A. No, sir; never, I have always stayed out of trouble, I have never been in any trouble whatever, and this trouble I committed myself, now I am contented I did.
Q. You are not a bit sorry?
A. No, sir. You may look up the records of all New York police headquarters, because I have never been there, I have never been arrested there.
Q. What did you say your name was?
A. John Schrank.
Q. Did you tell anybody that you were going to leave your baggage there?
A. I told them people I was going to stay away for about three days.
Q. Did you make any arrangement for them to send it in case you wrote for it?
A. No, sir; I stopped there two days and paid eight dollars in advance for a week's board, and I dressed up and went away and I told the people I might be back in three days and of course ever since then they didn't hear anything of me and I guess if they do hear and I can communicate they will give it over and all perhaps they will charge is the storage.
Q. Why did you tell them you were going to be gone three days?
