he welcomed Mrs. Baum with the remark that he

MEYER SUGGESTED HER ANswEEs
Most OF her answers seemed to BE- suggested by
Meyer. and finally Mr.. Gillette turned to him and
desired to know who he was AMI where he came
from lie described himself as a friend Of Mrs
Baum and one who had known Baum for many
years. lie undertook to give some particulars Of
Bsums re. but even be d1 not seem very certain

@ he G6 had 9e found NbeT Ss had S 2eoT
Chicago and had received from there articles Of
other things. wherein the name of enc Dr. Meyer
constantly occurred They became excited at this
disclosure and much confused VIXEN he asked them
II they knew who Or Meyer was. Both said no.
they had never heard Of him. Mr. Gillette told
them that he had been making Inquiries about
Meyer and that he seemed to be OF disreputable
character at which point Mrs. Meyer said that she
thought she going to faint and 1t really seemed
to Mr. Gillette II she were likely to do So Upoa
her partial recovery she and Meyer said they had to
tem to produce any and sS
person who could clear up the mystery about Baum,
and they would get the money. But they had
never returned and no further effort had been made
to collect the insurance. Mr. G!ilettes cross-ex-
animation Will proceed when the court opens to-
day. He is man OF great intelligence and 1t was
entirely evident that he knew Just what he was say
irr.
The events Of the day, taken together, left this
situation clear: The scheme to swndle the In
surance companies can scarcely b. successfully de-
MED Nor is there much hope OF disproving any OF
Nulet's story. except that relating to the events
In the nat, or which he. Meyer. Mrs. Never and the
dead mon were the only witnesses What can be
done WIEN them Is the mystery OF the defence, and
It offers a wide field for weird and grewsome specu
