that Bachman got, was that this week?
A. I think 1t was.
q. Was It Tuesday, after the jury
went out? A. cant tell you when It
was. 1t was after we had returned to
the Jury room.
O. From supper? A. Yes, sir.
@. Was that the only whiskey that
was delivered to the jury this week?
A. Yes, sir; to my knowledge.
Q. Now. you have accounted for your
first half pint of brandy as being
brought to You by your wife at your
suggestion? A. 1t wasn't brought to
me by her; 1t was put in my overcoat
pocket and the coat was sent in.
Q. You don't pretend to know who
put 1t In the overcoat pocket? A. Yes,
sir: my wife put 1t in.
Q. Did she bring the overcoat? A.
[ don't know who brought 1t; some-
body brought 1t down; I told her to
send 1t to me in the coat and she did.
My the Court (Archbald): q. Why
didn't you send 1t openly; why did you
smuggle these things in? A. Well, I
don't know that 1t was smuggled; a
person wouldn't be very liable to take
walk down through the streets and
walk UP there with 1t or in here with 1t.
Q. I don't know why person should
be afraid Of a quart Of whiskey, IL they
are using it legitimately? No answer.
OTHERS CLIPPED IN.
Q. You got 1t for the purpose of treat
ing around, didn't you? You din't want
the two quarts yourself? A. No, sir;
did not. The Jurors had been talking
that they wanted something to drink,
they were very thirsty, and when my
wife came down gave her a half-dol-
lar-no. gave her money to go and get
a bottle Of whiskey, asked her to do 1t,
and presently one of the other Jurors
came to me and says, "Heret Kellogg"
he said. "the rest Of us want to do
some of this, too, we don't want you
to do all of this: we want to have an
other bottle" and l said, ''If my wife
wants to bring it l have no objection
to your having a bottle or two or
three" and another juror gave me the
money and told her to bring another
bottle. and I gave her the money, and
she objected quite seriously to bring
Ing It, and I said. II don't want you to
do anything that amt right or any,
thing of the kind, but" I says, here
us fellows are shut up in here and the
most of us are used to taking drink
occasionally. especially IL we don't feel
good, and you know the shape my
stomach has been in. and the fellows
are out one way or another, and I
said, ''it don't do any harm to have it
In here when we don't feel right" and
with considerable urging on my part
she consented to do it.
Q. How many took part in this ar
rangement? A. Really, 1 couldn't tell
how many was in 1t: there was one of
the jurors gave me the money, handed
me the money. and he said several Of
the boys had Clipped in towards pay
ing for it and gave me The money, and
| don't know who they were that fur
nished the money.
@. Who was the juror that gave you
the money? A. Mr.. Bachman, and he
said some of the other jurors had given
him the money. and I know most of
the jurors drank it after it was in
there.
Q. Tell us in what form tshe got this
whiskey into the jury room? A. 1t was
done up in package.
@. What kind of package? A. The
bottles were in one of these cartons;
each one was in one of those and the
two We're wrapped up.
Q. The tipstaff came in and told you
that Mrs. Kellogg brought you down a
of clothing? A. No, sir.
HOW PACKAGE ARRIVED.
Q. What did he tell you? A. He din't
tell me anything: she came up to the
head of the stairs in the hall, and the
tipstaff came to the door and said,
Mr.. Kellogg, your wife is out there"
and I went out and talked with her,
and she laid the package down on the
window sill. and I stayed there and
talked with her until she went away;
then l took the package and carried it
into the jury room.
Q. Where was the tipstaff then? A.
He was right there.
Q. Did you say the tipstaff saw that
package? A. don't know how he
could help it; he was around there in
the hall.
q. Don't you know you and your
wife endeavored to conceal the pack
age? A. Nothing of the kind: she
in her hand. and when went into the |
hall it laid on the window sill.
He gave it as his opinion that all Of |
the jurors save two partook Of the |
Mrs. Kellogg was called, and said she |
got the whiskey after her husband had |
urged her to do so.
Tipstaff Keller was recalled and said |
ne had told Judge Edwards of the |
urors' request for liquor. and the judge |
old him that under no circumstances
vas he to allow liquor to so into the
Jury room.
