“Yes.”
“When?”
“Upon two or three occasions. I can’t remember the exact dates.”

Freeman Leeds said, “Alden had been up in the Klondike. He told me something about his adventures up there. He’d struck it rich, and Bill Hogarty had been his partner on the claim when they struck it rich.”
“Did the defendant describe William Hogarty to you in any way?”
“He said Hogarty was younger than he was, but a strong lad,” Freeman Leeds said.
