Justice Davis sustained his objection
so Mr.. Martin didn't get a chance to
answer il. though later he was allowed
to say that Cummins had told him 'in n
general way about the fertilizer com
pany and DAWSON But Mr.. Steuer
persisted:
Didn't Cummins tell YOU that he had
outwitted and outgeneralled Dawson. and
that Dawson was very sore against Cum
Minis, and had it in for him in every
way?"
This was also objected to, so the law
yer asked:
Didn't Cummins tell you that he didn't
get one cent of the S500000?'
NO" was the reply.
In other words. you mean TO tell the
Jury that he said he got some of the
money!"
Yes. sir"
The trust agreement on which the
prosecution hangs its contention that
Cummins stole the $4,000 is contained
In the following letter, written by r. l..
Smith, vice president OF the Carnegie
Trust Company. to Bradley Martin. jr..
which was introduced as evidence in the
morning:
New York. April q. 1910.
