any gambling transactions, always
kept them in my trunk. Now, here are
two of the first kilograms. l would
telegraph her how we stood, and If
went up to some house 1 would tele-
graph her and let her know how we
stood, because she was interested, and,
naturally, wanted to know how we
stood and the first telegram 1 sent her
was: 1--WE are $3.50 winner" That tele-
gram did not need any answer. The
next telegram 1 sent her was: I'VE are
$500 winner" That aans-that didn't
mean we were both that much winner,
each of us, but 1 had possibly $500 in
my possession and $500 of it belonged
to her Here is another telegram, pos
sibly these are all the same day-yes,
this is the next telegram: eve have
made a loss; telegraph me at Palmer
house Sis" She did not send it. Well,
now, the best of my recollection is L
lost then between the time L tele-
graphed [ was $500 winner-lets see,
S115 twice would be $230-lost $3.50
that left me $270, or L was $3.50 short of
$780, Well, $3.50 is a good deal of money,
but still when you are gambling it is
not very much; it don't last very long.
So, thinks I, it will be better if we get
a little more together-I had more
money, | don't know how much l had,
but [ had a good deal more than that.
So | telegraphed her, that is when L
made the loss, and ] said for her to
telegraph at Palmer house $115. did
not make any explanaticn-1 guess L
did-here it is underneath here: "Tele-
graph me at Palmer house $l15; this
together with what [ put in may pull
us out; if you fail in this we may have
loss. Send at once" Well, that is the
telegran-let'S see what her answer is.
Well, don't know whether l gambled
any more before | telegraphed to her or
not. Here is the answer to that tele-
gram. Mr.. Eustis had this, but L see
he had a slip in one of them; he got
it turned around he got it wrong: IF
you are sure of winning l will send
it, And here is my answer; L did not
want to offer any inducements to her;
l wanted to lay it before her just eX-
actly as it was; and my answer was
this: Nothing is certain; our chances
are good, very good; if you fail in this
we will have loss spell my name cor
rectly." The reason put that in was
that the telegram she sent me before
that she had spelled my name wrong,
or possibly the operator had made the
mistake in spelling tin fact, L found
out afterwards that she had made the
mistake Spell my name correctly"
She had spelt my name in the previous
telegram 'Hawyard.' And here is the
next one in answer to that: Cannot
send; l hope you have not lost every
thing. Kate" Now, [ remember that,
and you will find that-"Our chances
are now better than ever; send it I'M
mediately; 1 think it will be all right.
Well now, that telegram, as it may APP
near. is not in answer to this: Can t
send; hope you have not lost every
thing" but if you will look it up at
the office you will find that the tele-
gram is sent by the North American
Telegraph company, and the other teie-
grams were sent by the Western Union,
and it was sent possibly an hour after
the other one, and before L received
her answer, and the cause of that was
I had gambled some with this $27O and
had won, not very heavily; possibly L
didn't win more than $3.50. But, any
way, she telegraphed me $500 and the
S15 that was short, l never paid any at
tention to that, and put that in my
self and lost it.
