He did not stay here over night.

He would play a game of billiards, talk a little, and then go away. He got the bulk of his mail direct from tho post office. Only registered or special delivery letters came here and I signed for them. He always acted squarely toward me and said right what he was doing. He paid all my bills promptly.

"I saw him give back $100 to a man that had put up money on a certain horse which was to have run in the Nashville races hut for some reason did not run.

From the evidence presented in court it appears that Garrison, while sleigh rid'ng at Whitestone, met Tillte Familton, 111 years old, and Edith McCall, 17 years old, and Invited them to take a ride with him. The girls accepted the invitation and rode about the country until 6 o'clock in the when they had dinner at a Jamaica hotel at the expense of Mr.

Garrison. The. trio reached Flushing snortly after 111 o'clock in the evening, and the girls, fearing to go to their homes at Whiteslono, drove to the home of a friend, Mrs. Robert Erskine, on Bradford avenue, Flushing. Mrs.

Erskine was not home, so Mr. Garrison volunteered to get the girls a room at the Flushing Hotel, on Broadway. The girls say they secured the room at the hotel, and Mr. Garrison gave them money to return homo yesterday morning. Magistrate Smith examined the girls in his private office, in the presence of their parents, and later, when Garrison was arraigned in court, he said: "Your conduct in this case was very indiscreet, but there is no criminal charge, so you are discharged." The case has attracted much interest on account of the prominence of the principal parties.

Mr. Garrison Is married and ho and his wife are prominent in social circles. The McCnll girl is a daughter of William McCall, a respectable resident of Whitestone. Tillie Familton is a daughter ot William Familton of Eleventh avenue, Whltostone. Made at th largest and cleanest bakery in the citv.
