said he was not such fool as to say
anything of the kind. Mr.. Davis then
asked him if Peter did not make certain
answers TO Il number of questions,
which he proceeded TO read, and which
the witness answered III the affirmative.

North side police station when Peter
Barrett was examined. | was one OF
the party who brought him from Omaha.
We took him OFF the train at Washing

We had the train stop there so we
would not have to go to the depot.
When we got to the station we found
Police Commissioner Hoy, Mr.. Jamison
and Supt. Helm at the station waiting
for us.
Il did not say anything to Peter while
at the station. Detective Kinney had a
bottle of whisky. Some of the officers
drank part of it; l did not. Robert
.Jamison, Michael Hoy, John Hoy,
Supt. Hoy, James IIanllinson, Luke
Kinney and myself were in the room.

the next room. did not say anything
about mob, but believe Hoy did"

to him that he read to ,Jamison and re-
celved the same answers.

sworn. He testified: Il went to the
station with Supt. Helm: there was no
one there when we arrived, except the
Jaiier. Soon after our arrival JamisOn
came, and after awhile the officers came
with the defendant. Kinney had a bot
tie of whisky and | drank some of it
and the others drank some. The same
questions were then ;SkCd him that had
been asked Jamison and Howard, but
part of them he said he did not remem-
Der hearing asked.

party who brought the defendant from
Omaha. | did not promise to let him go
If he would tell who committed the
murder. | told him when he asked me
why he was brought to the upper sta
ton that it was because there was no
telling what the street car drivers might
do. | don't think the defendant was
any worse scared than he is now. Mr..
,lamiSon asked the questions, so that
the answers would be yes or no. Some
of the questions were asked different.
Peter denied knowing anything about
the murder when we examined him.
