; il was when We came out OF DAISY
Hutchinson's; there were two or three Of
the party back with him.
To Arneti:-
Some one asked me where Chief Smith
was, end said thought he had caught q
girl; there we're two or three others Win
them; he came along after while.
BARNEY STANLEY.
To Hubbard
u / was summoned by the prosecution, bu
was excused; my impression OF the triE
was that it was merely for sight seeing; Il
the best of my recollection Grub was no
intoxicated; / saw nothing OF taking GIRL
on his knee; have no recollection OF any
one retiring to room.
To White
| don't remember seeing Of anything o
that sort; the question was in regard to re
firing from the room; do not remember
Of his going out; he might have stepped
into the ball tour or Eve times without N!
seeing him; do not know Of him beinG
out az all; to the best of my knowledge
: did not see a woman on his knee; 1t II
possible that it happened; l mean 1t Nigh
have occurred and not SCENT; IT is posi-
BILE that such thing might have happened
for three minutes; it is barely possible
could have continued for FIVE minutes; tina
is a good while for man to have woman
! ON his knee in the same room With us
don't like 10 cay 1t Is more thar
possible for a man to have beer
out of the room FIVE minutes; l think
have about gone to the limit on minutes;
| decline 10 sew whether Mr.. Hamilton wal
out of the house FIVE minutes or not; | d.
not know that Mr.. Hamilton is on trial; II
regard to Chief Blsckmore. ! would giv'
the same answer as in regard to Mr.. ham
ilton; did not see single male go init
the hall; ] think saw woman 60 OUT
don't know who it was; | don't know ih'
madame; / have no actual knowledge o
how the beer came in; think it came il
on q ,ray; / don't think much Of it wen
out; think the largest part stayed In th'
house; l did not see any one pay Tor thu
beer; l only saw two bottles come IN
DO not remember OF seeing tn
black or liver-colored woman go out
think saw the black woman
do something-she walked across the floor
did not see any effort to get the blscl
woman to 90 to the Mayor; don't remem
Der of laugh caused by the Mayor rails
ing his hands and feet; remember hin
doing something of that kind; recollect
woman going towards the Mayor, and
think saw him push her away; it is pos
sible for a woman to have been on his LAY
and not know it; have no idea OF how
many places we went 10; did not count
them; my impression Is that the Colorec
house was the last place, my best recollec
ton is that we were in the house about
thirty minutes; l think the detective wGs
incorrect as to the time | have nothing or
which to base an opinion except simple
recollection; think we stayed at one
other ouse about as long; am not sure
what house it was; don't know what
time we went 10 the Ross street house;
am not assuming anything, Colonel;
don't know who proposed the trip.
Mr.. Miller-Did | understand you cor
rsctly when sou said to me it was the first
time you had ever visited suvh houses, and
that you did not think you would ever 60
again?
Shanley-Thats prett; correct; think
Blsckmoie proposed the tip. | said
would like to 90 othe engine houses also
as was o member CT the Committee on
Fire Department. There was something
said at the City Hall about the trip, and
acquiesoed, rs did the others.
TO White
We Olu LOl BSG " lhO AsOoo otASSb AOuoc
till late; we could not stsy long; We might
have gotten away in ten minutes if we had
wished; did not see Mapor Grub leave
the room until we all went out together; !
saw NJ. hamilton in the hall; if you cali
that broken" ! suppose the party was
broken; did not see the party broken
for Hema I; abcpt tbs statsment-I an
not certifying to The statement; | an only
telling what saw.
To the committee
/ desire 10 make a statement. On my
way from Piedmont, to-day, | saw the
Wheeling papers and observed that my
name had been hauled over the cosls pret-
ty lively b. acme ons. | want to say that
| went to the houses for the purpose
of getting Information. AT that
time l expected to be appointed
Deputy initial States Marshal
as | afterwards was, and thought could
get some ipfornstiou which night be Of
