rolls when he was going to pay
for anything. Simonds carried his money just as the trianglers
would carry it, who had been robbing the Irish cause for years, but
Martin Burke, who had been working in the ditches, thought if he
could save a dollar out of the $12 he would do it. But Mr. Carlson
refused to lower the rent and he paid the $12. Then he said his
sister was coming from the East to keep house for them. You can
have no doubt that the cottage was rented by a man named Frank
Williams. Mr. Carlson and his wife, and Charles Carlson and his
wife, who were present, said that he rented the cottage. Charles
wrote out the receipt and signed it for his father and gave it to
Frank Williams. Here are three persons who swore that Frank
Williams rented the cottage. And here is a significant incident for
you to remember. They started out with assumed names. Martin Burke
appears as Frank Williams. If he were renting the cottage for a
lawful purpose, if he wished it for no other purpose than to occupy
it in a legitimate way, to have his sister come and keep house for
him, there would be no occasion for his renting it under the name
of Frank Williams. That is conceded. So, then, he must have rented
this cottage for some other purpose. It was not because he wanted
to keep from paying the rent, because he paid it in advance. That
was not the cause; he did not want to lose his identity in order to
keep from paying the rent. It was for an unlawful purpose that he
went there to rent the cottage. The learned counsel on the other
side can not dispute that proposition. The old gentleman said
Williams went out after receiving the receipt and talked to
O'Sullivan. Now, O'Sullivan did not live a half a mile or
three-quarters of a mile away. You must not think that O'Sullivan
lived at one end of the town and Carlson at the other end. His
place is just across the lot from the Carlsons. The old gentleman
testified that Burke went out of the front gate and walked to where
O'Sullivan was standing at his barn and said, 'The cottage is
rented.' The old gentleman said he didn't understand what else was
said. You remember how hard it was for him to express himself in
the English language, and yet counsel undertook to impeach that old
man by proving what he said at the coroner's in
