The defense was begun and ended
today and Cooke himself gave prac-
tically the entire testimony upon
which il rests. He denied he had
ever stolen a dollar from the Big
Four and that he was aware that
Warreney was accused OF shortage.
He startled his hearers by deolar-
ing Il know Warrener was not short
and can prove it if get the chance. y
Cooke denied he had ever given
Ma. Ford $4,000 and accounted for
his prosperity while he was residing
with her by saying ne had inherited
$4,000 from his mother.
An insinnation on cross.examina.
lion that he had transferred certain
sums to his wife was met by the
further declaration that Mrs. Cooke
had inherited about $4,000 from her
fathers estate here.
