Employees stories Dincr.

Mr.. Caldwell said he questioned dozens
of Davis's employees. but no two could
tell the same story. Davis would tell
him only that he acted in self defence %
lie would not tell what happened in
that minute or two he and Bridgetts
were alone that made him act in self
defence.
When Davis was arraigned Howard
r. Nash, fiis counsel. moved for an ed
journment till February 25. then con-
ferred with him for two hours in Ray
mond Street Jail. He asserted to re-
porters he also had not learned what
happened in those minutes. and refused
TO answer further questions. He branded
as false report that Davis and
Bridgetts had grown quite chummy
since Davis reported the theft Of his
automobile and that some personal diff
ference might have led to the violence.
Throughout his arraignment In Adams
Street Court and his earlier presence
In the lineup" at Brooklyn Police
Headquarters Davis was remarkably
unmoved, bearing out the description OF
detectives who first visited the scene of
the crime that Davis was the coolest
man there" He answered questions OF
reporters about his life and business in
a monotonous, Unconditional tone, but
would not speak of Thursdays events.

The forgetfulness of small

quite bothered US over the Sun

to us?
