made the goat, but that Mr.
Candler waa a good man, and
she felt very strongly and af-
feetionately for him; she ad-
mired Mr, Candler; she said she
had thought a good deal abont
Mr. Candler’s great work; that
she had always had a great de-
sire to do charitable and philan-
thropic work herself, but she had
never had the means, the money,
to do it, and it had always been
her ambition to be in a position
where she could not only have
the personal touch with the peo-
ple with whom sho was working
in a charitable way, but at the
same time be in position to fur-
nish the money to carry out the
ihings that she might decide
were hest and most charitable;
that being true, that ehe thought
that Mr. Candler could well af-
ford to bo extremely liberal with
her, and because it meant so
much to him, he was such a
prominent man in every walk of
life, in every phase of his life,
and she had come across a clip-

ing where he kad given Emory

niversity a millon dollars; ahe
said, “I think he would be get-
ting off light if he gave me half
that sum, $500,000"; she said
that she wanted a sum that would
about pay to her husband some
debts he had made on her ac-
count, that she didn’t want to
leave him like a piker, and that
she wanted to deposit in bank
to his credit a sum that would
put him through, and it would
take $5,000; there was no paper
on the table, but the morning
Constitution, and she wrote on
the margin of the Constitution
three figures, $1150, $1300,
$1500; she stated one of these,
the $1150, represented money
thet her husband had expended

incident for her operation in the
hospital a few months previous,
and that the $1300 represented a
som that he owed to an insur-
anes company, and that $1500
represented a mortgage on a
piece of property that he owed,
and then, without adding them
up, she wrote $4350, and then
“ underneath that wrote $150, and
says, “I eannot figure them all
up sow, but I figured them all
up the other evening, and they
amount to $5000, and I want
that sum to deposit for him”;
(the pieces of paper torn from
the Constitution testified about,
is identified as Exhibit “B” by
the reporter); she says, “Now,
when I leave my husband I will
leave a deposit book showing
this $5,000 deposited to his
credit in the bank; thst is to
be with the farewell note”; I
stated to her we would have a
further conference among our-
selves about it and would let her
know later what we would have
to aay, and she left the office; I
bad no authority or permiscion
to pay her anything, or Cook,
sither; I never offered her any-
thing; after that, I never saw
her or Cook, either, any more,
until this morning; I didn’t have
any authority from Mr, Candler
to offer these people one penny,
and I didn’t do it,

Mr, Cooper, I want to regis-
ter one more objection to all this
testimony; I objeet to the con-
versations that oceurred between
Mr, Adair and defendant and
Mrs. Hirsch, upon the farther
ground that any conversation
that occurred between the de-
fendant and Adair could not
bind the defendant on trial be-'
cause he is not the progeeutor in
the ease; he isa third varty,/
