"Then how did you meet him and when?"
"That night in a saloon on the corner of Sixth Avenue and Twenty-Fourth Street; we got to drinking together there."
"And where did he get this money?"
The witness seemed inclined to answer more freely now, and replied that it was suggested that they go and play the bank, but neither of them had any money, and then his companion said he knew where he thought he could get some and went off saying he would be back before long.
"What time was that?" the Inspector interrupted.
The witness thought "it was some time after one o'clock," and continuing said, "the man was gone about half an hour and then returned with the fifty dollars and we went to Smith's place and lost it."
"And what did you do next?" he was asked.
"We had no more money and so we left. We parted outside and I did not see him again."
"And so," said the Inspector, "you don't know him? Do you think you would know him if you saw him again?"
"I do not know."
