aon, "tell tho Jury whether, ln the paat
twelve months. that is, prlor to the find
Ing of thls Indlctment, the defendant, J.
M. Klng, accepted any money from ycu
to influence his vote."
MUST BE SPECIFIC.
Mr. Merodith objected on tbe ground
thut there was nothlng specltlc In the
question, whlle the defendant had ootno
lnto court prc-pared to dlsi ro.'e a cer
taln speclfied accusatlon, that he had en
tered lnto nn agreement to accept >;00.
Mr. Richardson sald ho proposed to es
tabliBh a certain pertlnent fact and would
offer additlonal testlmony along the oame
line for. the purpose. But thls faiW) to
smootli tho surfaca of the procecdings,
and both Mr. Carter ar.d Mr. Meiemth
uroso to strenuously objeot lo any auch
evidence. It was deemed wise tliat tho I
Jury rbtlro, and this was done.
For un hour the three attorneys dls
cussnd tho propoaltlon. Judgo Ingram |
paylng tho strlctest attentlon to the ar- j
gumonts. Mr. Carter and Mr. Meredith
used a dozeu or more law booka to clte i
reaaons why the testlmony should not
be udinllted, whlle Mr. Rlohardson used
nearly ns many In attemptlng to prove
that It wa3 admlsslble. FInally, Judge
Ingram sustalned the objext.on and the
jury wns brought bac4< to the room.
After Capt.nn Gasser had been on tho
stund for neaily two hours, both sldes
Rnnounccd that they were through wlth !
the wltnoss, wheretipon a Juryman arose
In the box to ask if Mr, Gas.er know,
of his own knowledge.-of Mr. Kin? ovor
havlng rcc-eived any money. The wlt
ness sald he dlcl not. other than on htar
say, and he was not permltted to tell
of ihla.
HE GAVE KING MONEY.
J. A. Guiiu was next called, He waa
by far the strongest and mosi Import
ant witness on tlie etand duilng the af?
ternoon. He told'his name and buslurss
nnd reiaied his acqualntanca wlth Mr.
Klng.
Mr. Gude told about tho pavlns con.
tructs and tbe doallngs of the three con
tractors, througli him, wlth King.
"Did you ever eJ^ tne d"feiidant any
money?" asked Mr. R-chardson.
"1 dtd."
"How much?"
"Four hundred and nfty dollara."
"When?" <
"On June 10th." ? , ?
Mr. (Judo explalned that about $7d of
tho monoy came from M>\ AVelnbi'un in
ihe form of a checlt, whlch he had
enshi'iil. Tho money wa-s ln cuneucy,
aml ho took il stralffht to tha ollice of
Mr Kiiig on East Cary Street, near
Nineteenth. He added that lie drew im
from the bank, as he n^ded some cash
Heni Mr, Rlohardson produced a cliectc
and asked Mr. Gude If hs had ever s-eon

Welnbrun and hlmsolf. all of whom were
in the pavlng busincss, pooled thelr in
terests and dlvlded tho work. Ho sald
certaln conlracts for street work had
been twice held up and Mr. Klng told
hlm unless $9C0 was forthoomlng no con
tracts wouid bo let. It was a big loss to
them, b-cause they had to feed thelr
stock at a dead oxpenso.
"Dld Gassor tote falr with hls ond of
the agreemont?" asked Mr. Mercdlth.
Mr. Rlchardson objocted, and the de
fcndlng attorney sald ho wlshed to show
Gasser's motlvo In brlnglng the chargo
agalnst hls client. judge lngram sus
tnined tho objection, and the questlon waa
nol answered.
"Did you ovor make oath that you had
novor In your llfo glven any money to
Klng?" quesUoned Mr. Mercdlth.
"1 did."
Mr. Riohardson had the wltness explaln
how it happened that he made a differ?
ent oath- Mr. Gude sald he dld tt upon
tho advlce of a former attorney of Klng.
who told hlm that he was Just as deeply
lnvolved as was tho defendant.
WEINBRUN DID NOT KNOW.
Mr. Gude was excused and Mr. Weln
biun callod. He testiiled to such facts
as were establlsheu by the two precedlng
wltnesses, referrtng to "tho nrrangement
hetween tho three contractors. He know
of no Instnnce ot hls own knowledgo
where the defendnnt had been glven any
money. and was not permltted?to tell of
certaln agreoments bctween hlmself and
Gude and Gasser.
A chock for $71.35 was introduced by
Mr. Rlchardson. Thls was Identltled by
Mr. Welnbrun as tho paper he had glven
Mr. Gude on the 10th of June, bul ho
was not allowed to tell for whnt pur
pcse, although Mr. Rlchardson trled to
brtng this fact out.
A member of the Jury wanted to know
of the wltness whether he knew person
ally of Klng ever having roceivod any
money. but the wltness dld not answer
dlreetly, as ho knew only of such on
hearsay testlmony.
IDENTIFIED THE SLIP.
Next. Mr. 0. B. HIU. cashler of the
Amerlcan Bank, tho Instltutlon where
Klng kept hls account, was Introduced.
Ho positively Idontlftod a deposlt sllp,
doted June 10th, showlng that John M.
King deposlted In the bank 5450 ln bank
notes.
By the expreslon "bank notes" the wlt?
ness was not certaln whether the money
was all ln currency. He suld the term
usually covored bllls and gold and sllver.
U was now 7 o'clock, and Judge ln?

I sald to Mr. Donahue befor* ho was
