The Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany, named as co-defendant in the suit
of DR.. Lee M. Hurd of Greenwich, Conn.,,
against Mrs. Laura r. Cramer, the State
Department employe charged with secur-
ing $4,000 from ighty-nine-year-old Fem
ton J. Hurd by means of alleged spirit
communications from the dead wife of
the octogenarian, has filed its answer.

fraudulent transactions in the receipt Of
knowledge of the financial affairs Of the
to the evidence to be adduced from an
itemized statement of Mrs. Cramers ac-
count with the company.
BY separate statement the company
segregates the larger items of .ie &C
count, and shows that drafts aggregat-
ing $31,O0O-not $4,000 as acknowledged
in the answer of Mrs. Cramer-were de-
posted to her credit, of which $4,000 In
deposits of $4,000 and $4,000, appear to
have been made by Fenton j. Hurd In
person. although credited to Mrs. Cramer.
Big Deposit in Currency.
In addition to this $31. 900 the itemized
statement shows a deposit of 5000 in
currency September 81, 1905. If this came
from the source admitted by Mrs. Cramer
as to the $27.OOO it would bring the
amount up to $4,000, but little short of
the $4,000 claimed by DIR. Hurd to have
been secured from his aged grandfather.
The list Of drafts submitted by the
company shows that all were drawn by
the Citizens State Bank of st. Charles,
Mimi, on the Hanover National Bank Of
New York CITY, The dates of the inStru-
ments. the date of deposit of each and
the amounts follow: May %, 1904; May

the third and fifth items, which appear
to have been deposited by Mr.. Hurd, all
the other drafts were placed by Mrs.
Cramer to her own account.

 ''Allen took a ride during the Hud- son-Fulton week" says Masterson. He paid the s15O advance graft that was exacted during that period by some companies without demur He couldn't help himself. But after the cab started he looked at the indica- tor flag. It should have pointed at an angle of 45 degrees above the hor- izon. Instead it was pushed clear down out of sight. Mir. Allen tapped on the window and the cab stopped.
 You have that indicator down to the double fare notch, said Allen. Put it back where it belongs
