LITTLE INFORMATION
But Plenty of Talk from keene About
Columbus & Hooking Pool.

| New York. Feb. 17.-There were in
timations of bad faith among MEM
bcrs of the pool, regrets for mo
ment of weakness" in which profits of
| S25, coo were overlooked" and many
courtesies, but little information from
James Keene today when he took the
stand again to explain his management
Of the COLLAPSED Columbus & Hooking
pool
Mr.. Keene's books proved too blind
for counsel for the receiver and too
| blind for him. There were entries show
| ing purchases and sales, hut nothing
| to show for whose account nor could
Mr.. Eeene remember
| Efforts were made to get Mr.. Keene
| to admit that he sold the pool out.
Entries seemed to show that he was
2700 shares short of the pool on the day
when it collapsed, but it could not be
proved BY the books.
II would like to get an understand
ing transcript of your books, Mr..
keene," said counsel.
| Il should be gratified for you to have
| it," assented Mr.. Keenc. Mr.. keene re-
| iterated his conviction that the second
pool ought never to have been formed
and added that. even after it had been
| formed. he could have sold it out at 60
| with profit of $4,000 for the members
"but they wanted more stock, he
said, land didn't seem to care what
they paid for it, His better Judgment
was overridden and that, he added,
was moment of weakness"
The contradiction between this state
ment and his subsequent assertion that
the stock would have gone to 100. "if
everybody had kept faith" was not
explained.
He received no compensation for his
services, he said, other than what he
made on the pool in common with the
other members.
