Mrs. F'randzen; he did not know
whether the photograph was his or
Sergeant Ford's. l tried to get a lady
to secure the photo and letters, but
she refused to do it. do not care to
mention her name
Brady was then called on - identify
his second letter to the captain, which
was dated the 29th. 1t contained a de-
tailed statement Of McDonalds con-
duct while in Mount Pleasant, and was
sent, he said, in reply to a letter from
Captain Donovan, asking for the facts
in the case.
Brady said he did not get any pho
toS from the woman. He denied having
ts,ld anyone that Folsl was staying
with the woman, but had heard she
went there to escape being called on
to testify about Ford. AS to Chief
Pratts visit subsequently, witness said
he had met him and given him all the
details of the matter, but had not
shown him the letters.
Mr.. Jensen, a Mount Pleasant hotel
keeper, was sworn and stated that
Donovan had gone to Mount Pleasant
on the S1st of July and Mcdonald ON
the 22nd. He brought out his hotel
register which showed that Mcdonald
had registered as &C. Robson, Port

stayed over one night.
Desk Sergeant Adams was asked If
he had conversed with Donovan as to
Mcdonald on the 31st. He said that
he had, and that Donovan had told

In reply to a question from MIR.
Sutherland, he said that on the 9th
of July was the first time Donovan
had spoken to him about taking the
trip, and that he had gone on the same
day.
Mr.. Sutherland-What did he say to
you at that time?
He said there is a prostitute in Mt.
Pleasant who has a photograph of me
or Ford. 1 want you to get it as soon
as possible
'Did he tell you how he knew she

Yes He said ne had heard SO and
had received letters to that effect
How much did Donovan give you
to make the trip"
He gave me 500

mot much; only a few cents
Mcdonald became badly muddled
under this cross-eXamination and said
he could not remember how much his
fare to and from Mt. Pleasant had
been.
Mr. Sutherland resumed by asking
what he had said to the woman when
he saw her.
Il told her it was rumored that she
had Donovans picture and was get
ting drafts from him. l then asked her
for the picture, but she said she did
not know him and did not have his
picture"
Mr. varian-Did you see Donovan's
or Fords picture?
mo, [ did not"
did you see Gillespie'S?"
yes"
Here Mcdonald said he should like
to tell the story in his own way and
the privilege was granted. He began
by relating a long introductory con-
versation, in which he and Mrs. Frand-
zen had exchanged views on the gen.
eral adaptaIbility of the country for
farming, the price of potatoes, ETC. AT
the conclusion of this, he bluntly asked
her for the photographs and letters
of Donovan and Ford. She answered
that she did not even know them, and
that the only policeman of her ac-
quaintance- was Roberts. Some let
ters, with the Knutsford hotel stamp
on them, were lying on the table but
she snatched them up.
Mr. Sutherland-Did you understand
you were going there on personal bust
ness?
81 did not know. ] supposed it was
for the good of the department as
Donovan said it would create a rum
pus if it became known"
Mr.. Varian-Did' you suppose they
would be bogus letters?
Yes, l did
Mr.. Sutherland sarcastically)-Did
you think the photograph was bogus?
Charles Chapman.
Charles Chapman was then examined
by Judge Powers for the defense.
Judge Powers-Did you have con-
versation with Captain Donovan about
the photograph?
YES; 1 had a talk with him about it
late in May or early in June"
what did he say to you at that
time?'
He said I had better get out of
town as he had had enough of bunco
men. 1 told him he had not been able
to prove me a bunco man and that
my picture was not hanging in house
of i'll fame Chapman further testi-
fed that Donovan thereupon told him
he would have his picture in a worse
place than a house of prostitution.
Ibid the woman show you Donovan's
picture?"
"She pointed to a picture and said it
was his. 1 did not notice it closely"
Chapman said he had not been re-
quested to go down by Donovan.
Mr.. SUPERINTENDENT is your occu-
patton?
:, am a butcher by trade, but lately
1 have been engaged in the curio bust
ness
"You know you are known as a bunco
man. don't you?"
