necessary for me to make the credit less
than the amount received.
Mr.. Thorndike brought out that the
auditor of the road had duplicates of the
station agents remittance slips with
which to check WARMERS accounts. He
asked Warmer how it happened that the
shortage had not been discovered, the
witness replying:
That's for him to explain
Was there some understanding between
you and the auditor?"
There was not He did not know Of

WARMERS statement on cross-eXamina-
ton that Mrs Ford did not know that he
was short in his accounts, but that she
knew that Edgar S. Cooke Of Chicago
had been short when he left the Big -Four
service, caused general surprise.
1t also has become apparent that War
riner does not intend to accuse Cooke of
blackmail. He repeatedly has declared
that Cooke has never eXtorted money
from him, but that he supplied him with
funds for the purpose of keeping Mrs
Ford silent. as she was equally danger
Gus to both Of them.
Mr.. Thorndyke resumed his interroga-
tions regarding Cookies relations with
Warriner It was brought out that Cooke
had used for his own purposes money
which Warmer had sent to him for the
payment of Mrs. Ford's shopping bills
in Chicago.
A letter from Warmer to Cooke, IN
which the latter was rebuked, was ex-
planned by the witness as having been
caused by Cookies irregular habits and
neglect of his family.
Warmer admitted that one Of his visits
to Chicago had for its object the settle
ment of row between Mrs. Ford and
Cooke. He said that Cooke had beaten
the woman and that she had threatened to
appeal to the police.
Warmer testified that as treasurer in
Cincinnati for the Big Four he had paid
many rebates. Asked if any of them were
illegal he replied: II don't know"

Cincinnati. Feb. 3-That chain OF

and extending over many years cul-
minated in the almost wholesale loot
inc of the Big Four Railroads treasury
was testified to by Charles l.. warn :
rer. defauting local treasurer OIL the
road TO-DAY in the trial of Mrs. jeanette
Stewart Ford for blackmal. Warmer
renresented himself as ran spending
money in ever-increasinS amounts TO

who through her infatuation for one
NJ tb., accused embezzlers, E. S. Cooke,
had learned the secret. Frank Com
stock WARMERS predecessor as loca:
treasurer. was declared 20 be the third
man Warmer told his incredible
story calmly.
According to the witness when he
accented the office as local treasurer
he learned that Cooke was short in his
accounts $4,000. He also learned that
his predecessor, Comstock, was short
s1O.5O0. He himself was defaulter
and to prevent his crime from being
discovered he engaged to conceal the
thefts of the two former officials.
In the story VI Tie S.SdutlC lLeI
there is one question which has never
been definitely answered and the at
torneys for the defence today made an
other futile effort to obtain it's solution.
What become of the $643,00O which
Warriner has confessed was stolen?
The witness declared he had paid APP
proximately $16S,000 in blackmail and
that $4,000 was stolen by others than
himself. The remainder is explained
by him as having been lost in specula :
ton.
During the afternoon session OF the
court Warmer under rigid questioning
admitted that he paid out comparative
ly large sums in rebates and that the
simple auditing of his accounts at any
time would have disclosed his shortage
to the company.
Il assumed Comstock's shortage as
part of my own" said Warmer.
A ruling by Judge Swing that all the
testimony regarding the defalcation OF
Warriner is relevant in the trial of Mrs.
Ford, today opened the way for a de-
tailed sworn statement from Warmer
as to the amounts he had taken and
what he had done with them. Warri-
ner said:
