What do you plead" asked the
Justice, Guilty or not?''
II plead" said the prisoner, '.the
statements are false against me-
The prisoner is rather good looking
fellow, and is very shrewd. During
the examination he listened to every
word, and his eyes snapped as some
thing was said which would tend to
criminate him. Behind him was
Brady. in his shirt sleeves, and bare
| feet. He contrasted strangely with
Hayes, and his face was not as intelli-
gent as the one whom he BRADY
claims did the planning. Prosecutor
| ole tol
and Deputy Lore, who had worked up
the case. was near by. Mr.. Ogden
was the first witness. His testimony
was the same as published a week ago,
concerning the capture of Brady, re-
turn of the clothes, ETC.. but there was
more added to the story. When Mr..
Ogden arrived home from Camden,
after the arrest of Brady, examination
revealed the fact that the articles
spoken of In the charge, had disappear
ed.
Brady next took the oath and told
his story. He said when he first secured
employment at the farm, Hayes was
there, and after they become acquain.
tee the two had several talks about
robbing the house. When Brady
found himself discharged for the season,
he says that dayes told him to come
back from Philadelphia Friday night
and he would leave an outside cellar
door unfastened for him. If he Brady
came, he was to let Hayes know OF his
q ~ ho ~ b
the barn. Brady continued saying
that he went, and after taking nap
in the barn, went down in the cellar
and up in the first room. Then he de-
clares he found the goods he took in a
closet. He took them down cellar put
them in a vaIise, and then repaeked
them in the barn. He went off on the
train and was arrested, as known, by
officers in Camden. He declared he
knew nothing about the money. He
had made arrangements with Hayes
to give him valise and overcoat on
the 17th OF December at the. Walnut
street wharf, Philadelphia. In closing
his testimony Brady declared that
Hayes knew all about the robbery and
did the planning
That's lie" quickly broke in
Hayes turning to Brady his face
flaming up.
The justice was compelled to set
down on Hayes pretty severely.
Frank Lore also gave some testi-
mony which was detrimental TO the
prisoner.
Hayes was then allowed to speak.
He said I'VE spoke of these things, but
| never advised him. For couple of
weeks dia not hook the latch TO the
cellar door. About the stool on the
door, there was d stool near the door
that night, but not on it. I MIXED as
usual that night. and then Mr.. Ogden
told me to go to bed. | know nothing
about the rooms of the house Never
In any of his cupGoards but once |
nave not handled single thing stolen
nor do intend to. Why it was not a
week before this money was stolen
that Mr.. Ogden had only Just enough
money in the house to pay Brady
why did you not tell Mr.. Ogden of
the intended robbery by Brady, if you
knew it p was asked.
II did not tell because Mr.. Ogden
told me to have nothing to do with the
men. l was paid to milk the cows and
keep my mouth Shut" he said II

robbing Mr.. Ogden just before that.

wouldn't tell him. I did not know
Brady had been there, nor do l know
ANYTHING of the goods"
The Justice stated that he would
have to hold the prisoner in $500 for
Court.
Must stay in prison all this timer"
asked Hayes.
"Yes sir"
'Then I'll make it cost Mr.. Ogden
double that sum-"
The Justice cautioned the prisoner.

against him. The fellow then ex-
planned that he meant nothing in the
way Of violence, but his relatives
