and came back to Curt Riddle. told
Curt to give me the money; party
had told me that George had given
him the money; Mr.. Harris told me
so in the presence of George. Curt
gave me the money; 1t was $40; he
said George gave it to him while they
were standing at the bar; said he
hated to give it up, as George owed
him the money. examined the
money, there were eight $40 bills and
one $40 bill. showed the money to
Grimes after had put Oglesby in Jail.
He said he could swear one of the bills
was his and that he was satisfied all
were; he said one corner was torn off
one of the bills and that there were
split places in the money. Oglesby
told me he had made a winning, how
he came to have that monev;didn't say
when he made it. Grimes gave me q
description of the man as follows I:
told me he was heavy-set man, not
quite as tall as myself but little
heavier; had on q light suit of clothes;
either a light or brown mustache;
spoke quick; had on Derby hat and
a light suit of clothes. Grimes told
me the man first came up, went
through Frank Henry first, then came
over to him and searched him for con-
cealed weapons; said his name was
DIR. Montgomery and that he was a
policeman; the first thing he did he
went down in his sock and got the
money without going into his pockets.
Grimes told me he had twenty-siX
$40 bills four or five $40 bills and sew
eral S. bills; that no one knew where
the money was but Henry; that he did
not spend a cent of this money during
the day; but had n plenty
of change in his pocket; said
he had about S575 or 1903.
Frank Henry told me that Geo.
Oglesby was the man who did the
robbing; we were back of HOrseful &
Camerons when he told me this; before
I arrested him, Henry said, George
did it; that he came to him first and
then went over to Grimes and took
the money out of his sock and slapped
him and then.run."
Cross examined by counsel for
Oglesby.
"When I asked Henry if he would
tell me the man if 1 guessed it; he
just said "guess;" he told me to write
or telegraph to certain party and he
could find out who did it; he named
the man as j. T. Green and his adj
dress as in Brown county; I was not
guided by the description given me
by Grimes in making my guess;
Oglesby's name had not been men,
toned in the matter up to that time;
I didn't guess Oglesby; 1 knew at
once who he must mean when he said
J. T. Green; directly after he said
that, I told him knew who it was; I
had heard of Ogelsby having some
trouble with the Green boys; the first
time 1 ever suspected Oglesby was
when Henry told me to write to J. II.
Green; I had heard that the Oglesbys
and the Greens had had some trouble
several years ago; Messrs Harris, Lock-
wood and Sam Hall went with me to
arrest Oglesby; I carried him into
the back room myself; Oglesby said,
when we went to Curt Riddle to get
the money, "By God won that
money" if he said, "if you want it
for evidence give it to him." I didn't
hear him.
Cross examined by counsel for
Henry.
The difficulty between the Oglesbys
and the Greens occurred long time
before the marriage of Oglesby;
Oglesby said, when got the money,
that he didn't want any dam officer
or jailor handling his money; the
money was here offered in evidence;
Mr.. Jenkins identified it rs the same
money that he got from Riddle; he
also pointed out the two bills that
Grimes identified as his, the bill had
n torn place on one end; 1t was on the
First National bank of Lockport, New
York; Grimes said he would swear
positively to this bill; one was silver
certificate which had a slit place or
one end.
