Mr. Corey is here gathering data which, it is said, will be useful in his defense. Through his father he induced J. B. Corey, his uncle, to withdraw his offer to make public a batch of letters written by Andrew Carnegie and others, and two myster ious strangers from New York, said to be in his employ, have been busy gathering information concerning cer tain influential men who were mixed JP in Cassie Chadwick's financial af fairs but avoided exposure.

There were other entertainers less timid, however, and Mr. Corey, if forced to do so to save his job, is said to be prepared to give the details of that night."

He held a second interview in which Root and Cravath were pres ent He said that ho wanted two trus tees Independent of Ryan, becauso he thought that any trustees named as Ryan named them would bo to a cer tain extent under his control.

Mr. Hearst's attorneys cited-an opinion delivered by Mr. Parker while he was on the bench, In which he held that the court could compel a recanvass of the ballots the very point now urged by Mr. Hearst's at torneys. The attorneys for Mr. Hearst bitterly criticised Mr. Parker for appearing in court in an effort to destroy his own judicial opinion.
