Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-05-26

F any pawnshop in my life.
 That night we did not go near Sixth avenue. was not present any where when pistol was purchased, then or at any other time. As for this man Stern, never saw him.
 All the time, from the moment l left the race track on June 3 till got home, both Morgan Smith and his wife were with me-
 Nan Meets Young.
 It was about II o'clock when Young called her up and asked her to meet him: Y took the train. went to One Hundred and Fortieth street, and when got to the bottom of the stairs l saw MT. Young standing in front of a saloon on the corner.
 MT. Young was talking to man I did not know who at the time-and as he saw me coming he nodded his head for me to keep on going and not to stop. I walked by them-didn't recognize them at all. had not gone very far when MT. Young came walk Ing back of me and whistled. knew the whistle. It was one he had used to lttract my attention. The tune was: Tell Me, Pretty Maiden!
 T started to walk faster-just play ing. He ran up and grabbed hold Of my arm and we walked up to the cor ner, then crossed the street and walked down to the next corner, back to One Hundred and Fortieth street.
 He explained to me who it was he had been talking to-it was Mir Luce. his brother-in-law
 We took surface car down to Eighth avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street. Then we went into saloon. as he said: fFt
 Let's go in hero and sit down and have a. talk He ordered glass of beer for me, but would not let me drink it. He said:
 ".I don't want to sit here. What will we do-take driver And says, All right We left there and went outside and got into a cab and drove for an hour or an hour and half through Central park
 Young Plans Trip to Europe.
 While alone with MT. Young in the saloon and in the cab. he said: Now Nan, will tell you what it was I had to say to you this afternoon. I must go away; I have been trying to plan and see how could get out of it, but there is absolutely no way; the only thing for you to do is to come on after me; we are going on slow steamer, and you must leave on a fast one, be- cause I planned and planned and planned; besides, told the folks l would go on a fishing trip and leave my wife with Harry Thatcher's wife. He is my chum in England. And on this supposed fishing trip I will meet you. and we can be together for three or four weeks. Now, will you do thats'
 q said supposed I would. I did not give him any definite answer, but I did not want to go. We'll, we talked about what we would do when we got over there, and one thing and another and finally returned to the saloon
 Young had arranged to meet Luce here and go home with him, so that his wife would not suspect that he had met Nan.
 Young Drinks Heavily.
 While we sat there guess MT. Young had Is or 20 drinks of straight whisky. I drank very little. He talked about the way he had been spending money, and when he had the money out of his pocket to pay for some of the drinks he counted of five S2o bills and he said: Here. put that with the rest of your money; put all that money somewhere so that Luce will know nothing about 1t. Don't for goodness sake make any break and say you are coming over there. Be- cause if Mrs. Young ever saw you again there would be trouble
 He would not let me put the money in my purse for fear that Luce would see it. He made me take all my money and put it in my stocking. Then told him I was hungry. and he suggested going over to Luce's table and having something to eat. He was beginning to show the effects of his drinking. So the three of us had something to eat and Mir. Young and l drank some more-half and half it was. There was no ouarreling there. however-the only thing he showed any anger about was when he thought did not want to go over to Europe very much.
 When we left the hotel Mir. Young was very much in liquor. MT. Luce went to get a cab. Mir. Young said: Nov. you get in and drive up 10 One Hundred and Fortieth street with us and then drive down to the hotel I said. Why. cannot do it.. It is so late now Mrs Smith will be worrying about me. I must get home. It is getting light. IL is daybreak.' So that made him very angry because I would not drive up to the house with him. l said wanted to drive down. You can either drive down with me and then gt. back or else want to go home alone
 Kissed Her Good Might. When Mir. Luce got the cab Mir. Young took me by the arm and walked me over to 1t and stopped. I did not want to get in and said so. He did not like it. He said. Call another cab Another cab came and he put me m ths sfsp When he vzs drunk he
