and was wondering what in the world
these newspapers were going to say;
that worried me then great deal.
O. What time did you get up in the
morning, and where did you get break
fast, and where did you go? A.
think | got up and we went out went
out or some of US and got a newspaper
and read that. Well, l went to break
fast. l know 1 went in Watermans
room. 1 remember that distinctly, took
it in to Waterman, and 1 said, What
did l tell you, Waterman? L knew
something was wrong" l went INTO
Waterman's room; and ate my break
fast and came out; expect L was IN the
basement in the morning.
O. Did you go from the Ozark that
morning? A. Yes, sir; 1 went down
town from the Ozark. 1 think 1 went
to the office in the Oneida block.
@. What time did you go to police
headquarters? A. I will tell you;' L
went to the Oneida block; 1 should say
1 was there at 8 o'clock, and L know
was on my way to police headquarters,
that is. going down there; l was going
to Reeds office, then on down to the
city hall. S. A. Reeds law office; ana
at the corner of Third street and Mic
ollet 1 met Mr.. Howard, Detective
Howard. He told me they wanted to
see me down there at the city hall.
says, "All right, just come over here
a minute to the Boston block, and
will go right down" So he went
along with me; 1 went over there and
then went down, and then commenced
the inquisition.
@. Now, you may state what was
generally done with you at the inqui-
sition.
Mr.. Nye-Objected to as immaterial,
incompetent and Irrelevant; and not
contradictory to anything offered by
the state.
Mr.. Erwin-It is absolutely necessary
to show the growth of this suspicion
and the case against the defendant;
just the general facts.
The Court-Go on.
Mr.. Erwin want the general state
ment; 1 don't want particularly what
was said, but what generally was
done A. I went down with the inten-
ton of telling them all L knew per-
tanning directly or indirectly to Miss
Cling, at the first inquisition, barring
nothing save my gambling transact
lions with her. not my gambling trans
actions, but my gambling transac-
tons with her. I was not asked in re-
gard to that, so 1 just left it all out.
Then, the second inquisition the next
day, I knew probably that l was max
ing a mistake, perhaps, if 1 should not
tell it; and 1 knew L was suspicioned;
and she was gambling with somebody
else, and 1 thought if l told Eustis
that, it might be the means of chasing
a clue to the right party; and know
that I told him something whereas l
had a slight suspicion.
Q. Who questioned you; who talked
to you down there? A. EVERYBODY.
1 would go in and talk to somebody,
and they would go out, and then they
would come, and then there would be
three or four detectives come in and
ask me things, and I know they
thought 1 was lying, and they would
go off and find it true and come back,
and the detectives would talk on that;
and while l was talking with that
crew, another crew would go out on
some new fresh tracks, and then they
would get tired out. That is the way
they went right along.
Q. What officers were there gener-
ally? Mayor Eustis was there? A.
Yes, sir; think all the officers in the
city; Mayor Eustis; Chief Smith; [ did
not see Mr.. Doyle until the second in
QUESTION; / don't know where he was.
Q. Did you see the county attorney?
A. No, not the county attorney, but
the assistant county attorney; l saw
him. He was right in the heat of it.
@. How long did this thing last-the
questioning? A. Well, it lasted-well,
] went down there, perhaps, 10 in the
morning until, well, 2 at night-neXt
morning-that would be u, 10, 16 hours.
Now, l won't say 10 in the morning; it
may have been half past 10; some
where in there.
Q. Now, during this time did you:
have any lawyer with you? A. No,
sir.
Q. Did you ask for any? A. No, sir.
O. You answered every question
asked you? a. ] answered every ques-
ton they asked me and told them
everything, I guess, I ever have known
pertaining to the case. l did not try TO
disguise anything; although my gamb-
ling with her; if I had told them that
l never gambled; if l had told them
that instead of losing $500 to $500 from
gambling transactions, they never
would have known otherwise: and l
could have kept it quiet to this day
If [ had wanted to.
.. Now, was there any intermission
from this from 10 o'clock until 2
o'clock next morning, A. No sir.
Q. Had they q stenographer to write
down what you said? A. Not all the
time.
@. Did he ever read over to YOU
what you said? A. 1 think not, I
know he did not.
Q. AT o'clock what was done with
you in the morning? A Well. Mr..
Eustls came to me and says, the sub
stance of the words We're: Harry.
are you willing to stay here tonight ,"
] said NO" 1 says, IF you want me
Tor anything" l says, 81 had lust as
soon go up to the West hotel, and Won
can send an officer with me and let him
camp out at my door, or in front of the
bed, but l want to Sleep" and I in
sisted on it, but he would not do If
He said could stay here in the chiefs
office.
q. Where did they keep YOU that
night? A. They kept me on the
lounge In the chiefs office, and 7 cot
cold that had for about ten DAYS:
could not talk at the next inquisition :;
l could hardly tell whether I caught it
on the lounge at the inquisition;I don't
know, but L caught it some time dur
ing the hours 1 was in the city hall
q. How long did you lay on tho
lounge; how long before they com
menced at you again? A. Before I
went on the lounge I called a police
man in and says to him to go out and
get something to eat.

bite. 'o I"
c. Nothing from that time in tho
