Cardozo and Farrell, to whom 1 had
been introduced, were in the room.
The first two packages contained little

spondence, and l found nothing in
them that 1 thought would be of any
service to me in the case in hand.
Among the papers composing the third
package 1 found a legal envelope,
empty. bearing the inscription: From

and Gulf Railroad bonds, $54 900" 1
quietly put this envelope into nv
pocket. Another envelope, which had
evidently contained some sort of an
agreement between Gen. Roddy and
Miss Shotwell, was in the package
and 1 pocketed that. Finishing the
search 1 returned the packages to
Kelso.
l was mystified by the presentation
OF the three packages of papers be-
longing to Miss Shotwell. There was
little doubt that Brooks was the mys-
ter1ous client Attorneys Cardozo and
Farrell declined to name. could IN
derstand why the papers were present

loaded on the carriage, and told the
hotel employees she was going to Mo-
bile. Instead We drove to the Briggs
house, where she secured rooms. She
was to remain at the hotel in order to
be within call when needed.
The case seemed to call for quick
action. 1 did not believe, as did my
fair client, that the trunk had been
broken open at the fremont house.

The Brooks case came UP before
Justice Bowling, who was promi-
nent member Of the Tammany organi-
cation. Bowling and BOSS" Tweed
were close personal and political
friends. Kelso and Bowling were
closely associated as members of the
same political organization, and
Brooks attorneys were influential in
court and police circles. 1t was for
these reasons that had taken the
case to the grand jury. so that If it
were allowed to die natural death
in the city court-as many cases in
which defendants are influential are
allowed to do in all cities-the state
courts would still have jurisdiction.
During all this time Miss Shotwell
had maintained consistently proper
attitude for person who had been
robbed and who wished to see the
thief punished.

York, written in behalf of John D.
Townsend, a prominent attorney of
that city. The New York state assem-

learned that on that day, in the after
noon, tall man wearing a light suit
and a fur cap had summoned him to
aid in opening a trunk, explaining he
wanted to change clothes, and had
lost the key to the trunk Pendleton,
the porter, had given him a hammer
and cold chisel, which were returned
a little later. Everett, however, had
not changed clothes, and this fact
was remarked by the porter After
disappearing from the hotel a short
time, Everett had returned and or
dered the trunk sent to Chicago.
