Moen Subtitle Public as Much in
the Dark as Ever Regarding the True
Inwardness of MOen's and Wilson'S
| Relations.
Boston, Nov. 12.-In the Wilson, oen
case this morning the cross examination of
| the defendant was resumed. Mr.. Moen tes-
| titled. that he did not make up his mind to
| lend Wilson the 500, 0ees came to Boston to
| avoid Wilson; could not say what part of the
| conversation induced him to lend Wilson
the money; yielded to the common impor-
| tunity to which he had often yielded before.
| Did not testify at the last trial that ne had
| lent Wilson 100000 for friendship; never
had any friendship for Wilson. Made out
glees' attorney to make sure that the money
| went in the right direction. The publicity
| was very disagreeable and witness would
have paid large amounts to have the matter
| settled. Witness here testified as to tele-
grams etc. land to the interviews at his house
between Wilson and Congressman Rice when
the former was informed that he should have
no more money. Nothing new was elected
Witness first met Wilson in 1875. Wilson
told witness that he had certain false infor-
nation and yet witness gave him 500, 200.
Wished often since that he had handed Will
son over to the police. Has been sorry ever
since that he gave Wilson that 500 or other
moneys. Gave Wilson letter of introduce
ton to Mr.. Justice, of London, recommend
ing him to that gentleman's kind Offices.
Wilson went to Europe with his alleged wife
and her sister. Witness gave Wilson the
money to make the trip. It was entirely
on Wilson's own suggestion that witness
loaned him that money. Wilson returned in
about five months, saying the climate of
England was horrible. Believed Wilson at
the time, but has been very sorry many
times since that he placed any confidence
in Wilson or intrusted him with any money.
letter purported to be signed by Levi
Wilson was shown witness. Witness under
stood by the threat therein contained that
Wilson would have his brothers swear to
anything, and would expose the disgraceful
thing he claimed to know Of Never thought
of handing that letter over to the police for
them to arrest Wilson. Witness traced in
his books many of the loans made by him to
Wilson and the assignment of a certain pa
tent made by Wilson to Moen was put in and
identified by witness as being in his hand
writing.
Mr.. Moen continued: This patent was for
a new process of bleaching cotton. It was
not an assignment of patent that only ex-
ist d in the mind of witness; 900 was
paid to Wilson for three eighths of the pa
tent. Wilson gave five demand notes to I
witness for $40, 900 each. Never tried to OBJ
tain payment of those notes from Wilson
Wilson never paid item. Did not think he
ever told any person that his relations with
Wilson were of strictly business character
Knew Mr.. Warren of Worcester, but never
told him that all his relations with Wilson
were of a legitimate business character.
At II 80 o'clock Mr.. Moen left the witness
stand, having finished his testimony without
divulging the mysterious secret for the keep
ing of which Wilson has already received
from Moen quarter of a million of money.
Congressman w. w. Rice was called and
described the interview in Moen's house.
Gave Wilson $40, 900 in bills for the check
Mr. Moen had sent him. Witness first in
terview with Wilson was in April, 1888, when
Wilson called at his house and demanded $16,-
600 which he asserted had been promised
him saying "You cannot bully me. You
had better pay me the money or [ will send
P. S. Moen to prison" Witness sent him
from the house. Never made Wilson any
offer to settle for any amount. The cross |
examination ELECTED no new facts.

Fire Insurance company and two other wit |
noSSeS ld6nt1A6Q wilson s signature.
The court then took a recess.
After recess the suit was resumed. Miss
Hattie Englee, of Providence, testified that
she lived with Wilson his wife from June,
1876, to November, 1880. Knew that he al
ways could sign his name from the time she |
went to live with him; recognized his sigma |
ture in various letters which were handed |
her and recognized one letter which she said |
was written entirely in Wilson's writing. |
Letters to Mr.. Rice from Wilson were read; |
one dated October &, 1882, in which Wilson |
asked to meet Mr.. Rice at Young's Hotel, |
Boston, on October q. In another letter |
he said: sI have thought the matter |
over and Mr.. Moen must do one
of two things-pay me $4,000 |
or I will do as 1 threatened" Another said: |
"Please advise me at once whether Mr.. |
Moen is to settle or not if not l shall enter |
suit against him" Miss Englee recognized |
Wilson's signature to an application for in |
surancs. Other insurance papers were put |
on in which the witness recognized the sig |
nature of Levi Wilson. Miss Englee said she |
FIRST saw Mr.. Moen at the first trial. Wilson |
never asked her to go to England to stay or |
asked her to keep away from Moen. She |
went to England with HIM at his request. |
not to trouble Mr.. Moen. When |
Wilson signed his name in her pres
ence; she never assisted him and never saw /
him assisted. Never had spoken to Mr.. |
Moen in her life nor he to her. She had |
brought suit against Wilson in July. 1882,
and the suit was settled. Mr.. Wilson never /
told her that Mr.. Moen wanted her to move /
out west and that Mr. Moen wanted to get /
the Englees away from him. On cross .ex-
animation Miss Englee said she had seen |
Wilson write his name several times and |
write letters. The last time she remembered |
having seen him write a letter was while they
were in Europe in 1880. She had received
letters from him in his handwriting in 1877
when he was in Florida. Miss Englee's sis
ter wrote for Wilson from 1875 to 1879. Had
seen him practice writing his name in 1876
and frequently saw his signature ct this time
Mr. Moen for Mr.. Wilson, as Mr.. Wilson said
she had done.
City Marshal brennan testified that Moen
in thanking him for sending officers to the
house on the occasion of Wilson's demand
for more money assured him that the diff
Guilty with Wilson was of purely business
nature A. D. Warren, of Worcester, testi
fed that Moen told him the same as he had |
told brennan. W. G.. SibIey and II. B. |
Hayes corroborated Wilson's statement that
when Moen called at the Englees' house he
asked for ssthose letters" Cora Englee and
Mrs. Englee testified that sibley and Hayes
were not present on the occasion referred to.
This ended the testimony. The case was
until Tuesday for argument.
