rs it not a fact that no one but Nor
ris told you that? Isn't it fact that
Morris was the man all the time at
your ear, and thar he Informed you in
reference tc the capacity of the citl-
zens of this town."
Very much So.
Won't you say according to your
best recollection that it was Morris
that told you that Nelson was an old
cranlS2',
mo, L would not say that
You didn't come TO the CONCLUSION
that he was an old crank because he
walked out from there?"
Il thought it was a very unusual re-
quest thai he made because l didn't
sell goods that way to no one
You thought it was an unusual
thing for him TO walk out?
i did, SIR
When was you first introduced to
Colonel Nelson?"
That very morning.
Declined 20 have any further COM
munlcation with you after that?"
Yes, SIR
Appeared in his conduct toward you
20 be suspicious?"
mo, he didn't express that"
L didn't ask you whether he ex-
pressed that"
mo. say he didn't act that way to
me-"
HE didn't treat you so cordially"
why he was very friendly.
Didn't he appear as though he was
q man that was able TO read your
character"
Wen, l didn't think of that at ALL
A DESERVING MAN.
Reflect back now and consider his
actions and tell me whether you don't
think that is about as he appeared?'
well, in fact you know 1 didn't think
enough of him, you know, to bother my
mind very much about it.
You didn't think enough about the
president of the school board to bother
your mind much about it?"
You thought you had the rest OF the
board solid?"
No"
You were trying to make con-
tract?"
so I was"
You knew that he was an influential
member of the board"
Il did, SIR"
You knew that he was the president
of the board2'
so 1 understood.
And the publisher of an influential
newspaper-assLstant editor?
That I didn't know"
You have found it out since, haven't
you?"
Ito my sorrow, yes sir"
You say you didn't know it then?''
No, sir
You read the Tribune every morn
ing?"
mo, I don't think read it specially
every morning"
You were wanting its good will?"
Always"
You were striving to obtain it?"
You wrote your firm that they need
not fear that you would get into any
controversy with the newspapers?
I did, SIR
And yet while Colonel Nelson was
the president of the school board, the
managing editor of a great newspaper,
whose good viii you desired, you did
not care enough about him to ever
treat with him after he walked out of
your room that morning.
Il did not say so. l told you that
after the meeting of the board of edu-
cation at the board of education room
/ made an explanation to the effect
which / stated before, and told the
colonel the reason why l done it, that
il was always usual in all transactions
not to go in and give the value of one
piece of furniture, and that L made
schedule first of the selection and then
l would give him any information he
desired, and that if had done anything
wrong, that l didn't mean to do it,
MADE AN APOLOGY.
did you tell him all that?"
II did, sir right in the presence of
the board of education
Made an Apology"
Il did, sir. l made an apology"
hi
There was no necessity for an hum
BILE apology. No, sir.
so then you bothered your mind
enough about it TO APOLOGIZE
ITO all of them, to put the thing
right before them, why had done So
But your apology was direct to
him.
ITO the full board
well, you apologized to the board;
he was president of the board?"
"Of course he was president of the
board
He was the man that had left your
room suddenly"
Yes, sir
He was the man you wanted to
smooth over by the Apology"
NO smoothing over about it,"
He was the man you wanted to sat
isfy by the Apology"
That is right i done that time right
prices away"
so you did that to satisfy him?"
Il did, sir, all Of them. p"
Then it can't be true that you didn't
think anything more about it after
that, car it?'
why so far as you refer to-you
asked me if 1 went TO see him and tried
to make up to him. 1 did not, 1 made
il right there N the board
Now didn't he object to your prices
in addition to what you have said to
us?"
When"
AT any time?"
That / don't know
You don't know"
mo, sir
Didn't he tell YOU that your prices
were exorbitant?"
80 he said"
Didn't he tell you that he would not
tract?"
That / don't know, SIR
Didn't he tell you that if the bal
ance of the board did not compel him
to sign Il that he would not sign it?"
That / don't know, sir. L don't
think he was compelled at ALL
SIGNED WITHOUT CONFUSION.
You don't think he was compelled
al all?"
NO. sir. I think ne signed st when
he saw that perhaps he had made a
mistake"
