Mr.. Dugan read several letters and teie-
grams that passed between Mrs Cody and
Amasc J. Parker, jr.. OF Albany, in his re-
direct examination. His object was to show
to the jury that Mrs. Cody did not act
alone in prosecuting the claim of Mrs. An
gell, but at the instigation of others. The
witness then was asked to explain why
she wrote TO George Gould the letter upon
which the indictment is based.
Il did il more for the Goulds interest
than for my own" was the reply. Il
wanted TO see him and show him the pa
pers l had. and l was very anxious ne
should see Mrs. Angel"
You said in one letter that you were
not afraid of blackmail What did you
mean by that? Had anyone told you that
you might be prosecuted for blackman?"
Il don't remember" was the reply.
This concluded the examination of Mrs.
Cody. Just before court was adjourned un-
til tomorrow at 10 O'Clock Mr.. Dugan an
nounced that he will put Mrs. Angel on
the stand Immediately upon the reconven-
ing of court in the morning.
