thing connected with the fire until he gave you the $50?"
 No, only wages, about $40 that he owed me"
 Tt was on the third hoor Just above it on the fourth floor was my work room, where some furniture was stored. There was also some paint there"
 It was at this point that Cook was excused. When he was again called to the stand he said that on the 24th of December he and Captain Hodgdon went upstairs to the work room to see if they could find some cans and that they stayed upstairs twenty minutes or half an hour. He said that on the way upstairs he left his valise with tools in Captain Hodgdons rooms; his large satchel he had left in the depot. He said that he left small bundle which he had at the end of the bar before go- ing upstairs. In this connection it may be stated that gentleman who lives in Springfield stated that at the end of the bar there was a door which led into the closet and that the place would be an unusual one in which to leave bundle. Continuing, Cook said that after stay ing in the paint room ten or fifteen minutes he went to the depot after his large satchel which contained his clothes, leaving the hotel by the ladies' entrance. He said he went out this en- trance because it was the easiest way. Later however, he said he went out that entrance because he did not care to be seen. He said that when he went af- ter the kerosene and when he went to the depot he left Captain Hodgdon in his bedroom. Then he said that when he went out to get the oil Captain Hodgdon told him to get it at a store next door, if he could. When he came back he entered the hotel by the ladies' entrance 'so people couldn't see him. !" Asked by MT Barbour why he had gone out that way, he said: T didn't want them to see me going down stairs be- cause they shouldn't see me coming up." He said that after he had pur- chased the oil he took 1t upstairs in the hotel to the paint room, leaving Captain Hodgdon in his bedroom trying candles to see how long they would burn.
 MT. Barbour-"How long did they 
 burn?"
 q think he found that they would burn the whole length in twenty min utes."
 Why didn't you tell that yesterday?" ''I didn't think of it. Then Cook said after filling the | smaller cans with oil in the paint room | he took them down to Captain Hodg- | dons bedroom and fitted candles to | them there. He said that then he pack ed the cans in his satche1 with a news paper and then went to supper between and o'clock.
 MT. Barbour-'FThen Captain Hodg- don was in his bedroom all the time that afternoon and evening so far as you know, except when you went after the oil and to the depot?"
 'Yes''
 At this point court adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. | In the course of the cross-e -examina- tion in the forenoon Mir. Barbour asked Cook if Mr. White ever took couple of women away from him. He replied that he had not, and that he had never said that MT. White took Miss Jen- | nings or a Mrs. Lane away from him. He said, however, that he had known women of that name. It is probable l that one of these women will figure ir the trial later. At one point in the fore. noon's examination, suddenly leaving l the matter about which he had been | questioning Cook, MT. Barbour asked Were you in hotel in Cheshire when 1 it burned?"
 "Yes"
 The hotel in question was owned by l Touhy, the Orange street restaurant keeper which burned in 1892. Again during the forenoon Cook said that Hodgdon had suggested that a stick ot l dynamite be thrown into the Tontine cafe. Witness said he told the captain that this could not be done
