How long did it take them to say that
something 7"
Three or four minutes or SOL didn't

THEY GOT MR.. SHORT MAD.
Mr.. Short WINS getting mad and TINT was
what Mr.. Brooke was after, and when Mr..
Short a little later asked that II question Ue
repeated. add ne: " | was not paying strict
attention to YOU, " the willy lawyer Numbered
that IT would TO best for Mr.. Short to pay
attention and asked the Recorder 10 inst ruct

day IL weak. but you have n tolerably good
remembrance of what happened Ave years
ago. sneered Mr.. Brooke,
II nun sorry to say, yes. My memory re-

lnalull. while Mr.. Brooke searched through
the typewriter report of the steuogrnpher
of yesterdays testimony, the graybeard who
had so neatly recalled the preliminary steps
in Ives aud Stayner'B conspiracy turned Ill
his chair, looked inquisitively over the faces
OF the dozen newspaper reporters there. and
asked, with n genial, grandfatherly smile, Of
the nearest scribe: Can YOU remember what
you saw last night aud what they said and
you said?"
A REMINDER IRON CINCINNATI.
The faithful Secretary was recalled to
court realities by Mr.. Brooke, who asked
sternly: Who wrote this affidavit sworn to
by you in the Cincinnati trial Of Ives I"
1t was written at my dlctation.
Every word of these eighty closely type
written pages without any suggestion from
any other person 7"
Every word" responded Mr.. Short. SOL

Then Mr.. Brooke wanted to know about
Mr.. Shorts testimony in q civil suit in Ohio.

nearly one hundred printed octave pages.
Mr.. Short said it was his testimony, and then
MIR. Brooke, with triumph on his face, walked
around the end of the railing with the book
iii his hands. crossed the space occupied by
the prosecutors. and thrusting the open book
under Mr. Shorts eyes. demanded:
- Is that account n part OF your testimony ?
Did YOU swear that it was a true account
taken from the books of the c., II. and ID.
road ~
Yes. sir" replied the witness quietly and
coolly; " but believe TINT l discovered AZ
forwards that there were one or two errors in
it,"
Aye. ave! But You did swear that this
account was true, didn't you!"
The witness stroked his patrinrchnl beard
and smiled calmly. He was not to be upset.
even through MIR. Brooke ostentntiously and
with much flourish offered the book in evil
dence.
C., H. AND D.'s DEBT TO IVES.
MIR. Brooke read with great impressiveness
this account In Mr.. Shorts testimony given
in the Duckwlth suit. 1t showed that the g.,
H.. and ID. had overdrawn its account with
Henry S. Ives & Co. TO the extent of
1922. 42s. 80, and Mr.. Brooke would have the
Jury believe that this money represented the
money which Ives paid for the stock, which
it is alleged was an over issue.
Then Mr.. Brooke called attention again to
Mr.. Shorts affidavit in the Cincinnati trial of
Ives, in which Mr.. Short swore that no money

hut he wonld not permit Mr.. Short 20 explain
that the testimony in the Duckworth case
had been made on the accounts ns he found
accounts had been kept straight. and in the
Duckworth case be had only presented the
result of his examination OF the books.
BROOKE GAINS A POINT.
Mr.. Brooke, was triumphant, but the conf
dent bearing of Col. Fellows and his lieu.
began to to form on the pallid face of Ives.
and his effort to brighten up was a dismal
failure.
Somehow. young Napoleon Ives acted all
day as # he had a premonition that his
Waterloo had come and that the Iron Duke
was swooprnC down on his valiants with
irresistible force.
WHY SHORT RESIGNED.
Mr.. Brooke tried TO get Mr.. Short to say
that Ives made julius Dexter n stakeholder

and Woodruff. and LETT the stockholders free
to elect Mr.. Dexter to the Presidency OF the
