signed still another document at Glib
sons request, the purport Of which
he was ignorant Of. Gibson gave him
back one handbook showing a deposit
of about S1,4JO, saying that was the
allowance which the court had made
upon the final disposition OF the case.
Later, growing suspicious, and upon
the advice of friends, he instituted an
inquiry, and then learned for the first
time, he alleges, that judgment had
been entered against him purporting
TO be by confession Of the other Train
or In favor OF Finis +. Montgomery
for the sum Of S2O,O17 80. He found
that the judgment against him had
been entered in the County Clerks Of
flee, and purported 10 be in payment
Of four promissory notes payable (and
here enters the mysterious womam to
Rosa Guerra.
In his petition Trainor then sets forth
that he had absolutely no knowledge Of
the matter set forth in the confession
OF judgment, or memory Of having ex-
ecuted or acknowledged II. He further
alleges that he did not know and never
saw a person by the name of Rose
Guerra, named in the confession OF
Judgment as being the holder OF the
four promissory notes. alleging that if
his signature were in fact attached to
any Of these papers it was obtained by
fraud.
General Denial from Gibson.
TO these charges Of fraud Gibson
entered a general denial. and told.
when on the stand before the referee,
an entirely different story as to the
transactions involving the old mans
money. According 10 this story told
by Gibson, Trainor himself came to
Gibson's office and told him he wanted
Ia settle S24, 900 on a woman Of whom
he was very fond. Gibson suggested
that he do so by will, but to this
Trainor demurred. saying neither he
nor the woman wanted IL done that
way.
Finally. said Gibson. Trainor came
back TO him a second time with a
woman. Here again crops mp the In
evita BILE parallel with the Szabo case,
for this woman was introduced TO Glib
son. who in his innocence accepted hef
as Rosa Guerra. dear friend OF
Trainor Similarly Mrs. Menschik was
introduced 10 Gibson. and I'm his inno-
cence he accepted her on the intro
duction alone. he has said in talking
about the Szabo matter.
At any rate. Trainor introduced this
woman TO him. testified Gibson. and
said she was the one he wanted to
give his money 10. Gibson described
her az being at that time woman ~
about thirty-fve years. plump. dark
complexioned and OF foreign appear
ance. This description, coupled with
other information. IL what gave rise
Yesterday To the theory that Rosa
Guerra was mono other than Rosa
Szabo.
At this confidence Gibson testified.
Tralnor agreed 10 give the woman
four promissory notes for an aggregate
OF $4,000. as means OF settling the
money on her. and the notes were
thereupon drawn uP.
Later. said Gibson. Trainor came 10
his Office, and said he had been sued
by FINS L. Montgomery. represented
BY JOSEPH L. Young. and asked him.
Gibson TO fnd out what IT was about.
Gibson said he investigated and found
that the four notes had been assigned
10 Montgomery by Rosa Guerra for the
purpose OF bringing suit, and when he
advised Trainor OF this, telling him to
defend the action, Trainor said he
wished 10 pay, because he wanted the
woman 10 get the money.
Gibson goes on 10 say that Trainor
gave him t25. 900 and told him 20 settle
with the woman for what he could,
keeping the difference for himself as
fee. He did this. he says, having
Trainor sign a confession OF judgment
AZ the means Of settling the suit, pay
ing Joseph L. Young, who represented
Montgomery. $1,000. and Rosa Guerra
$4,000, keeping $4,000 for himself. This
transaction. he said. took place In
Young's Office.
Concealed Woman's Address.
At this point the lawyers for Trainor
nade an effort 10 obtain the address
