was brought up again, and then the
south park meeting was warmed over
again.
By Cavanagh: The Spring Edge
Mattress company made mattresses of
similar ticking to that used here by the
Chicago Bedding Co. Perren was the
first man and Bloch the second with
whom he conversed about the fire.
After al intermission Mr.. Cavanagh
returned to the struggle. The incident
of Bloch's going to the factory Sunday
morning was gone over to fix the exact
hour of the call jacobson was the
first to object to Rosenow's being hired
and Perren next. Witness expected to
be dealt with in justice. Asked for
nothing but justice and had made no
request for immunity from punishment.
Or one cross examination Robinson
said he had not sworn to the statement
made to the states attorney. Al this
point he said that he did swear to it.
And in several points he made oUher
contradictions.
By Seaman: Under his manage
ment the witness got somewhat further
confused.
Redirect by Mr.. Quarles: The can
vas used to cover the wagon was
shown witness and he identified it.
Kept his horse in Jacobson's barn the
night before the trip. Told him was
going to drive to Kenosha with a load.
Described Alex. Nieman for the pur-
pose of connecting him with the calling
of Harding to repair the iceboX. Never
saw thing of the goods billed to him
by Perren in May. Perren said he
would mail some bills to help him out
in his claim on the insurance compan-
les. Perren explained that it would
help show that there we're more goods
in the store at the time of the fire than
were actually there. Bloch told him
that he, Harris and the Chicago Bed
ding Co. composed the Spring Edge
Mattress company. Got the money of
jacobson for the purchase of the ma
terials used for the fire Thursday even
ing. The interview at Reeds office
was brought up again. Witness said
he was now satisfied that the parties
who made the offer of $4,000 to settle
the matter would not have paid eight
cents. Witness was in earnest about
the transaction. Cowie said at the
tipoa tbo 1,o bod oDo1,ob nui1op 90 to
show that the defendants were guilty;
if they were not they would not have
made the money offer. Knew of notes
being in existence given by the Chica-
go Bedding Co., endorsed by Mr.. Lewis,
the banker here. No effort was made
at this meeting to use those notes to
witness knowledge. jacobson had
been acting as his tinancier for about
six or eight months. Has not received
any offer or inducement from the state
or any officer to go upon the stand to
tell his story
Mr.. Foster raked up his store fire
again. Said it was May 6. Bills were
sent by Perren about week after the
fire.
By Seaman: Had stabbed MS horse
at Jacobson's before. Was done as a
matter Of convenience. Was never a
word said to jacobson about burning
the plant.
By Quarles: Jacobson knew what
was to be purchased with the money
given him. Had a conversation some
time before the lire with jacobson
about the condition of the company.
jacobson said that there must be
either fire or failure.
Robinson was relieved at $50 and
Abe Levine was recalled. He identi-
fed the canvas Robinson had. Got it
from the Robinson wagon.
j. G. Nesbitt was recalled. His at
tention was called to the two bills in
evidence. He made them and found
the order in Mr.. Perren's salesman's
book. The order was transferred to
Jacobson's account. The s DDS were
not shipped according to to books.
Mr.. Bloch's brother was the represen-
tative Of the Pittsburg Bedding COM
pany. Knew of no contest over the in
surance prior to the adjusters coming
here.
Court adjourned till 9 o'clock in the
morning.
