it would noturally be that she would
put it in if l should.
@. Well, is that a gamblers phrase,
if she put in with me or with him? A.
Yes, sir.
@. What does that mean? Does that
mean putting in all of the money? A.
No, 1 never gambled with her money
alone in the world
c. Well, what does it mean? A.
Well, for instance, supposing she put
in $75, and the chances are 1 would
put in enough to make it 5000 or $3.50,
and if she put in SIS she would put in
three-tenths of the amount and l
would put in seven-tenths, and L
would go and play that amount. If
there was any loss that would be the
last of it-there wasn't anything COM
ing; if there was winning, why we
would just take and divide it. She
would take three-tenths of the win
nings and I would take seven-tenths,
or whatever there was. On the other
hand, if she went in one-half with me,
one-haif of the capital, whatever L
won, she would have one-half of it.
Q. Now, you have described the
manner, state whether she did put any
money in with you to gamble, and if so
give a description of the amounts and
the history of the circumstances, as
near as you can? A. Well, I think
the $75 was the first time, and whether
she lost or won / don't know. But
maybe the next time she put in again,
whether SIS or $500 [ don't know, or
whether S25-well, it never was $25, be-
cause she never put in $25 in the world.
And it may be the next time she lost,
or might have won, 1 cannot tell about
that.
Q. Have you any record of these
transactions at all? A. Not at first.
We went in and we won or lost, and
she got very much interested in the
game. Of course, had played great
deal, and, of course I understood it
understood how it got a grip upon
some people; how they were fascin-
ated with the game, and how some
people become completely devoted to
it, completely carried away with it;
don't know what they are doing. Well,
it don't strike me that way. 1 always
thought well, you may say, had a
pretty good hold on myself. Well, l
would talk to her about it, and she
said it was all right; and I talked with
her-I think at that point or some
other point we had made a loss, and
wanted to get her even again. 1 know
l played at that time and l got to
thinking it over. and I was scared
about it, and 1 know, if it is possible to
play a careful game, I did it at that
time. [ know 1 kept playing and al
most got her even, and then 1 was
thinking of getting away then. So I
did. l stopped playing, went away and
took the money to her and told her
about it; but it didn't make any diff
ference with her. Well, that stopped
things for while. But she wanted to
go in again, and l explained to her
just how it was. [ said, Here 1 am
gambling your money, and it puts me
in very peculiar position; nobody
knows anything about it; if L go
around and lose two or three thousand
dollars of your money L would be
blamed for it, She said, mo you
won't, either; that is all right" Still
7 refused. Then was the time some
writing or paper or something was got
ten up, and at that time she gave me
that paper. 1t was simply gotten up
by me
@. What paper was that? A. The
$50 paper here.
@. Where is it?
Mr.. Nye-It is in evidence.
Q. Witness shown paper). I hand |
you exhibit "Q1." A. Yes, sir; that |
is the paper
Q. Well, what is that,read it to the |
jury? A. Well, this was made out |
right up in her office; 1 wrote it N.Y.
self; I don't know whether it touches |
all the points in law or not-I am not |
a lawyer, but that is what 1 wanted to |
get at. This reads: MAY 9Th, '94 !
This is to show that I have put 1915 |
into Harry T. Haywards hands to
gamble with, win or lose."I wrote it |
and she signed it, "Kate Cling" Well |
kept that simply to show if any |
trouble came from it afterwards, so |
she would not say "Well, I didn't
give him any money to gamble with"
did this for my own protection. That !
IS the time when she was a little be-
lind, but it was all right, she won that
time.
Q. How much was won on that trip?
Well, l don't remember, but taking
hat, and possibly more-let me see,
when we went to Chicago May 9, and
Tune 12-she won at that time l know,
md after that she lost here in the city,
md SO on. Here is a telegram, June
2-well, that is when I was-well, June
2 was down at Chicago, and that
ime she put in $500 and I put in $500,
md we had a capital Of $1,000. Well,
hat telegram Is not all here, but 1
lave a copy of it, and they are all
on record in the Western
Union. I copied them, and I always
,ept copy of anything in reference to
