When the case was resumed in the afternoon, Mr. Hyde, _joint-manager of the Del Monte Cafe was called. He stated that defendant was, as far as witness recollected, in the cafe at about 1 a.m. on Monday morning. There was no trouble about a car, At 4 a.m. some one, whose identity witness could not swear to, but who was wearing a white suit, called him up. This man said: "I am not the man who beat up the chauf-four."" The man had light hair and a sallow complexion. Witness said: "I have nothing to do with automobiles."' Witness did not see Mr. Hansen at the cafe at all on the morning referred to.
Mr. Schoenfeld—Yet Mr. Hansen has stated that he was there at that time, while you say he was not.
Inspector Prosser said he believed the man who came back in the white suit was one of the party.
A Chinese representative of the Western Garage, said that on Monday night defendant came to his ud asked him if he could some assistance in settling the business. He said he would pay all expenses. Witness went to the court but was unable to get the affair cancelled, the chauffeur having already filed a charge.
Defendant, recalled, stated that a Chinese came to his rooms and said he wanted cumshaw. He chased the man out of the room and afterwards the U. S. Marshal paid him a visit. Defendant then went to the garage and said to the chauf-four, Suppose I fix vou up, you can withdraw case.'" The man wanted proofs, so the letter was accordingly written to the garage.
