Mr. Rogers--Had this not been a prior date? A. No.
Mr. Feeley--Was your charge denied by Maroney? A.--No, he said the money was furnished by the executive for work until he should earn enough to pay it back.
Mr. Feeley--When was Maroney's debt paid? A.--Some time in December.
Q.--Did Maroney do any work after that? A.--He acted as detective in Iowa. He went with Sullivan and Boland to St. Paul.
Dr. Cronin--Did the term report show any loss to Maroney? A.--I could not say; the time was from August, 1885, to August, 1886.
Examination of another witness, a member since the beginning of the old organization.
Q.--Did you know Capt. Lomasney? A.--Yes.
Q.--Do you know of his having left on a certain motive? A.--Yes, three or four times since his imprisonment as Mr. O'Sullivan in 1867.
Q.--Do you remember the last time he went? A.--Yes; in August, 1884.
Q.--What did he say to you on the subject of his work? A.--I was closer than a brother to him. Our families had constant intercourse. I offered him my hand the day he told me of his project; had little help. Wife saved a bed.
Q.--What family had he? A.--A wife and four children and an aged father.
Q.--Who were with him? A.--His brother Jim and Mr. So-and-so.
Q.--Have they been seen since? [No answer to this.]
Q.--What was Mrs. Lomasney's condition before his going? A.--A most outrageous case of neglect. Flemming's mother died in the poorhouse.
Q.--Did you ask for help? A.--Yes; in 1885 I went to New Haven. We had no directors. I called upon Dr. Wallace. He was D. Saw Mulvaney and Condon. The latter went with me to Carroll. He professed utter ignorance of the whole affair. I said: "By God, you must see her;" her, Mrs. L. He decided to. Mulvaney said: "Why don't you see Boland?" Found him on Fifth avenue. He denied all responsibility. He would have nothing to do with it. Finally he claimed she had received much money. I said she did not. He was non-committal. His acknowledgment made him responsible.
Q.--Did you see Carroll at New York? A.--Yes. We met him at Vesey street. He left me to go into the _Herald_ building and brought me $100. I refused this. I told him I didn't come for money. I said: "You know how to send this, as you have the others; if you respect the memory of the dead and the widow and the orphan, made so by your act, do your duty by all."
