"Were you and he involved together in some riots that took place at the Purroy Works?" "I wouldn't call them riots." "The newspapers called them riots, didn't they?" "Some newspapers."

"Did you and Scanlan and others arm yourselves and make it your business to keep applicants for work away by force?" "Yes, we did that." "And sometimes you found it fiec- essary to beat and maltreat men who were too persistent in seeking work?" "There was very little beating that 1 know of. I suppose we handled the fellows a bit rough sometimes." "Your methods were effective until the militia put a stop to them?" « "Now this intimaey of vours with Scanlan--you were an old friend, not only of his, but also of his family? You knew them all well---had known them for years?" "Yes, I've known them pretty well ; quite a while," "If it were possible for you in any way to assist Scanlan out of a scrape, you would try to do it?" "I'd try to do that for any one."

Probably she would have prepared much of the dinner in ad- vance had it been practicable, Per- haps she had no ice to keep fresh meat and other highly perishable foods. © With ice, half the dinner may be started or made ready the day be- fore.
