Mrs. Marian Goldman, at investigator
Tor the New York Probation and Pro-

were kept In Waverly House, an insti-
tuition for women. She also said she had
been coached by detectives and gave the
impression that she had a good time
until after the gangman's trial.
Tells Of Pleasure Trips.
Then. she says, she was sent to the
country for a three weeks vacation and
was promised a trip to the San Francisco
fair. She never got the latter. she swore.
but said she had been taken to the
navy yard In Brooklyn. to Coney Island
and North Beach by Detectives Blanche
and Flood. All Of the time she said she
was rehearsed as to the story she would
tell on the witness stand.
Miss Everdeane. who Is a comely girl
OF twenty, told the court that she had
committed perjury at Madden's trial and
knew that II she were convicted Of this
crime she might be sent to prison for
twenty years.
The witness said that she had up to
a few days Z been living In an apart
ment in West l45th street with owen
Lawlor. a friend Of Madden. and Miss
Horner. When she and her party came
to court yesterday. they used a taxicab
and members of the gang with Miss
Horner left the Criminal Courts Build

Miss Everdeane swore that Deuel. had
threatened her with Imprisonment to
take the place Of Madden II she did not
tell a story that would convict him. At
all time, she said. the prosecutor told her

her to do this.

AT the request Of Mr.. Edwards Miss
! Everdeane picked out members OF the
Madden gang in court. She gave their
names as Owen Lawlor, Barney Cava-
nagh. Dodo F~itzsimmons. in whose house
she was kept for a few days after the
Doyle nurder. and Jack Marin, a
brother-ln-law Of Madden. Others she
mentioned were Joe Dean n Vim

Threatened by Gang.
Miss Everdeane said she had been
threatened after she had testified at
the trial and been given her liberty.
but said that had nothing TO do with
| her affidavit and evidence on the motion
to help Madden. She once complained to
District Attorney Perkins that she had
heard a price of $3.50 had been placed
on her head.
Miss Ererdeane had not finished her
story when court adjourned. Miss
! Horner will be called after Miss Ever
deane finishes her story. Her AFFIDAVIT
in substance corroborates that made by
the other witnesses.
Both Mr.. Deuel. and Mrs. Goldman
heard Miss Everdeane connect their
names with the story she told at the
trial which she now insists was per-
Jured. Both said they would take the
witness stand and deny the statements
made by the witness that they had
coached her.
MIR. Edwards said that In his opinion
the witnesses had "a their recanting
