Q. That was the first time?
A. The first time, yes, sir.
Q. When was that?

Q. When was that?
A. That was the same night or the evening that Mr. McKinley died.
Q. How long did you feel that way about it?

A. I don't know where that is.
Q. Well, that is a publication--Mr. Abbott's weekly publication in New York.
A. I don't know where it is. I could not even find it. I know quite some streets in town, in the neighborhood. I have never been interested in that. I didn't know that Roosevelt had anything to do with the Outlook at all.

Q. He went to his office to the Outlook office?
A. I have never been looking for him then, sir.
Q. You weren't looking for him then?
A. No, sir; I wouldn't know where to find his office.

A. The same papers.
Q. New York Herald and the World?
