At this time. Annie said. Coulson's
activities against her had just begun.
IL was noticeable. however. that the
writing on the two postal cards did
not correspond.
Annie testified that Hibbler once
told her that for 5000 he could Sc
cure the appointment Of a Hungarian
to- the police force. but it did not APP
pear that any such deal had ever been
closed
BY this time the court was ready
for recess, for the crowded court
room, stuffy under ordinary con-
ditions, was becoming most uncom-
fortably hot. After breathing spell
Annie started IN on Capt Newberry

her story on the stand. The captain

More Presents for Newberry.
"He kept! after me all the time, say.

tinued the witness. land finally he
asked me TO buy him diamond stud.

For Christmas, last year. | gave
Capt. Newberry a cut-glass lamp that
cost $3s. About New Years he came

which the separate charge OF com

Is based. This was about the time

take the names OF the persons whom
Coulson was questioning and the po
lice would get affidavits, too. This
was done. she said, and she named
several persons. mostly foreigners
whose affidavits. she asserted. had
been taken in police headquarters.
