Mr.. Bertolette," asked Mr.. White,
what was his general average in col

that Coles standing was a matter of
college record. The court overruled
the objection, but Mr.. White put the
question in a different way: What was

THE UNKNOWN TEsTIFIEs.
Harry w. Barriclow, who has been
heretofore the unknown dark, tall
man in the case, was the next wit
ness. He seemed absent-minded while
testifying. Barriclow said he met Cole
in front of the Dental Hall of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania on the morning
of May II. Both went to a college
demonstratOr' Office and from there TO
Coles house. At Coles house, he said,
Cole brought in kettle of beer Two
kettles were brought in and one was
upset
AT whose suggestion did you come
to Wilmington on that night?" Mr..
Hayes asked.
I'VE came on my suggestion. Cole
had told me about his visits to Will
mington. Mrs. Robertson objected to
Cole going to Wilmington. 1t was
raining and 1 said we had better have
an umbrella. Cole got the umbrella.
He had a bat, too, and tossed il to me,
saying: Here's your bumbershOOt.' I
carried the bat until We reached 227
Orange street. We came down on the
b. e. o. and boarded a car lin Will
mington) and went downtown. We
stopped at a saloon and got a drink. We
went to 227 Orange street. held the
bat awhile and starting out for some
thing gave it to Cole, telling him TO
hold it for me until came in"
Whom did you come to see in VIII
mington?" Mr.. Hayes asked. Witness
replied: I'VE did not come to see any
one in particular.
Morris Jacobson, another fellow stu
dent of Coles, boarded at No. 1863 Lo-
Gust street, diagonally across from
Coles. Jacobson's home is in Syracuse
n. Y. He said that Coles conversation
was oftentimes broken up-discon-
lnected. He knew that Cole studied as
much as seventeen hours a day, and he
used bromo caffeine by the dozens. '
| Jacobson visited Cole frequently. "Cole
would say things and forget instantly
what he said. One time" witness said
Cole caught hold of a child and threw
it into the air. He acted as though hs
was crazy"
William A. ROuch, of No. 1868 Lo.
Gust street, Philadelphia, said he was
present when Cole threw the child int
the air and he had told jacobson tt
take the child from Cole, as he was act
ing like a man who did not know whar
he was doing"
