 e There mi.at have been or should have been. But the fact that these women wer. objec,ing to buy ing ,hc tickets, that refreshes your memory as to whether the ladies were charged as well as eho gentle mem

 A They were all one
 e. And any art.le referring to the purchase of the armory could just d, well refer 10 onr phase of 1t as to the other?

 O. I'm not ask ng that I'm ask ing that generally speaking. without reference to any particular phase of the transaction, whether an article purporting to dea. with the purchase of the armory. hat article would naturally refer to the whole transac- ton as distinguished from what you referred to on your direct cXamina- ton, (Objecton and argumenD Well, now you say on direct eXami- nation that MT Gordon, since this thing happened, since he sold the building, adyertisnd with you less than before. How do you account for that?
 A. Well, there may be less busi- ness. or less goods to advertise. Q. What was the purpose of your looking up that data, do you know?
 A. The district attorney suggested l look it up.
 Q. Did he suggest to you what the purpose was

 A. Yes.
 o. You haven't given it in inches, or however you advertise. The money he has paid you since this transac- ton was very much less than before?
