Miss Gingles said she remained in Montreal two days, later going to Belleville, Ontario, where she worked as a cook. From there she went to Toronto. She visited a sister in Michigan, coming direct from there to Chicago about November 15, 1908. "What did you do here?" "I went to work as a chambermaid at the Wellington hotel. I stayed there a week." "What did you next do?" "I went there to meet some fine lady to sell laces to, and quit the work and sold them." "Where did you next work?" "At a Michigan avenue restaurant, but quit after four days." "When and how did you meet Agnes Barrett?" "I went to her store and showed her my lace." At the mention of her name Miss Barrett looked straight into the eyes of the girl she accused, and Miss Gingles returned the glances without coloring. "Miss Barrett gave me some roses to work on," resumed the witness. "She gave me $1 and then I made some berries and more roses." Miss Gingles said she continued to work for Miss Barrett, receiving $1 per day. Altogether she worked four days for Miss Barrett before Christmas. "Did Miss Barrett say in your presence and a maid that she missed things?" "She said she missed some powder and paint and some Limerick laces." Miss Gingles seemed confident, and began to smile as she testified. On January 4, she said, she returned home at seven o'clock, and found Miss Barrett and Mrs. Kenyon in her room. "Is Mrs. Kenyon living or dead?" "Dead." Attorney O'Donnell dropped this line of questioning and inquired further as to what occurred on that evening. She said Miss Barrett and Mrs. Kenyon took practically everything of value from her trunk, including prize lace designs, underwear, photographs, bracelets, strips of chiffon and a ring. "Was the ring valuable?" "It cost 15 cents in Ireland, but Miss Barrett said: 'It must be valuable or it wouldn't be in a costly box.' "Besides, they trampled my clothes in the dirt and greased what they left with candles." "What else did they take?" "A fancy pillow case I made on a ship." The most startling part of the girl's story was of the alleged attack upon her in the Wellington hotel, although her testimony was the story of her life practically from the time she came to America from Ireland. Miss Gingles, in her testimony, declared that it was she, and not Miss Barrett, that had been robbed, and she told a story of how her room at 474 La Salle avenue had been broken into and ransacked in her absence and many valuable pieces of lace taken. She declared that the robbery was made complete by Miss Barrett the same night in the Wellington hotel by taking all the money out of her purse and forcing her to walk back to her boarding house from downtown in the cold of a winter's night. She said that on this night she was forced to sign a confession, admitting the theft of lace for which the girl now is being tried.
