walk out toward the waiting room
Il could not have been mistaken AS to 1t
being Whifmore, as 1 had known him
so long.
ct walked out through the gates
into the rotunda and dow the long
station toward the Cortlandt street
ferry to catch the ! o'clock boat for
Manhattan.
Just at that time there was trouble
at one of the gates when a man tried
to get by without paying his fare. The

Whitmore again.
'I was within five feet of Whitmore
at the time and saw his face, l could
not be mistaken that it was Whit
more. l heard him say to the fellow
who had tried to beat his way: Well,
you are a cheap skate!
No Grudge Against Whitmore.
"Whitmore wore a black derby hat
and dark Clothes"
On cross-exemination by Alexander
Simpson, chief counsel for Whitmore,
Quinn was asked how he knew Whit
more on the platform W the
rains when he d~isembarked from the
Newark train.
IT knew him by his carriage and walk.
I had known him so Icing I could not be
mistaken"
Have you or had o any grudge
against Whitmore?" asked Simpson.
mo" responded the witness.
did you speak to Whitmore when
you were so near him?" persisted Simp-
son.
mo" again answered the witness, Il
had no occasion to talk with him.
Saw Only WhitInore's Back.
as it not true that you only saw
Whitmore's back when you got off the
train?" Quinn was asked.
Eyes, he admitted.
: Simpson then asked Quinn whom he
was visiting in Newark on the night of
the murder.
Quinn stated hat he was calling on
a young woman in Newark, whose
name he declined to reveal.
Mr.. Simpson persisted, but Mr.. Wick
ers objected ~strenuously, and, APP
preaching Justice Swayze, held a whis-
pered conversation with him.
The court then ruled hat Quinn need
not answer in the courtroom, but that.
If the defense desired. the name should
be given to the court. the jury and the
attorney TOT the uelenSe.
Simpson then stated that he would
withdraw the question.
Prior to Quinn's testimony, Whitmore
had appeared supremely confident as
the result of the testimony given by
his friend Mcdonald, the Bowery
waiter.
After Assistant Prosecutor Vickers
had scored with his admission from
the witness that he had not seen Mrs.
Whltmore about the Adams street,
BROOKLYN, home on Christmas or the
day following, Mr.. Simpson, on cross
examination. asked if Mcdonald had
not heard about Mrs. Whitmore's in
tention to go ava on a trip.
Eyes" said the witness, II remember
distinctly that several days prior to
Christmas that there had been talk
about the house to the effect that Mrs.
Whitmore had announced her inten-
ton of going away for a FIVE days
trip beginning Christmas Day.
Saws Trunk was to BE Sent.
Were you told this by Mrs. Whit
more?" the witness was asked.
NO he answered.
"Was any trunk taken away
YES said Mcdonald. "Whitmore
had made arrangements to have an eX-
pressman take his wife's trunk away.
Pressed as to the time McDonatl
said that he was certain that Whit
more had made the arrangements ABOUT
the trunk prior to December 26.
This testimony is regarded as of the
utmost Importance by the defense as
proving that WhitmOre had not made
arrangements with nu expressman after
the murder. rs alleged by the pGIiec.
Mcdonald, a well-appearing young
man, testified also as to how Whitmore
invariably went to Bob's restaurant
to eat after he had finished his nights
work as q motorman on the shuttle
train plying between the Brooklyn
bridge and Chatham square,
Missing Link in
The testimony of Mcdonald and othei
L employees was evidently INTRODUCED
by the prosecution for the purpose OF
tracing Whitmore's movements from
the time Quinn syears he saw hina a
the Jersey City terminal of the Penn
s%ylvania Thus far they cannot estap-
fish his movements prior to his last be
ing seen by Quinn and when he wa,
next seen on the elevated station al
Brooklyn Bridge by Harry Segal, con.
ductor of his shuttle train: Henry y
Kaufman. a platform man, and Ion
Fessinger. another platform man.
