William N. Boggs was on the stand
at the afternoon session of U. S. Court |
yesterday in the case Of T. S. Clark, and |
his testimony consumed all Of the af- |
noon. His version Of the rebuttal testi-
mony was interesting, as it was a clear |
denial of all that was adduced yester-
day morning
When Boggs took the stand he was
handed the telegram which has been
in evidence, asking William e. Cotter,
of Philadelphia, to go to Dover. Boggs
read it,
Mr.. Biggs objected and was sus-
tanned.
Mr.. Vandegrift then asked: 'Win
you relate the conversation which you
had with Cotter on that night?"
Alr. Biggs offered another objection,
which was sustained.
NIr. Vandegrift then said: 'Was there
a conversation with Cotter on that
night, and was it about your relations
with the bank?"
1T was. The crisis had come and
notified Cotter because he played an
important part in my transactions"
Boggs then related the conversation
that went on between him and Cotter.
He said that the latter pleaded with
him not to unload the great mass on
him. 'fCotter asked me what Clark
would do" he said, "and told him
that 1 had delivered to Mr.. Clark all
the checks. letters, telegrams and evil
dence. Cotter then said that I ought
not to put all on him, as Clark treated
me fairly"
"Did you or not?" asked Mr. Vande-
grift, "on that night, have any conver-
sation in reference to borrowing money
on the houses in Philadelphia"

the houses as we'll as anyone, and
knew that it was impossible to borrow
money upon them"

Boggs was directed to examine Il
books and found the deposit Of 81

"That is the same 5000 which pass
through the Farmers Bank as has be-
testified to?"
"Yes."
"The entry is in the book?"
