Did you know of any plot to rob the bank? was the question that Mr. Johnston directed to all of the witnesses.

They all denied knowledge of such a plot or of any evidence to indicate that the holdup had been arranged by either the bank officiais or the police. Cafe Owner Testifies.

That, notwithstanding his mother's attitude, Condict and Mrs. Kaplansky made an agreement by which the broker was to get rid of his wife and the woman of her husband. after which the two were to be married.
