The affiant says that after some time the telephone rang and Mrs.
Kenyon answered it and it was for the man and he called up and said,
"Is that you, Charley?"
The affiant says she does not know what was said back but that the man
then said, "Yes, she is here," and he told this man over the phone,
"Yes, it is all right, Charlie, she is here," and added that he would
be back soon.
He then said over the telephone, "Yes, I will just come right away,"
and that after that he put on his clothes and left, but that Agnes
Barrett and Mrs. Kenyon remained in the room.
The affiant further says that before the man went out Agnes Barrett
asked him when he would give her the money and he said, "Well, sure, we
are to come tomorrow night," and added that he would bring the money
then and then left. The affiant says that she then asked Agnes Barrett
for her clothes. These, she says, were given her after a time.
The affiant then says Miss Barrett told her to come down the next night
at five o'clock and offered her a silk dress if she would do as she
bid, and that she then took the silk dress out of the wardrobe and
showed it to her, but affiant refused it.
That she then said that if affiant would come down tomorrow she would
get it fixed for this affiant and that she would have things ready for
this affiant to go down to the Springs. She further told this affiant
that she, this affiant, was to go to French Lick Springs and was to
stay there about a week.

not to dress in the morning, but put on a kimono and to dress in the
evening, that she was to remain in her room in the afternoon.
This affiant says that Mrs. Kenyon then asked Agnes Barrett, alias
Madame Barette, what about the "last one," to which she replied, "Well,
they have tired of her; they had her long enough." She then told this
affiant that she was to do whatever she would want her to for six
months and that this affiant was to come down there the next day to
sign a paper.
She told this affiant that she was to be down there about three
months, and that she then was going to send this affiant some place
else, but she did not say where, but said that this affiant could sell
lace for her after that.

that the said Agnes Barrett, alias Madame Barette, promised to give her
back all the things she took from this affiant if affiant would come
down there the next day at five o'clock.

of her things she would go to a detective.
