recent trial against the Chamberlain
Zublin combination, was one of the
interested spectators at the Floyd trial
yesterday afternoon. He is stock
holder in the Bank OF Minneapolis, and
naturally interested in the disclosures
being made by Scheig. Many people in
the audience knew him: they remem-

noticeable that he wore no diamonds.
The famous Holbrook diamond will go

stand the greater portion of the day,
and Mr.. ByrneS in his cross eXamina-
ton brought him around the continent,
over TO England and back again. The
witness showed disposition during the
day to make it appear as badly as pos
sible for the Floyds. He never missed
an opportunity to declare the boys
never had any money, and that he had
1t all. He spent his money like a
prince, and the others fed upon him.
When court adjourned in the evening
fully fifty women hung about the court
room for chance to see the witness as
he passed out TO the Jail. his hands
manacled and his head hanging down,
probably from shame.
During the forenoon session at the
instance of Mr.. Byrnes he continued his
journey across the country in company
with the Floyds. He said:
I'VE went from Nashville to Guthrie,
KY. on the train and stayed there one
day. We took in the town and bought

What did Lou say when he got

He said we would have to go to New
York TO sail for South America. While
in Oakdale we gave the impression that
we were party of bloodS from Pitts
burg out for hunt. We went back to
Chattanooga by rail. Lou went with the
freight, but Frank and | went sporting
and got left. We met Lou at Atlanta"
You started from Atlanta Oh your

I'VE didn't march. We took freight
train for Charleston. and when we got
there we unloaded. When this had
been done we went out to Hibernian

The friends we had met came out to see

I'VE satisfied them that we were not

A lot OF testimony concerning the ar
rival Of the party in New York was
gone over, and MIR. Bvrnes asked:
did Frank want TO find his mother in
New ork?"
He wanted to telephone to his meth

New York two days and half, and
started for Brazil about 3 o'clock Nov.
l: The accident happened at about s
O'Clock. We remained there all night
and the next day we were towed back
TO port. We stayed on board the boat
for two or three days, and the boys went
up town each day. Frank went up once
or twice and Lou three times. We did
not send for the Minneapolis papers.
When the boys came back they finished
dinner and then went up on board while
l went TO the state room to play the
either. Pretty soon they came down,
and Lou asked me how I'd like to 90 to
Europe. l told him L didn't want to
go. He said the detectives were
on our track and would soon catch
up to US. He said | and Frank
should go to Europe. Lou said that they
wouldn't modest him. They showed me
a clipping from New York paper of
about dozen lines or so. We then
looked up the sailing of the ships for
Europe, and picked on one which left at
O'Clock the next morning. After |
gave him the 500 to buy the tickets
