my room, which was right at the en-
trance to the dining room, and he says:
Waterman, l have loaned Miss Cling
that money that I was telling you about
some time ago." and he says that Il
am afraid she is trying to dc me up
He told me some time about loaning
her money three or four months be-
fore
Sure about that?"
1T was some time
Did he say how much?"
mot at that time, dom think"
DO you know whether he did or
not?'
No, do not
GO on: answer ?"
He said that he had loaned Miss
Cling money, and that he was afraid
she was trying to do him up, or that
some third party was with her and
trying to beat him out of his money.
He said that if he did lose it he would
be practically broke; that he only had
about SIS: and he showed me two let
ters which he had received from Miss
Cling, and wanted me, as a friend of
his, to go up and see her, and if pos
sible to find out where the money was
that he had loaned her, and he said
that if it was in a safety deposit vault
he wished to attach it. He also spoke
about some insurance policies being
assigned don't know that l could
that was about all.
In the meantime were you saying
anything at alp
No, sir, not very much.
THAT looked very reasonable and
plausible to you, did it not?''
Yes, sir
You had been at No. 6 Thirteenth
how long?"
Il had been there since the latter
part of last March"
Were you very much of the time
with Harry?"
mo, sir.
"A good deal of the time?''
We'll, I will tell you, my business
yes. I was with him some evenings, but
outside of that during the day, [ was
not with him at all
You knew very well that he was
keeping company with Miss Cling most
Of the time when he went out?''
mo, sir I did not. I knew that he
was a5friend OF Miss Cling, and that he
was with her a good deal of the time
You and Harry were in Miss Ging's
room on Sunday, the day before the
Monday on which you went to see Miss
Ging?"
Sunday a week, [ think [ was up
there"
VIII you swear that you were not in
Miss Ging's room on Sunday that sec
ond day of December with Harry and
Miss Ireland?"
Sunday the second-weII, I don't
know was either up there the sec
ond or the Sunday previous to that
time
Don't you know that on Sunday or
Saturday night Harry was in her
room with her and Miss Ireland until
after II o'clock?"
No, sir"
He caressing her and she him?''
NO sir.
Don't you know, as a matter of
fact and reputation, Miss Cling kept
company with anybody else?'
She had very few gentlemen call
ers."
Men in the city whom you knew?''
Yes, sir"
why didn't it suggest itself in
your mind to ask him who he thought
it was that was going to do him up?"
4 don't know, Mr.. Nye, why it
didn't I am sure
You were there the little Obedient
servant of Harry, TO go and do what
he wanted, without asking any ques-
tons, is that so %
way"
what did he expect to do if he did
find where she kept the money!"
He said if it was in a safety de-
post vault he wished to attach it,
Did he tell you he Just took that
note on the oath of November"
NO, sir
Did he tell you what security he
had for it,"
He gave me to understand or [
got the idea that there was to be some
insurance policies transferred from
her to him. but l understood at that
time that there was some hitch in the
proceedings, so that it left him prac-
tically without any security
Did he tell you there was any hitch
did he tell you on Sunday, the I'd of
December, there was any hitch?'
81 would not swear to that, but I
got that impression in the conversa-
ton"
Don't you know, as a matter of
fact, that he had an assignment or
the policy complete before that?"
NO, sir; I did not The first time
had heard of the policies was that
day"
What was your idea in going to
Miss Cling, what for?"
My idea was going up there to find
out, if possible, whether she intended
to go into business or not, and, if pos
sible, if I could find out where she had
the money that he loaned her
why didn't you ask her Sunday"
Sunday [ WASH there Sunday
''Wiu you swear that you were not
there?"
"Sunday?"
Yes, at the Ozark in her room?"
Sunday, the 2d?"
Yes, sir
yes, will"
Witness was then asked to give Miss
Ging's words in regard to her going
| into business. etc: she seemed quite
elated over the fact, and said she could
not see any reason why she could not
| succeed. She spoke of renting the
store across the street, 1 think that
! Strauss & Murray are now in, and said
she had just been over there: that they
were out, in regard to the rental of the
store. She said she was going there
soon to see them in regard to the store.
said Miss Cling, you have got good
deal of money now. You seem to be
pretty well fixed She said, ON, yes,
Waterman, we could paint the town
now very nicely That is the way she
expressed it. That was all that 1 re-
member"
You went back to Fishers and re-
peated that?" Yes, I did; did not
repeat the whole of the conversation
Substantially? mo, sir; I told
Harry that I thought everything was
all right and Miss Cling seemed per-
fectly sincere in the fact of her going
into business, and 1 did not think she
was trying to do him up, and he asked
me if 1 found out where she had the
money; told him I did not"
