about the entrance to the ground or
the matter of sending the sight to the
President; he had nothing whatever
to do with it.
Did not take the breech block from
the gun because it was too heavy and |
besides it would ruin the gun. This
would be going too far.
Never reported the sight matter to
Marshal Brown, President Dole, Capt. !
Good or any one else. Did not report
to Brown because it was not in his
department. Did not report to the
President because wanted to await de-
velopments. Saw charges preferred
against Capt. Good and said nothing
at the time. Communicated the facts
to Mr.. Robertson and Col. Soper just
before trial began. 1t did not suggest
itself as duty that the information
should be carried to the President.
Was not in the habit of writing anon,
ymous letters.
Mr.. Kinney: Come here and write
this letter over again. / will dictate
to you" '.'
Witness-f tell you now that the let
ter is not my natural hand. 1t is dis
guised.
Mr.. Kinney-Why is it disguised?
Witness-Because l did not wish the
President to detect it.
Mr.. Kinney-You did not? Why not?
Witness-Because l did not.
Mr.. Kinney-Ah! woman's reason.
Now; write. Will you write in the
forged hand or your natural hand?"
Witness wrote in his natural hand.
When finished he was asked to write
it in the hand of the Friday night.
Witness said he could not, because he
was not in the same frame of mind.
Then place yourself in the same
frame of mind" stormed Capt. Kin,
ney.
The witness wrote slowly and la
boriously. When he had finished the
two specimens were filed.
