A. I don't know; I thought maybe somebody else might do it before I got there.
Q. And you spoke to no one about your intention on all the route you took concerning this, nobody?
A. No, sir; nobody.
Q. Are you familiar with the law in New York with reference to carrying concealed weapons?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. What is it?
A. I know when I bought the gun the man told me, "I have to take that one screw out in order to make the trigger ineffective" and I told him not to do so because I was going to leave town the very same day, which I did.
Q. He didn't take it out?
A. No, sir; he didn't do it; I showed him the ticket for the steamship that I was going south the very same day and he said as long as I was going out the law didn't fit that.
Q. Where were you going to?
