“What did she say?”
“Look at the fix you are in.”
“Did he reply?”
“I did not hear him say anything else.”
Edward H. Convey, foreman of laborers at Madison Square garden, was called to further identify the pistol Brudi took from Thaw, and which Convey helped in turning over to the police. He was not cross-examined.
Policeman A. L. Debes, who arrested Thaw, was called. He identified the pistol, the bullets, and empty shells introduced as exhibit.
“Did you have any conversation with Thaw?” asked Mr. Garvan.
“I did,” he replied.
“I asked the prisoner if he had shot Stanford White, and he said, ‘I did.’ I then asked him why he shot him and he said, ‘Because he ruined my wife—or life.’”
“You could not distinguish whether he said wife or life?” was asked.
