When entering the city proper 1 Case again asked for" his money and Casey told . him to- drive up to Me ' Do>»ough's saloon at 17 Eddy street, where he would get some money on a diamond horseshos stickpin. When they reached the sidewalk Casey, again expressed his Intention to pay Case , and then flared *up and- said he'd be <j <j if he -would pay him.
