and see an attorney and took advice

"Did you not tell Pew. DIR. Campbell
that you knew Mr.. Leyshon did not
forge your name and did not intend to
commit a crime?"

himself liable to the law; that is the
way meant what said. l thought he
would not defraud me, but would pay
the note before it was due. You must
rememb Der that he was very intimate
friend in our family and we had great
confidence in him until these things
began to come out"
At this point diversion was created
which was much to the discontinue of
the defendant. He turned his chair so
that he could face Mrs. Clark, the
mother of the two women so strangely
placed in bitter antagonism to each
other. AS hs looked at her
the heart broken LADY could not stand
it. Her furrowed features worked con-
vulsively and she could not refrain from
uttering "You scoundrel, you villain"
Then recovering her self-control she
went away to window, while Leyshon
looked anything but comfortable.
In the afternoon counsel asked numer-
Gus questions tending to show that Ley
shon transacted Mre. Henry's business
for her as her agent, but she stoutiy in
sisted that 1t was as a friend that he had
done various things for her.
Attention was called to an article in a
newspaper giving what purported to be
the facts about Miss Nellie Olark's mad
infatuation for the defendant, and Mrs.
Henry denied that she had given the
facts upon which it was based, admit.
ing that her mother was interviewed by
q reporter.
Referring to Mrs. Henry's testimony
that Leyshon had induced her to invest
$l100 in a coal company that never ex-
listed she said that che did not know
that he put dollar of his own money in
1t, and does not believe he put her
money in it. IL was never returned her.
Finally Mr.. Peck produced note for
500 and asked Mrs. Henry il she had
not been on note for that amount with
Leyshon in 1898. had been sued ON it,
and had paid it by giving another note,
producing another note.
The witness explained that O Mr..
Brandt had called on her and said there
was such note. Before that Leyshon
told her that he had needed money and
had signed her name to q note. She was
thunderstruck, but it had been done.
Afterwards Mr.. Leyshon told her that
he had arranged it and she need not
worry about it.
As to the other note, taking up the
first note, in spite OF Mr.. Peck's exag-
gerated Bolicitude that che should be
careful. she emphstically denied that
che had ever signed it or knew of Its ex-
istence until that moment. This seemed
to stagger the defendant, and he nor
vodsly chewed his, iron-grey nous
tache.
Mrs. Henry also denied that she knew
anything of the judgment, but that Ley
shon told her judgment had been OBJ
tanned against him aud she was not CON-
cerned in the matter. She believed
him. No papers were served on her,
although there was a return by an off,
Ger of personal service.
After some further examination q
continuance wac granted by consent. the
hearing to be taken up again when Dis
trict Attorney Dillon Is through with
the train robbery case, which begins to-
day. aast4- sLsEl4oiAs TaAay1
