His rival Eugen, was attired in a sum-

fatigue, but Timothy j.. Crowley was as
red and erect as ever.
Proceedings resumed. n. F. Bussac,
theatrical manager, said he knew Eugen
SandOw. He also heard OF the defendant
coming 10 New York TO perform. lie was
called SandOw. but not the genuine article.
"DOn't YOU know. sir, that the defend
ant was in AmericG two years before the
plaintiff" asked Timothy j. Crowley in
cross-eXamination.
No. sir. | do not. l know nothing
about him except what / have stated, -
was the emphatic answer.
Maurice MarSden had seen SandOw per-
form at the Aquarium in London in 1889.
He never heard OF Montgomery; didn't
know there was such person.
Big Joe McAuliffe admitted that he was
a prizs-fghter at first, bat took this back
on second thought and characterized him
self as boxing contestant. He identified
Eugen Sanduw, as having met him in
London in 1890 at the Office OF the Sport
ing Life. He had heard of Montgomery
by name as Montgomery. but he didn't
know who he was.
CrOsS-eXaminPd, McAuliffe said he was
not dong anything just now.
How long have you been that way?"
demanded Timothy. but the question was
ruled out.
Then came Herman Pollak of Pollak's
Cosmopolitan Advertising Agency, poly
glOt concern established in = this city.
Added to these titles the witness said he
was Hungarian. HIS accent and his
ready answers, especially under cross
examination, gave rise to such amusement
thaI the denSely packed courtroom fairly
shook with laughter from time to time.
Judge Slack tried tn look. severe. but it
was not an OverpOwering success that he
made of IL.
"When did you first know Sandow?'
''In Cologne in the winter of 1SS45."
Under what name did he perform
there?"
"As S-a-n-d-o-w-'Zando.' He gave some
very beautiful feats, and was the lion of
the country attne time"
The witness explained that he was
called away TO "BruXeles" 20 see the ex-
position, and so Gid not see Sandow again
until he met him in Rotterdam, Holland.
There he met him and became friendly
with him.
is this plaintiff the man?"
Yes, | am pleased to say So" returned
the witness in an lrresistibly comical &C
cent.
"Do you know this defendant Montgom-
cry ?" asked Mr.. Bert.
"Ob; yes" confidently.
"How long have you known him?"
''SInce the day that go 10 Oakland with
two deputy Sheriffs to find him." This
answer tickled the audience and there was
chaos for a moment.
The cTOSs-examnatlon of this witness
was a sort of contest between Pollak and
Timothy j. Crowley over the retort humor.
Gus. Crowley asked him where Holland
was.
"Oh. you-you are American; you don't
know Holland"
"Well, when you were in Rotterdam.
Tell us about the posters you saw adyer-
Using Saudow's show. Were there any
pictures Of him on them that you could
recognize nowP What was on the posters,
anyway"
''What is the use? When should have
seen him on poster? could tell you the
language, but you would not understand
any foreign expressions"
well, but how about the pictures?"
How could l so recognize him from
seven years? He was thinner then, not as
pretty, not as round, not as handsome as
now" was the energetic answer.
As soon as Judge Slack could compose
his features TO an expression of becoming
gravity he adjourned court till the after
noon.
After the recess, the crowd denser than
ever in spite of the judges orders and the
efforts of several Deputy SheriffS, limo thy
J. Crowley resumed his cross-examination
Of the witness Pollak.

Il went TO help find this man. l also
wanted TO see that The Sheriffs did their
duty"
ION. you did, did you? Now. didn't
you testify at the former proceedings mat

Orpheum one night?"

the Orpheum that night to see il the in
