NEW YORK, June 18.—After the sensa- tional charges of blackmail made by Law- yer Richard W. Morrison of Chicago inter- est was at a white heat today in the suit of David ,Belasco against N. K. Fairbank, training Mrs. Leslie Car r~for the stage. Morris'ch. so! took Morrison in hand. in May? A. -—-I did. admission? A. —I did not. Q.—-How did she know you were interest ed in that case? A. —I do‘fi’t know. You age 910.139 acquainted With the gossip about theaters. “And, you are more familiar with the gossip of thieves and convicts, ” rotor-ted counsel. ' , Nathaniel K. Fairbank was then called. “How did you become acquainted with Mrs. Carter?” asked Mr. Deming. “Through her divorce suit,” replied Mr. Fall-bank. ”Mr. Worth Dexter, a friend of mine, and Mrs. Carter’s counsel asked me to go to see her at the Southern hotel, Chicago, in 1888, and Mr. Dexter intro- duced us.” ~ ' The witness said he had called later on Mrs. Carter at the Hotel Richelieu, and he identified cards that he left‘ there. “When did you meet Mr. Belasco?” ask- ed Mr. Deming. "In June, 1890, at the Brunswick hotel, New York,” replied the witness. “He in- troduced himself to me and told me he Wanted to speak to me about Mrs. Carter. “I arranged for a meeting at Mr. E. K. Willard’s office in the morning. .We moi there, and he spoke of the fact that he had been training Mrs. Carter and declared that she had not enough money to go of]. He understood that I was to pay for the enterprise. “I said I had agreed to put her on the stage by arranging to guarantee E. G. Gilmore against loss up to $10,000 if he would take charge of the affair. She did not get on with Mr. Gilmore. “I told Belasco that I had already ad- vanced $2,000, and that Mrs. Carter had requested me to give her the remaining $8, 000 and to allow her to handle it her- self. I said I had been foolish enough to let her have the $8, 000. “Subsequently I- arranged to give be: 87,000 more when she made her arrange- ment with Mr. Price. Again I loaned Mr. Belasco $10,000, whichihe promised ‘sacredly and on his honor’ to see that] was repaid out of the receipts. I had paid at the moment of raising the curtain 83,- 000, which they promised Mr. Willard should be repaid out of the receipts, and ] had paid $4, 900 after they had. closed thell engagement in New York, which was a failure, to get them out of town because 1 was threatened with legal proceedings, and I thought it was cheaper to pay $5,- 000 than to defend lawsuits. I then said I would pay no money to get them to Chi- 0330. “I told Belasco that I wanted no more ‘playacting.’ He then threatened me with the newspapers. ” General Johnson Heard From.
