ne was willing to agree TO my proposition
provided | would 90 to Captain DoveneI
and see il could get the thing out of TIE
Court. / went to Captain Dovener, and
asked him about il, and he said there were
three ways of doing it: First, to skip out
another way was to plead guilty and throw
himself upon the mercy of the Court, and
another way would be for him to employ a
lawyer and stand 4 trial 1t was some
thing like that. This is all he suggested
we could do. OF course,l didn't go to Mr..
List any more.
Q.-What | wanted to ask you was, for
what amount was the deed given! Al
was talking TO Captain Dovener, and
Harry came in and said the property was
TO be decided back TO him on his paying
3, 900, and Captain Doverner said that was
so. If the 5000 is paid, you get your
property back
Q.-Mr. Rosenberg, one more question.
When you went to the bank what was your
puspose and object. An arrangement with
reference to Harry. Objection by Cap
tain Dovener. and motion to strike out. }
Ayes.
OIL would like you to state, Mr. Rosen-
berg, what, if anything, occurred with the
officers of the bank, as to his coming back.
II he was to be taken back or not. What
was to be done. Al suggested that
would 90 on his bond, so that there could
be no trouble herafter in his dealings with
the bank. Mr.. List agreed to that, but
wanted to get the thing out of Court. He
said this with tears running down his face.
He said The liked Harry very much; he
didn't want him prosecuted; he thought it
could be fixed up in different way.
BY Captain Dovener. -Q.-Mr. Rosen-
berg, when YOU and Harry were in my
Office, you stated that Mr.. List said that if
Harry got clear of the Court he was will
| ing TO take him back if a bond was given
TO indemnify the bank against any further
| losses! Ale asked what he should do,
Q.-And | said if he went away, he was
underbond, and il. would be forfeited an
other way would be to plead guilty, and
| if he thought he could show his innocence,
to get a good lawyer: Didn't l. Ayes;
O.-Now, didn't you-haven't you said
something about why Harry Seybold came
to 90 away: objection; sustained.
Odd you tell George Ankle, on the
corner of Fourteenth and Market streets,
about three weeks after Harry Seybold
went away,..that he had gone away, and
that it was because Col. Arnett had told
him TO. and that inside of six months he
could return, Col. Arnett, interrupting
If YOU are going into matters of that sort,
some one is going 10 get sick.
Captain Dovener-All right; let's all get
sick, then

sustained, and the defense here rested.
