Told Breckenridge

Mr.. Reilly referred to a letter
DR., Condor received on March
10, 1882. He asked DR.. Condor
what he did after receiving this
letter and "Jafsie" replied:
"On that day? Please specify
what you mean. Remember
that, please"
Mr.. Reilly ignored this answer.
He was at the prosecution table
where he was picking up two more
notes.
Heres 4 note postmarked
April 1. Did you receive 1t that
day?"
DR.. Condor studied the stained
letter several minutes before he
answered.
Il received that on or about
April 2, 1882"
Odd you acquaint Colonel
Lindbergh with that letter. Al
asked Colonel Breckenridge to do
so. He was staying at my home

Mr.. Reilly read the note which

Reilly continued:
Q.-And you had the money

DR.. Condor became indignant.

II mean Colonel Lindbergh,
Colonel Breckenridge and you.
How many in your group knew

Q.-Al Reich didn't know? A.

Q.-Is the bench outside of

One of the notes in the sleeping

He explained he telephoned Col.

color to the lusterless country
courtroom.
Talk About Boxers
Suddenly Wilentz stops his
kindly leading, turns to Coun.
selor Reilly and says:
"YOur witness"
Reilly, urbanely dangerous,
arises and an air of tenseness
creeps through the open windows
and settles in the courtroom.
For a moment the world stands
still and Broadway Sighs its ap-
probation.
Reilly breaks re spell.
He and Condor discuss (of all
thingsD the weight classified.
tions of professional boxers.
Condor rattles off the correct
classifications of welterweights,
Junior welterweights, middle
weights. The exactness of Con-
don's replies and his kindly uand
helpful attitude toward his would
be annoyer result in a roar Of
laughter from the crowd.
Howard Lindsey, who wrote
one of the laugh hits Of last
season, is entranced. The Greeks
always maintained that tragedy
and comedy were closely aligned.
The laughter of the crowd
surges around the head Of the
man who is fighting to save his
life. Lindsey, better than any
one In the room, knows what
fine drama this is.
He's Colossal!
The tension is relieved but now
Condor and Reilly spar. Condor
frowns when Wilentz tries to lend
helpful hand and Condor waves
his hand as though to say. II can
take this guy alone"
Walter Winchell, once an actor,
now major columnist, watches
the battle with eager eyes. The
theaters and the night clubs of
Broadway never offered drama
like this.
Adela Rogers st. Johns, novelist
and scenario writer, leans forward
and says to Lois Long, who writes
of fashions and night clubs:
Condor is better than any
thing in Hollywood. He's ter.
rific.''
"He'S colossal"
Broadway has come to Main
Street to watch a man fight for
his life and to see the smash hit
of the year.
Broadway returned late last
night, looked upon its own street
and found it cheap, tawdry, filled
with nothing but synthetic drama.
Broadway had seen the real
thing.

Second Auto There

Q.-Now, was there anything
else, or was there any other per
son in that neighborhood at that
time that attracted your atten'
ton? Ayes, sir.
Q.-Al right. Tell us about that.
A.-There was another automobile
which seemed to be a country au.
tomobile. It had a canvas cover
ing. I was exceedingly careful
while was investigating and
noticed that that was a sort of
country automobile; that is, it
was not one of these polished au.
tomobiles that we see in the city
of New York, for instance, and in
Flemington.
Q.-How far away was that from
you? A.-AcroSs the way. I should
judge the road is at least a hun
dred-foot road, but saw the auto
mobile.
Q.-Was the lighting good there
that night? A-Splendid.
Odd you take the number of
the automobile? Al did not.
couldn't see any number there.
Q.-But you didn't stroll over
In that direction and take the
number of either automobile, did
you? A.-No, sir, I got into the
automobile from the frankfurter
stand and went on riding.
Q.-But you were investigating
carefully, weren't you? Al was,
very.
Dwell, why didn't you take
the number of these two ma
chimes? Att didn't effect me
me at all. I had what I went
after, which was the note.
Q.-That was all you cared
about, the note? A.-That is all.
Following instructions.
Q-Then the note said, "Cross
the street and follow the fence
from the cemetery? Alright.
Q.-Direction to Two Hundred
and Thirty-third Street? A
Right.
Q-What cemetery was that?
Woodlawn? A.-Woodlawn Gem
etery.
Q-Now, in crossing, did you
cross the street then? Al did
not. I got into the automobile
there because I didn't know what
I'd see or notice.
Q.-YeS. Did you pass the two
cars? A.-No, sir, because the
one car, the first to which I re-
ferred, was in a southerly direc.
ton from me. I did not have
to pass that.

COughed Once

Q.-How many timas did he
cough? A.-Once.
Q.-And you suggested that he
take something for the cough?
A.-No, I didn't.
Dwell, what did you suggest? i?
Al suggested that I go to a
drug store and get some medicine.
Q.-And how far away was the
nearest drug store? A.-Oh, I
couldn't tell you that now, but I
could find it: I know all the
places there.
Q.-You wanted him to sit on
the bench there while you went
away to a drug store? A.-No,
I didn't. I would take him with
me if he would come.
Q.-SuppoSe he wouldn't come?
Aft he wouldn't come I would
stay there as I did.
Q.-What were you going to get
him for the pulmonary? A
Well, it might have been Ayers
extract. Do you know it? Well,
that is one. Then there is
Scheneck's cough medicine. I
have taken care of a good many
athletes. and I know what to get.
Q.-How long were you sitting
there? A.-From the time
paced him there until 1 went
away; rough guess, hour and 10
minutes.
Q.-And he only coughed once?
A.-That is all.
