the soul of honor, and despised trickery; he did not
care for office; never held any in his life except in danger.

Mr. Boland--Did you see him at Boston? A.--Walsh told me he had no
control. S. G. contended that the organization had no
responsibility. In 1885 John Maroney called; said he had been
especially sent. They had come for a little money; gave $10;
Lomasney had nothing. N. Y. D. S. raised and sent $150. More was
raised and suppressed. In 1887 the sheriff put Mrs. L. out on the
street. No home was ever bought for her.

Question by Mr. Dillon--Do you know that Mrs. L. is an economical
woman? A.--Yes. People began to talk of her and sent an
organization to me to say that she was extravagant; talked of her
husband's taking off, which prejudiced many, and her rent was
raised. She had been paying $30 a month; no general increase; the
landlord wanted her put out.

Mrs. Lomasney examined. [Upon Alexander Sullivan's request not
sworn.] Husband went away in August, 1884.

Q.--How much money have you received from the organization since?
A.--A thousand dollars altogether.

Q.--How much since? A.--In the summer of 1885 I visited Alexander
Sullivan. I went to inquire after my husband, as I was led to
believe he was in possession of certain funds; he did not know my
condition, nor did he relieve me. He did send for a ticket to
Detroit with which I returned home.

Q.--When again did you call upon Mr. Sullivan? A.--In August, 1886,
I made known my condition, and after advising me to sell my little
store, he asked me a schedule of my liabilities: $200; he would
attend to the matter. He gave me no money, nor offered me any. He
seemed anxious that I should not communicate with any one in the
city. He asked me if I was acquainted with any one. I told him of
James Q. Mr. S. said I should not mention his (Sullivan's) name to
any one, etc. Called on Q. He talked to me about Father Dorney. No
help.

Met Col. Richard Burke, and he, with some friends, assisted me, I
know that Mr. Sullivan was the one that had a right to attend to
this. Was afterward amazed that he did not. The dress I wore was a
borrowed one. John Hickey was S. G. Several weeks after I went to
Mr. Sullivan and asked him a loan of $100; this he sent me; nothing
since. I could
