any definite form, it would have.
If it had been definite or indefinite,
if it occurred to your mind that the
suggestion was an improper attempt to
approach you, wouldn't it have made
an impression upon you? If it had oc-
CURED to my mind at the time; if it
forced itself on my mind at the time

should have remembered it.
Did it up to that time, or can you
recall since anything he said that oc-
CURED to your mind or carried the sug-
gestion to your mind that he was at
tempting to approach you improperly
Not up to the time
Up to the time when you were Joined
by these three gentlemen? No, sir.
The twenty or twenty-five minutes,
or such a matter, that you were talk
ing there in privacy, and he was try
ing to persuade you to vote for him,
so far as you can now say there was
no improper suggestion to you what
ever? Nc, sir:
You didn't think there was, did you?
: No, sir.
J \ DELICATE SENSE OF HONOR
I take it that, like all other gentle
in these matters? Yes, sir.
And, having a high and delicate sense
| of honor, do you not know that Mr..
/ NcCune could not have, even in the
most indefinite way, have suggested
anything improper to you that it would
not have struck you as something alb

my mind in that form, it would, I'M
doubtedly.

to, during the twenty minutes that you
and he were there alone. could have
made improper suggestions to you? Yes,
sir.
without being heard by other people?
Yes, sir: if he had done it quick.

twenty minutes to do it in, didn't he?
