WlNTERSTEEN TRIAL.
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE 4.

Waller was, don't remember who l
asked about him but think it was
Mr.. Buckalew; think l met him on
the porch and asked him where he
was. Have known Dora Moharter
about % or 20 years; don't remem-
ber when she lived at Mrs. Brock
ways; never called on her there.
Since she went to Mrs. Knorr' S
have met her probably a dozen
times on the streets /; gave her
money once. She said she want
ed to buy a coat and I gave
her ten dollars l never kept up a
correspondence with her; during
the time she was at Mrs. Knorr's
think / wrote her one letter only
one letter, to the best of my knowl-
edge never visited her at Berwick
before February Court since that
time Mr.. Ikeler and 1 visited her
at Berwick the first letter l wrote
her was to ask her to come and
work at Col. Knorr's, it was at the
Cops instance that / wrote her !;
after she went to work at Knorr's l
wrote her another letter asking how
she was getting along with her
work was interested in her and
wanted to see her get along; don't
remember the contents of the letter;
don't recollect that / told her in
the letter to come to my Office /; in
the first letter / told her that Knorr's
would be good place to work and
if she would come l thought she
would like it know w. M. Monroe;
don't remember that l had a con-
versation with him shortly after the
explosion, may have met him. My
object in going to 7I6 Cherry St.
Reading was to try to get Cliff
Knorr to leave that place to rescue
him from Sallie Cast; wanted to
get him to leave Reading; don't
remember that 1 gave w. M.
Monroe any other reason for
going to Reading I did have a
little talk with Mr.. Monroe, it
was after the hearing that talked
to him but I don't remember
how long after tthe hearing it
was. Trying to save Knorr from
that Cast woman was not the only
reason that I went to Reading he
wanted me to come and see him.
There was no other reason for my
visiting Reading at that time; Knorr
claimed he was in trouble he said
he was being watched by officers
for knocking woman over the head
with something or other, he didn't
tell me who he had struck and I
didn't ask him who the person was.
The only question I asked him was
whether or not the person was seri-
ously hurt; he said he was afraid at
first that he had killed her, but he
said he guessed she was not hurt so
very bad. 1 the1i told him to leave
Reading, thought it be better for
him % cave the place, and that he
might thereby escape arrest he
told me how the affair happened
but don't remember now what it
was ; didn't ask him what the per-
sons name was or in what building
it occurred know he was in the
wrong in striking the person by his
actions and in the way he talked.
Told few people about his trouble;
don't remember that 1 told w. M.
Monroe about Cliff Knorr knifeing
policeman in Reading, and that
that was my reason for visiting
Reading, that went down there to
help him out of trouble. Did not
go down to Reading until he wrote
to me and told me he was in trouble
and wanted to see me. The last time
visited Knorr was Dec. "a, 1896.
| did help to conceal his where
abouts after the explosion :; Just as
had done for two years previous
to the explosion I wrote a letter
to some person in Harrisburg and
sad that Knorr was in New York
City but did not say in what
part of the city he was in / was
trying to conceal him Knorr did
drop i'll my Office one day and told
ME that Mr.. Wingert would be in
town and would be in !; while
Knorr was in my Office Mr.. Win
gert came in but they did not
transact any business with me l
did try to keep Knorr's where
abouts secret in spite Of the fact
that I went with him on two excur-
sions from Readitg / was not try
ing to keep his whereabouts a Sc
cret in Reading, and was not watch
ing his actions there he asked me
