 Hive are in more trouble than Harry Thaw. Fourteen counts, by G-i Last October %, that was back of George Hol- brooks. November 6, April !, Putnam Fair Ground fire. That is the only thing that interests me. That's all they've got on us. If We could get anything to eat would just as soon stay here. Officers worked on the case day in and day out, week in and week out,month in and month out. Neither Howarth or Cain made any statement. Captain Murray remarked af- ter returning Ito Putnam, that it was as touching matter as he had been called te perform in twenty years. When Howarth was arrested, Howarth sad, "I am glad this has come to head" This last she said was evidently read from a newspaper)
 c He told ne had a dollar bill. new CT changed bill in that restaurant Tn my life. very seldom eat there. What time is Henry coming downP
 H-He is coming this afternoon. l thought when arrested
 C-I shook more than l thought 1 would when arrested.
 1.-The fair ground fire is the one l care about, and 1 forced that issue on them. If could get something to eat l would be satisfied.
 C-I don't like it.
 H-You are not satisfied. l thought they were going to keep us up in that old hole, half troze.
 C-You have been in the business.
 H-Don't you turn against me.
 C-What the h. good would 1t do mep
 H-I knew d. well they got nothing on you. Looks nice outside, don't itP
 C--l will die at my post.
 H-This wlll be an awful thing. Pro- fanlty.) One thing ought to have asked Searls to read count by count. People must know we were not there, two of them five miles away.
 C-Hurey said to me: "Were you at the iair grounds at time of the fireP"
 H-You want to claim you are innocent.
 C-If there is any chance of slipping it onto us in the superior court, it's best for us not to say anything.
 H-I know l have been under suspicion for the fair ground fire. l have been used rough right through.
 C-Hurley offered to take me to my own house until got my own coat:
 H-How the h. can they say we did it when we say we did not do it al all9
 (Both sing My Baby Rose.)
 H-When Henry comes down he will bring my laundry and all my stuff l want my brown suit.
 (Hears Cain leave, and return some time later.)

 H-I never made any such statement. No sir, guess not. You know me better tnan that, uOn 9ouf
 C-I hope so.
