DO you know any other reason why

Sandow 90
The defendant was heard to say that in
1889 SRndow was supposed to have de-
feated Samson in London. On that occa-
sion bogus chain was thrown on the stage
Dy lady in box. The show was mall a
fake"
ANY other reason?''
Montgomery hesitated a moment. and
lien, transfxing his rival with glance,
he said: Yes. sir. l have a reason-a
good one. too. Frederick Sande got
horsewhipping in New York from
woman-Lurline, the water queen. L
didn't get no hOrsewhipping In my NE.
and l wasn't going to be mixed up with
anybody that does. especially from
woman"
This answer caused some confusion IN
court, and all eyes were directed TO Eugen'
de bore scrutiny fairly we'll. however,
and the proceedings were resumed.
Sandowe stated that he arrived In San
francisco six weeks before Sanjow. Both
mere and in other parts of the States ne
relied upon the opinion of the press, ana
had paid for DO lads" He had nothing
to do with his own advertising.
Have you ever advertised yourself as
Sandow ."
i've tried not to do so. When some
one has done that for me. I've toll them
on the street l told every one could
hold up without taking them by the shoul-
der and being locked up."
The defendant then entered into some
interesting descriptions of eulogistic artl-
Giles upon his proves that mad appeared
in the Chicago Blade and other great
papers. In one paper there appeared
an article written by the defendant him
self upon Modern Samsons." in which
audaclous counterfeits OF himself were
mercilessly scourged. In programmes
throughout the States he was referred to
as she English champion-nO German.
1.-The oak of old England" and 50 forth.
Where did you last see Sandow In
England?"
''In Liverpool, before left for America.
He wished me well. gave me photo ana
drank my beer that l paid for. On, we
were friends then, you bet. He was only
Sandow then. with no horses and aids-de-
camp. de had no princes as servants.
But he don't know me now"
The crOss-examination of this witness
resolved itself into a pitched battle be-
tween himself and Andy Clunie, who
vainly sought to pin him to certain state
ments. You can't catch me" was thede-
PENDANTS open boast. He was asked
where he first performed as "Sandown."
"In England, Scotland. Wales, Bethle-
hem and Judea," was the reply.
1t came out that the defendant was in
the army, as staff-nstructor to the
Household Brigade, Guards. England.
London" BE was out with the army 10
the Egyptian campaign. and tried TO bring
Gordon from Khartoum. While there he
performed before the Khedive and a rsjah
or two
Andy Clunie tried 10 find out how the
witness continued 10 give athletic per-
fOImances while in the army, such exhibit
tions being against the rules. But the Ge-
PENDANT either could not or would not give
direct answers. You can't catch me-" he
said.
But 1t was over the change Of his name
to Sandowe that there was trouble. After
some beating about the bush he said that
he was induced TO make the change in
Brkenhead, Cheshire. England. He was
performing there and some one told him
that his name might be mistaken on post
eFs Tor Sandown Park.
Now you've told US that. How far is
SandOwn Park from Birkenheadp"
The witness first said two or three hun
bred miles aud then halted, when Andy
Clunie asked him what fear of a mistake
there could be at such distance.
II don't know how far it is" he then
said. ITS not far, that's all / know"
He forgot about that time that it was 1.-TWO
or three hundred miles,"
Andy Clunie tried to get more definite
answer, but it was no use. So something
else was tried. Montgomery said be had
medals. diplomas and all sorts of things,
and that they were with bis mother at
home.
The afternoon proceedings were prafaced
by scrap of words between partisans on
either side. Two were going to settle
their differences on the outside, and Tim
othy J. Crowley offered to be referee, but
one STAYED behind, and the Judge enter
ing order was restored. Clerk Kilduff and
Bailitf Martin had their hands full, though,
for a moment or two, and matters looked
ugly.
CrOss-examinationr resumed. the defend
ant said that he was Is years Of age when
he entered the army. He boxed and fenced
at SandOwn Park, hence the assumption
OF the name. He had no bill Of that en-
gagemeht, as all was against the law, con-
seOuently strictly sub rosa
The witness waxed exceeding wro th
when asked if he copied SsndOw's photo
graph. He denied that he curled his hair,
toe, after Sandow. I'D rather be seen
dead than do anything of that sort"
Finally he was permitted to retire.
A number of persons. including Pat
rick Miller. testified to having known
tho defendant in England and Amer
lea as Sandowe; after which the case
came to an abrupt termination. Counsel
will argue on behalf OF their respective
champions on Monday morning next.
