"I came from New lork to Omaha
October 1, 19i:."'.Mrs. Brandcls testified,
"and my husband nndl went to our
apartments ou tho eighth floor of the
Brandeis Theater building, where we
lived until October 6. Then we went o
tho home of my sister-in-law on Thirty
eighth street and we spent every even
ing together until October S, wlin I
went to New York, with tho exception
of October 17 and 19, when my husband
was In Chicago. I remember distinctly
that ho was with mo every night."
Mrs. Brandeis testimony was unshaken
during cross-examination.
Testimony of Sinter.
Mrs. Cohn, sister of Mr. Brandeis ant
widow of Herman Cohn, testified that
she spent every evening with Mr. Bran
dcls from October 22 to election day, 1912,
corroborating his testimony that he had
not leftNher alone nights becauso she was
In a nervous state as the result of thi
murder of her husband.
"On election day," Mrs. Cohn con
tinued, "my brother, who was then liv
ing at my home, said he would return
i home late that night because he would
wait to learn the result of tho election
I begged him tn remain that night at his
downtown apartments because I feared
to allow him to como homo late at night
My husband was murdered almost at
our own gate at midnight as he was re
turning homo with our eldest son. He
consented."
Dntr Impendi Itlalry.
Miss Mao McNamara, Mr. Brandcls
secretary, gave evldenco corroborating
his tcstlmnoy that tho letter from the
Nebraska Humane society, tho delivery
of which Is admitted by both sides to
lmvo been the occasion oil which M.
Brandeis first saw Rlsley, was not
brought to him by Adolph Brandos, ac
companied by Rlsley, until September
.10. She fixed this date by tho tacts that
she had Just returned from her vacation;
that similar circular letters sent out ny
the society bore tho samo date, and that,
tho stub of a check book showed that
she sent Mr. Brandeis check In response
to tho letter shortly afterward.
The dates Impeach tho Rlsley boy's
veracity as he sworo that tho episode
of the letter 'occurred early In September
and that ho met Mr. Brandeis frequently
during tho samo month.
