Sir Cosmo Answers.

SIR Cosmo made reply which Sir Rufus
Isaacs was unable to get from him last
week: 81 never knew the boat went back
The attorney appearing In behalf of Irish
third class passengers asked Duff-Gordon
if he had suggested that the boat go PACK
on receiving a negative reply he asked
you saved your lives and left the others
TO drown
Lord Mersey: The position Of the wit
ness is bad enough. DO you think 1t falr
to ask such questions?'
This brought a round of applause from
the women in the court room. which was
repeated time after time without word
from the Judge. Applause is usually re-
pressed in English courts of law.
During tho examination Of Duff-Gordon
q ouestion was asked about the actions Of
j. Bruce 1smay, general manager "f the
White Star Line. on the night Of the trag-
edy. Lord Mersey asked with whom MT
Ismay had dined on the Sunday evening.
uff-Gordon replied: Mr. Ismay and the
doctor dined alone
Lord Mersey said he had asked the ques-
ton as no had received letter from
woman incosing the menu Of an alleged
banquet on that evening.
Duff.Gordon underwent grilling cross
examination. which, however. did not nave
the effect Of altering his evidence. Lord
Mersey remarked that the whole incident
had only a small bearing on the inquiry
and that he hoped that ii would be unnec-
essary to call Lady Duff-Gordon.

Gordons said Lady Gordon desired 10 sivi
evidence. "A statement which was relief

Discrepancy in Testimony.

Allen C. Edwards, NJ T., counsel FOR thu
Dockcrs' Union. called attention TO the off
ference between the evidence OF @. Symons
the lookout OF the Titanic, and that OF Sir
Cosmo. The former had said both women
and men rushed to the boats, while the
haronet insisted that his story that he had
been waiting on the deck for some time
before asking permission TO enter boat
was correct.
Mr.. Edwards: Then the possibility Of
Offering help to people In the water was
never thought of" Dun-Gordon admitted
this
Mr., Edwards: 1T was more important to
think of Offering present of u than To
think Of going to the rescue OF the drown
ing?"
Sir Cosmo. who lost his temper. was
finally relieved Of this unfriendly cross
examination and under the direction or
Attorney Duke went over his story lf the
incidents. which is now familiar.
Lady Duff-GOrdon was then called 10 give
testimony. In fifteen minutes the incident
which 10 many women had crowded the
court in order to witness was ended.
LADY Duff -Gordon repeated her husband <
story almost without varie ton. She denied
she had said anything about going back to
the scene of the wreck while in tho life
boat. When she was examined In regard
to articles which had appeared in tho
American newspapers, she said the descrip-
ton OF the might Of the disaster credited 10
her in those articles had not been written
by her.
Three members Of the crew OF the life
boat confirmed the assertion that nothing
had been said about going back. One
varied the usual story by saying the boat
did return to the scene.
This closed the evidence in regard to the
much discussed lifeboat.
