ht, and paid them $40 for the top flat, which, as you will
remember, was in the neighborhood of Dr. Cronin's office, just
opposite the Chicago Opera House building. You will further
remember that Throckmorton testified that the man pulled the money
out of his pocket in a careless way and paid $40. I don't know
whether he understood why he wanted the front rooms at that time,
but he paid a month's rent and signed a lease. Mr. Marshall
corroborates that statement."

THE PURCHASE OF THE FURNITURE.

"On the same day this man, J. B. Simonds, appeared at Revell's
store. Now, it does not matter whether we have shown that he was a
member of Camp 20 or any thing about it. It does not matter whether
we know who he is, but it is part of the means used in this case,
and for that reason it was admitted in evidence. He said to

out the commonest furniture, stating that it was only for
temporary use. The next day he went back and paid for the furniture
and it was moved to 176 Clark street.

"Now, gentlemen, have you any doubt about that furniture going to
that number? None of you can have a doubt on that question. When he
went back to Revell's he said he wanted a larger sized strap; that
the strap he got was too small, too light, and Mr. Hatfield said he
would get him a larger strap, which he did and charged him 50 cents
for it. Mr. Allen, who moved the furniture, said he took a bed; a
