man slowly toward Sansome street. did
not recognize the other man, but my I'M
preston is that it was not Theodore Figel,
whom l know. They were very near the
corner OF Battery street. The fingers
continued along Battery street toward
Market. Hoffman was walking on the
outside"
In response to the question of the
Coroner she said she could lot describe
the man who was with Hoffman, and
added that she had never before see.i
Hoffman at that place and at that time.
She did not know anything of the tragedy
until the next day. On the morning of
tae I'd of June. when she reached the
office, one OF the Ungers remarked, THAT
liliHg muSI nave nappeneu lmm eulately
after we parted"
II asked, What thing2" continued
the witness, land when he told me of the
death OF hoffman l said that / had seen
Hoffman that evening.
Il said TO some one in talking of the
affair that if one of those men had been
Figel l would have recognized him."
She said she went to Mr.. LLOYD on the
suggestion of Alexander Heyne man, an
attorney and a brother of her employer
and told him what she knew.
AT the request of Mr.. Lloyd she had re-
peated all the proceedings of that evening
in order TO determine at what time she
had seen Mr.. Hoffman. The experim ent
showed that it must have been about 6:25
P NJ. 1t was 6:15 when Harry Unger
| looked at his watch on the evening OF
June l. They had Just finished copying
some letters. They put away the copying
materials, she walked to the remote end
OF the store, washed her hands, covered
the Iypewriters, cleared away some papers,
| locked the safe, put on her coat, locked
the Store and walked TO the point where
she had turned and seen Hoffman. In
concluding her story she said: I'VE did
exactly these same things in making the
experiment. 1t was the usu II routine each
niEht before closing
Harry Unger con firmed her testimony
in every particular, adding that ne had
looked at mis- watch Oh June TO see if he
would have time TO get back 10 the store
to keep an appointment will a drummer,
whom he was 10 meet at o'clock. He
saw, he said, that he would not be able to
keep the appointment. and told Special
Officer Ferren back to ask the drum mer to
wait for him. He and his brother, after
| leaving Miss Cohn. proceeded along Mar
ket street and out 0'Farrell street home.
In passing Hoffman, Rothchild & Co. 5
place he saw no one in front of il, nor did
he see any one on Bush street, as his back
was turned, in the act OF mailing some
| letters
/ at this point Mr.. Lilo I'd suggested q
question to the Coroner, u nj Mr.. Ach OBJ
| lected. The latter claimed that the sus-
/ pected party had no right to bs reprs-
sented at the Coroner's INQUEST by
! counsel.
This brought from Lloyd the ongrilv
uttered remark. You are trying SIP

That is an infamous falsehood."
