Here the witness went over minor points
of the night. He read letters to the po-
lice officers and laid down to rest on the
lounge in Adry's room between 4 and
o'clock that morning.
'Adry was surprised when l told him.

of figuring what l would DO. 1 knew that
suspicion would point toward me, and l
wondered what those newspaper fellows

Waterman's room and said to him I told
you So l went to the Office in the Oneida

with the intention of telling every de-
tail of my relations with Miss Cling ex-

county attorney, and detailed how Law

They took you to the morgue and
showed you the body, did they not?"

over the corpse and was brought up and
