"OnIy what she told me. 1 under
stood she had about $4,000, and also
that she had considerable property
East, in New York state"
THAT was mere rumor?'
Yes, 1 took her word for it,
And yet when this was all the
money you had you loaned it to her,
and, as you say, $500 previously"
Yes, sir.''
She was simply going to give you
chattel mortgage on the stock?"
Yes
THAT was all the inducement you
had to make that loan?"
That was about ALL
us it not true that aside from the
habit of gambling you have always
been close with your money!"
Yes
You never spent much money with
your friends?"
Not with men,
''And you wanted to clear your pock-
cts absolutely on Nov. "a without any
collateral security whatever"
Yes
you wish the court and jury to be-
lieve that you considered it was a
sensible thing for young man to risk
his entire fortune in the hands of a
woman whom you knew gambled?"
81 do; I trusted that woman thor
oughly, and would have loaned it to
her if she had only $1,000 instead of
$1,000"
You say you let her have $500 be-
fore?"
Yes
why did you have the two wit
letting them see all the transaction
Because they witnessed that she
said she had received it,
Were they not there to witness the
whole thing?"
mo, SIR
Now, why did Miss Cling go into
another room to count that money!"
Because 1 took advice from my at
torney, and was carrying out what he
said to the letter.
You mean to swear that he said
she was to go into another room to
count it?"
mo, SIR
"Was there any talk with Mr. Angel
about witnessing the counting of the
money!"
81 don't remember
did you let Miss Cling have $500 on
the 18th of July, 1892"
Either that day or the day preced-
ing
Where did you give it to her?'
Il am almost certain that money was
paid on the Sunday at the Ozark flats,
1 am not positive of it,
You swear you paid her the $500 in
currency on or about the 18th of July
in the Ozark?''
ST do"
Where was it?'
'In my ROOM
did you keep blank notes there?"
NO"
"How do you fix that as the 18th of
July?'
Because I would not give her any
money after 1 thought she was still
gambling"
How came you to give her this?"
Because she asked me for it, The
first note she was raising $1,000 for
Jones' loan"
How long was this to rum"
"On demand
How about the next loan? Do you
remember the circumstances of that?'
mo, l don't; that money was given
her early in September; 1 gave her
some money in Barge's restaurant, but
that was AFTER
WAS it paid at the time you drew
the notes?"
II would say it was paid before"
''Is it of so little consequence that
you can't remember the circum-
stances?''
when 1 was gambling 1 would look
at $1,000 just the same as L did at other
times at $40 note
us that business transaction entirely
gone out of your mind?'
81 received money and gave it to her
at so many places-at the postoffice,
our office, the Ozark flats, in Barge
restaurant, that-can't remember"
From time to time, you let her have
amounts, and finally settled up by let
ting her give you note for s1,0OO?"
Something like that
How often did you give her these
sums of money!"
well, l would give her money if I
thought 1 was going to lose at gamb-
ling"
Between July 10 and Sept. 8, the
time of the first two notes, did you let
her have money!"
81 did. She would come to me and
say she wanted it for some purpose,
and / would let her have it; know she
got some money from her sister, be-
cause L identified her at the express
Office
when was the next loan?'
81 don't think l let her have any be-
tween Sept. and just before 1 went to
Chicago. This second note was also
made in the office, and that money
was paid in Barge's restaurant ten
days before that
"On the Sd of November she drew
out of the Farmers and Mechanics
bank $243; is not this the money you
went to Chicago to gamble with?'
"It is not"
did you think the money you loaned
her went to Jones & Coz"
81 did,
''These notes are all in your hand
WIllIlS
Yes
'Have you the book from which they
were taken?"
NO"
Zone note was executed at the Ozark,
one at the Oneida, and where was the
November note eXecuted?'
'"That was in the Oneida block, too. )"
where did you keep these three
notes?'
I'm a box of mine.'
did any one in the Office ever see
them?'
my brother did"
"You did not ride out with her the
Tuesday or Saturday evening preced-
ing thd murder?'
mo, SIR"
'Did you meet her either of these
nights on First avenue north, in the
vicinity of Fifth?"
81 did not
"On the week preceding the murder
you rode with her near there?'
