A. Mrs. Morello and the mother of Morello and the brothers of Morello. So they went there and began to explain that they had got into very serious trouble. They also said that the only way-- Q. Who? A. That he could be possibly saved would be to produce an alibi. I was to say that he was not out at any time he was accused of being out. I was to understand that he was the wrong man mentioned in court. They explained to my mother that the police knew that Dr. Romano had been their physician. It would be only natural that they call me; I could then testify that I was treating Morello at the time and he was unable to get out when, the charges alleged, Morello was around and doing things in the counterfeiting plant. They explained to my mother that there was no other man that could be called, because no other man would be trusted. The police knew I was Morello's physician, they said. And then my mother asked them not to call me, that it would be putting me into trouble, and that I would have to abandon the business I had started. They told her that it was an absolute necessity that I come down from Rochester and testify. If I did not come, they said, Morello would be sentenced surely. "Naturally," they said, "we think if the doctor would come down, Morello will be free." So my mother wrote to me. "This is the last proposition they are going to give you," she said. "I think you cannot avoid coming down." Q. She wrote and told you about it? Have you got that letter? A. No. Naturally I would not keep a letter of that kind. I thought the matter over. I knew the character of the men I had to deal with. I knew that if I refused and Morello got a big sentence they would put the whole thing up to me. I thought of my mother down here going out and in at night, and I had something to fear. Probably if it had been for myself only I would not have considered it; I would have looked at it differently. It seemed that I had no alternative in a case of this kind. They telegraphed me. Q. Who? A. The brothers Terranova. Q. What did they say? A. Be in New York to-morrow to appear in Court for the testimony of my brother. Q. When was that sent to you? When did you get the telegram? Was it a day or two before you came down? A. Yes, but I came down at once. The first time I came I remained here two days. Not being called, and not being able to leave my business for such a long period, I rushed back to Rochester. Q. When did you come down again? A. One week later at the time the detectives were testifying. Q. And you came down later? Did you go to your mother's house? A. Yes. Q. Whom did you see there? A. Terranova, Nick Terranova. Q. What did he say to you? A. "I am very sorry to trouble you. I know what you are losing. I know that you are doing this for us, but it is absolutely necessary. You are in no danger at all"--he was all the time in the house--"there will be no danger for you; you will be all right."
