saw Capt. Morse in the company of Humme
| or Steinhardt. Mr.. Rand wanted TO know
| if he had ever talked to Capt. Morse, and he
made his first refusal to answer, on the
ground that 1t might incriminate him
He said that Howe 4 Hummel kept books
a register, diary ana a cash book, the cash
book showing the fees paid to the firm by
clients. That book, Cohen said, was de-
stroyed every year. Mr.. Rand said he
wanted 10 know il he could get the diary
for 1903 but Cohen said that he wasn't
sure
All through the examination Of Mr. Cohen
Mr.. Stanohheld kept objecting, Mr.. Rand
wanted to know if Cohen knew where one
Snydecker, who is employed in some capac-
ity by the Humme firm, is at present Mr.
Rand also wanted to know about David
Cohen said he hadn't seen him for a couple
Of days. He didn't know anything about
Snydeoker, as ne hadn't seen him for week,
Snydecker is said to be missing.
Then Mr. Rand wanted to know If Cohen
had seen Capt Morse at Stamford. Conn,
say. Mr.. Rand put the following questions
in this order
Did you on February 25 meet Capt. Morse
at Stamford. and did Capt. Morse give you
81. 900. and did you deliver it to Hummel?
Did you on another occasion in the same
month go to Stamford? Did Capt. Morse give
you 81 500. and did you give it 10 Hummrl:
On March 5. 1904, did YOU go to Stamford
in the early morning, get s., 500 in cash from
Capt. Morse and give IT to Hummel2
on another day. in the early morning. in
the same month. did you get $500 from Capt,
Morse and give II 10 Hnmmel?
On June 4. 1904 did you meet Capt Morse at
Stamford. get tl7.jOO from him and give it
to fIumme?
Did YOU on August s. 1904. go to Stamford,
meet Capt. Morse and get s2l 25O in cash
from Capt. Morse and give it to Hummel?
1t ia understood that Capt. Morse will
testify that he paid this money to Cohen
The dates mentioned in the questions
were subsequent to the time that Dodge was
indicted for perjury had fled to Texas
and efforts were being made TO keep him
there.
Chen declined to say that he had talked
with Humrne about Dodee's sojourn in
Texas. He said that he had seen Charles
w. Dodge once, but didn't know him to
talk to. Mr., Rand asked
Was the $1,000 cash bail put up for
Dodge in Texas when he was arrested there
ever given back"
Cohen refused to answer, on the usual
ground. Then Mr. Rand questioned him
about the detective Bracken. Mr., Rand
wanted to know if Cohen had paid
money to Braoken for Hummcl, if he
there after Hummel had been indicted,
and If he had been sending $50 a month
to Bracken or his wife at the request of
Hummel Cohen said that he didn't know
that Bracken was in Paris but he declined
to answer the other questions.
WILL NOT TELL ABOUT MONEY FOR BRACKEN.
How much are you sending Bracken
now" Mr.. Rand suddenly asked.
Nothing shouted Cohen.
How much did you send him a month
ago."
Nothing"
"The month before that"
Nothing"
"And the month before that"
IL decline to answer on the ground that
1t might incriminate me, said Cohen
Kaffenburgh and Cohen were not asked
a question by Hummels lawyers Before
Cohen left the stand, however. there was
consultation between Mr.. Stanchfield,
Mr.. Nicol and Hummel, apparently on the
question OF crOSS-eNamining Cohen. Moth
ing was done, however
While Kaffenburgh and Cohen we're on
the stand Hummel tidgeted in his chair
and drank innumerable glasses of ice water
Once Mr. Rand thought that Hummel was
signalling to Cohen and he jumped in front
of Hummel to block his view Of the wit
ness
Points OF Rand's Opening.
In his opening Mr.. Rand said that 1t was
very distasteful to him to prosecute a fellow
member of the bar-that 1t was repugnant
mortifying to ones professional pride.
The case had been wrongly referred to,
he said. as an intricate and complicated one,
4 u that was neCes AIRY Is to bear in mind
two great Iandnarks, two high monuments.
and the whole thing will be perfectly clear
This conspiracy was particularly cold one,
and the object of its attack was the nstitu-
ton of marriage and the administration of
justice
MIR. Rand then went over the history Of
Dodge's marriage, saying that they had
lived together for twelve years, although
their married life was not particularly
happy one. In 1889 they separated and Mrs.
Dodge came to this city and opened board
porter and kept hotels and restaurants in
Atlanta. Ga. In 1897 there was a con
ference between Dodge and his wife. She
told him that she wanted to divorce him,
and he said he had no objection if it didn't
mean expense for him.
He agreed to be at the Everett House
the next day TO be served with the sum-
mons He was served by William A. Sweet
ser, Mrs. Dodge's counsel, and the final
decree of divorce was entered in 1893. Three
years later Mrs. Dodge married Charles W,
Morse, who had three children by his first
wife. two boys and girl.
"This marriage said Mr.. Rand, was
widely reported at the time. Mr., Morse
was man of some note and prominence.
The marriage of Mrs. Dodge to Morse came
to Dodge's ears, but he said nothing about
it. Here is the situation: Mrs. Dodge was
legally divorced and remarked Charles W.
Morse. This second marriage was not
acceptable to Mr. Morse's people For
various reasons his uncle. with whom he
was on friendly terms took great umbrage.
Now, at the time complaint was made that
Mr.. Morse's children, who were at Bath,
Me-, were not getting the care that they
should and which they had been in the
habit Of receiving from Mr.. Morse.
IL don't think that there was any Just
cause for that complaint or that any ono
will pretend that the charge against Mr.
Morse had any foundl'on, nor is there
anything that can be said-and | say this
