1 told him to go at it in a sharp way,
but not to let her know that 1 was
sending him.
@. Why did you caution him? A.
Because 1 did not want her to think
that [ was suspicious about the money.
l had asked her several times where
the money was, but she would not tell
me.
@. At that time you were not only
suspicious of the transaction, but
thought she wanted to do you up? A.
II thought that a little bit
Q. Believing that she was scheming
to do you up, you sent Waterman to

That's right.

she had on her clothes and was just

pose in cautioning him not to go too
far was that you did not want him to
find out the whole of the transaction?
A. No, sir All the object I had in
cautioning him not to go too far was
that he would not arouse Miss Ging's
suspicious.
@. What were you afraid Of her sus-
picions for? A. She being a very dear
friend of mine, I did not want her to
think 1 was suspicious of her, and
that third party was watching her
vent her suspicioning? A 1 did not
want her to be suspicioning at all.
@. If your desire was to find out if
the money was in the vault, how can
you account for your intention to at
tach it? A. I meant this way, that II
it was in the vault and she told Water
