Q. What headlines are still fresh in your recollection which you read? concerning political---- A. Oh, I could not just recall anything. Headlines doesn't amount to much. It is now and then perhaps, but it doesn't amount to much. It is just the item itself. Q. Was there anything you read in those papers that gave you any distinct impression to kill Roosevelt? A. No, sir; not at all. I cannot blame the papers whatsoever. I have done what I done on my own convictions. Q. Well, were you not impressed by what you read in the New York papers as to the menace which Mr. Roosevelt would be to our nation? A. No, sir; not by the papers, hardly. I thought my own opinion about that. Q. Do you remember reading anything in those papers in which Mr. Roosevelt was described either as a tyrant or as a traitor? A. Oh, no. Q. Or his ingratitude or words to that effect? A. No; there might have been a few criticisms that says I am It Or Me and I and that is about all, but that doesn't impress much on anybody. Q. When you say that---- You started to say before that you were much opposed to Mr. Roosevelt deserting the old party and building up a new party---- What old party did you have in mind? A. The Republican party. Q. Were you interested in the Republican party? A. No, sir; I was not interested. Q. Ever vote the Republican ticket? A. Yes, sir; I have several times. Q. On National elections? A. National elections. Q. Ever vote for Mr. Roosevelt? A. No. Q. Municipal elections were you---- A. A democrat. Q. Democrat for what particular reason? A. Well, as long as we were in the liquor business there in New York it was almost natural that we should vote the Tammany rule because every liquor dealer needs protection. Q. On account of what? A. Account Sunday law, because we was selling Sundays beer that we could not sell unless you belonged to that organization. You will have the police after you all the time. I suppose you know that as well---- Q. Did you ever contribute? A. Well, we had to contribute at times--yes, sir. There would be a different way to contribute. Q. Did you ever give money to the organization? A. No, not to the organization. Q. Or to the police? A. There is a different way of doing that. If you didn't do it willingly of course there would be a way. They will be around one of those nice Sundays and arrest you and naturally there will be two there and they will impress a charge against you in a manner that will get you out in case you paid them. I have been doing that several times, gave each one five dollar bill or ten dollar bill and they won't press the charge. Q. This money was to be used for what purpose? A. That I could not tell. Q. The men that came around on that mission were they police officers or politicians? A. Well, regular officers, specials, what takes these Sunday---- Sheriff Arnold: Mr. Zabel, did anybody here send for a man named Moss? Mr. Bloodgood: Yes. Send him in.
