NEW PNK NGHTE "FORMS. STOKES ON SPA OAS (Continued From First Page.) Stokes never used but one pil- low. After Mra. Stokes had been served with the papers in the present case in mid-January, 1919, the witness told of an encounter she had had with her mistress. THREATENED BY MRS. STOKES, SHE SAYS. “I was going out of the house,” she said, “and Mrs, Stokes stopped me to ask where I was going. I told her I was just going to a store, but she accused me of starting out for Mr. Stokes’s office. I denied this and Mrs. Stokes put her hand close to my eye and said, ‘if you say anything about me or my character I'll follow you—follow you right into hell!’ I made no reply to this.” Q. Do you recollect the time Victor! Miller. Mrs, Stokes's step-brother, was in the house, and what hap- pened A. Yes. Mrs. Stokes called me in and said, “Anna, I'm in trouble with Mr. Stokes." I made no reply. ‘Teen she went on asking me: “Have you ever seen me in any position with a man?” My reply tof\er was, “I have nothing to say.” And then Mr. Miller, who was sitting on a xouch nearby, said to me, “Is it yes or no—are you going to defend us? 1 answered: “If there's any trouble Mrs. Stokes, | am going to tell the truth, “I'll not lie to you.” She said then, “Why, Anna, you talk as if you knew something, bother me,” and went out. On cross-examination, Anno Bren- nan stated that she was still in Mr. Stoke’ employ in his West 78th Street use, At one time, she said, she lived at No. 34 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, in the same place at which Juliette Gassner Georger, the nurse, who has been testifying in the case two days, lived, and that Mr. Stokes was then paying her wages and hoard. talked with Mr. Stokes on Jan, 16, 1920, and shortly thereafter went to Mr, Gleason's office (Mr Gleason is counsel for Mr. Stokes) Q. Before you signed the statement lidn't Mr son say that your voard and wages would be paid until this case should come up? A, He Mr. Gleason arranged for the board- ng place, the witness said, for her nd Mrs. Greveger, Q. He wanted you two to be to- je a statement. which she sub-| gether and said so, didn’t he? A. Yes, sir. The witness then described in de- tail the manner in which board and wages were paid to her and Juliette, the latter by checks, $12.50 weekly each, The checks were called for at Mr. Gleason's office either by the witness or the nurse. DID NOT WORK HARD FOR HER WAGE. Anna Brennan's wage was $60 a month after June, 1920, having re- ceived $40 before that. Her services were taking care of Stokes's clothes, pressing and mending them. Mr. Littleton, seeking the details, learned that the witness had pressed two suits of clothes for her employer, one in March, another in July. She didn’t know what other pressing he had had done in the long interval. Q. What were you pald for? Tell the Court what you did to get the board and wage checks? A. I can’t explain any more’ than I've already done, I understood that in cases like this people were paid, so I wasn’t sur- prised when I got my checks. I unde: stood I was to be paid until the case ended. But Mr. Stokes and I never talked about money. I felt I'd rather do something for the money, so I took up the mending and pressing, Q. You didn't want to euchre Mr. Stokes out of anything, did you? A.I wanted to do something for the wages I received. But under subsequent questioning the witness testified that she received wages and board money from Mr. Stokes during several months in which she rendered no service to Mrs. Stokes. At one time she was employed chambermaid in Lexington Avenue, receiving $45 a month and board from her employer, as well as the usual pay- ments from Stokes. Q. Did Mr. Stokes send you his trousers to press to all the places in which you worked? A. No; I did no work for Mr. Stokes from September, 1919, to June 30, 1920. On the latter date I went to work for him in the 8th Street house. He sent for me by telegraph and gave me $60 a month. talked to Mr. e? A, Never. The witness said that, in all, she had made and signed five statements con cerning the case. Mr. Stokes was Present, she admitted, on one or two of these occasions, but had not ques- tioned her in any way. For a little while Mr. Littleton took the witness back to the episode of the pink nightie. Anna testified it was a andsome garment, but not half so beautiful as some others’ belonging | to, Mrs. Sto . “Oh, she had lovely nightgowns!” the witness exclaimed and all the women in the envious. “TALL DARK MAN” APPEARS ON THE SCENE. | Mr. Littleton questioned the wit-| s closely about the “tall dark | who, 80 she said, she had seen | }#oing through Mrs. Stokes's room j with Mrs. Stokes at 3 o'clock in the | | morning, | Q.
