 Since last March, 1907.' Now you said this man stowell said to you that he didn't steal nor that he didn't mean to steal?" Mir, Williams objected MT. Goodhart said that was what he had said at the former trial and then read the testi- mony in the point.
 Did you say that Stowell said he had done no wrong?" If it's on the record. I suppose I did"

 Didn't you testify that you heard him say I didn't have no key to the place."
 If remember correctly - Lawyer Goodhart then read that part of the testimony where McAvoy had said that at the former trial. MT. Williams objected because he read parts of answers and questions and got the witness confused in that man ner
 Did he say I didn't have no key?' .
 ITO the best of my knowledge he didn't"

 Positive
 Detective sMcAvoy testified that he heard a click at the door and that as it opened he and Dorman got in posi- tion to jump, but they did not rush righ, away because the man did not come in. After few seconds they rushed out through the shed and both looked up and down the street but saw no one. Then they quickly went back and then in a doorway in the shed they found Stowell.

 No"
 Didn't you testify that he did say that?"
