e and tells the Doctor he would like to
employ him to attend to his men during the ice season. You remember
what the contract was. They talked about it and figured on the
price, which was finally agreed as $50 for the ice season, or seven
months. The Doctor asked O'Sullivan if he had had any accidents and
O'Sullivan said no, but he didn't know what might occur--that the
horses might run off and hurt somebody. Mahoney testified to this.
Here is a significant fact. It was on the 19th of April that this
contract was made. Now remember that on that day Patrick O'Sullivan
handed the Doctor some cards, saying, 'I may be out of town and my
card will be presented to you.' This is significant when we get to
another branch of this evidence. Now, he reports again to the
chairman of the committee that 'the contract is made; Cronin is
thrown off his guard; Mahoney went with me.' Now, to show you that
he was watching what he was doing, Frank Murray tells us that on
the morning of the 5th of May O'Sullivan told him that he happened
to be down town and met Mahoney, and that he wanted Mahoney to go
with him to make this contract. It was an accidental meeting, he
said. The committee had had a chance to meet and consult again in
the meantime. The furniture was bought; it was moved into the
cottage; the contract with the Doctor was made; they had it all
arranged, and when Spelman comes to the city on the 29th of April
the senior guardian says, 'It is all amicably settled.'"

ALL ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETED.

"But something else must be done. On the 20th of April, the day
after the contract was made, Frank Williams appears again on the
scene. Mrs. Johanna Carlson testified that he came there and paid
the rent, and then she and her son requested permission to enter
the cottage and get a lounge and an old trunk left there by the
former occupant of the premises. Charles Carlson went into the
cottage with Martin Burke. He saw the carpet on the floor and the
bed with its pillows. He didn't notice everything particularly, of
course, but Williams showed him around and helped him out with the
lounge and trunk. He paid the rent again and Mrs. Carlson wanted to
know why they didn't move in. He said his sister was sick in the
hospital and that as soon as she got well they would move
