--What family had he? A.--A wife and four children and an aged father. Q.--Who were with him? A.--His brother Jim and Mr. So-and-so. Q.--Have they been seen since? [No answer to this.] Q.--What was Mrs. Lomasney's condition before his going? A.--A most outrageous case of neglect. Flemming's mother died in the poorhouse. Q.--Did you ask for help? A.--Yes; in 1885 I went to New Haven. We had no directors. I called upon Dr. Wallace. He was D. Saw Mulvaney and Condon. The latter went with me to Carroll. He professed utter ignorance of the whole affair. I said: "By God, you must see her;" her, Mrs. L. He decided to. Mulvaney said: "Why don't you see Boland?" Found him on Fifth avenue. He denied all responsibility. He would have nothing to do with it. Finally he claimed she had received much money. I said she did not. He was non-committal. His acknowledgment made him responsible. Q.--Did you see Carroll at New York? A.--Yes. We met him at Vesey street. He left me to go into the _Herald_ building and brought me $100. I refused this. I told him I didn't come for money. I said: "You know how to send this, as you have the others; if you respect the memory of the dead and the widow and the orphan, made so by your act, do your duty by all." Q.--Until August, 1886, what was her condition? A.--Poverty-stricken; no coal, no clothing; nothing left her but misery and her pride. Our S. G. would not give the channel of communication. He read our resolutions; whether he ever forwarded them or not I did never know. He is dead. He told the committee of D. that the organization was not responsible. Mr. Rogers--You swear you called the attention of Boland and Carroll to her condition? A.--Yes; and not until somebody came to us with $1,025 did the poor woman have any adequate support. By Dr. Cronin--Did Lomasney attend the district convention held in Chicago in 1884? A.--No; he was not elected. Q.--Was any one elected from your D.? A.--No; we noticed it much. We could not account for our D. having no representation. Q.--Would Lomasney tell you if he had been selected a delegate by any one outside of D.? A.--Yes, and we would have been aware of his absence. Q.--Would he have gone there, if not elected a delegate? A.--No; he was
