W. J. COOK. 638

two windows to that root. The
transom was not closed over my
door. There are shades to the
windows, but they were up. She
was not in my offles exceeding
ten minutes; did not take any
liberties with ber. I suppose I
shook her hand when she eame
in, receiving her cordially. I did
not embrace her or take any lib-
erties at all with her, nor get hor
on & lounge; was not having in-
tercourse with her when Cook
came in, she was not on the
lounge in my offiee. Cook did
not eateh me, She took off none
of her apparel, that I know ex-
cept, except ‘her coat and hat.
These bloomers were not found
in my office by Mr. Cook that I
know of, ‘They did not come off
Mrs, Hirsch that T know of; did
not on that or any other oveasion
take any liberties with Mrs.
Hirsch. “Mrs. Hirsch never made
any demand on me for money on
that or any other oceasion. Mr.
Cook never made any demand on
me for money at that time or
any other time; never paid Mr.
Cook or Mrs. Hirsch one dollar.
Since February 6, I have not
seen Mrs. Hirsch till this morn-
ing, and have bad no conversa
tion with her; she has made no
demands on me for money; never
heard of two other witnesses be-
ing there at the time, as you say,
I was caught. I didn’t say at
that time, “Oh, Lordy, Lordy.”
My breeches were not unbut-
toned. Mr. Adair is a real ea
tate man, who is a very close
friend of mine of many years.
He handles our property, a good
deal of it, Cook and Mrs,
Hirsch never demanded any
money of me, not a cent, the
next day afterwards, nor any
other time. Mr. Adair repre-

sented me in talking with these
people; he was my representative
entirely.

Forrest Adair. Am in the real
estate business, have béen engaged
in that 39 years; have known de-
fendant Cook for about three
weeks, On the 6th of February
I was requested by Mr. Candler
to come up to his offiee in the
Candler building, and went there
immediately; found Mr. Asa
Candler, Sz.; his brother Judge
John 8, Candler, and his son,
Mr. Asa Candler, Jr. Mrs.
Hirsch ealled up on the tele-
phone, end Mr. Candler an-
swered, I called the number, a
lady answered, and I asked if it
was Mrs. Hirsch, and she said it
was, and I told her who I was
and that I would like for her to
come over to my office and havea
talk with me. She first de-
murred, and asked me if I could
eome down there and I told her
no, or if Mr. Candler would coms
down there first, and I says, “No,
Twill meet yon at my office.” So
sho said that she would come. I
left Mr, Candler’s office and went
down to my office and in a very
few minutes there Mrs. Hirsch
came in. I asked her what all
this meant, and she told me that
she had made an appointment
with Mr, Candler on the Monday
previous to talk with him at his
office, and that she was there and
while with him she saw a man
at the window and made an out-
ery, and Mr. Candler remarked,
“*Tis probably a window wash-
er,” and she then stated, “No, it
was a white, well-dressed man,”
and that she got up and went to
