In reply to District Attorney Vandegrft
Dorss stated that whom he carried check
the disclosure would follow had that
check been discovered. The reason Ken.
ney did not draw checks in his favor was
on account of the understanding because
that would lead to a disclosure. The rca-
son he kept out tho Clark checks until 1897
because there was n stronger possibility OF
recovering the money and the deienuhht
was fully aware OF the matter. Ihcre
were times whom he temporarily carried
checks for Kenney for a day al time.
When he had the conversation with Fzek-
iel Cooper it was when they were going
over the books in tho District Attorneys
Office. When asked about the convcrsa.
tion alleged to have taken place with
Brockson Mr. Bird objected.
In answer to questions from Mr.. Pird,
Boggs said that he was compelled to keep
Kepney as his counsel because he had
knowledge of the case. Tho letters sent
him by kenney were requests to take care
of checks for him until he could secure
funds to meet them. He rs serted that In
the month of April, 1897, Kenney became
aware hat Cooper was short over s2O, 900.
.Kenney did not owe the bank anything
from these checks at that time. He was
out Of the woods. He was not sure that
he had ever told Cooper that ksnney knew =
about this shortage Of Cooper. He said,
however, that Cooper krew that kenney
knew of ths shortage Of Cooper. Clark.
Cole and Ford knew that Cooper was
short at the bank. McGonigal did not
know 1t.
Mr.. Vandegrift took Boggs in hand and
asked him what he meant by Kennoy be-
ing out of the woods.
Boggs replied: because had no OBJ
legations o! Kenney 10 connect him with
this shortage"
There was objection made toa further
explanation, but the court allowed 1t.
Boegs continued:
"Wewere seeing what we could do, and
assured all Of these men that there was
nosblng to detect US. based this on the
way our check book was kept. We kept
record of the amounts, but no names. 1
supposed that the Farmers Bank did the
same But 1t did not. 1t kepta list OF
the names. In this way 1t was discover.

Dr.. r. c. Frame of Dover was called to
testify that he had received the money
from Sheriff Shaw for the amount on the
farm sold to Boggs. 1t was admitted, and
the doctor did not testify.
William M. Dickson, clerk Of the peace
of Kent county. was called. He testif d to
having loaned check for 900 to X. r.
Kennsy. which was for Bogg'. IT was
marked W. N. b. The money was repaid.

titled that he was the contractor who had
tho building Of the house, for Boggs Tho

tor, partly Kcnnoy and ono of +. 4. Coop
