Feb. 26. Charles F. Mur phy, leader of Tammany Hall, did not give back the 125,000 campaign contri bution of the late Anthony N. Brady in 1913, as Murphy said he did, accord ing to the sworn testimony today of William Sulser, deposed governor of New York. . Sulaer. a witness today for the sec ond time at the John Doe inquiry into political graft, testified Murphy had told hiai he had turued the $25,000 over to the democratic state committee. He added that Murphy also said that he had "fixed it so that it would be re ported in the committee's list of cam paign contributions under the name of a dummy. This is the $25,000 which Sulzer says was first ottered to him and which he refused to accept. Brady Threatened Exposure. Murphy, in a recent public state ment, said that he had given the money back to Brady. He will probably be called in the near future to tell his story tinder oath. Sulser conceded today that Murphy had given $25,000 back to Brady, but that it was not the same $25,000. The $25,000 which was paid to Brady, ac cording to Sulser. was to compromise a suit for $40,000 which he said Brady had brought against Murphy. "Murphy sent J. Sergeant Cram to see Brady and get him to call off the suit," said Sulzer. "Brady was angry and wouldn't listen to Cram. He said Murpay had sworn falsely in his an-, swer to the suit and that he had bel ter come across with the money or he would press the suit and expose him." Murphy, on the advice of Samuel A. Beardsley, Brady's attorney, finally went to see Brady himself, Sulzer said, and Brady compromised for $26,000. Ryan's $10,000 Also Went to Murphy. "Brady made him a present of $15, 000." added the witness. "The sum mons and complaint in this suit, if they are not destroyed, would make interesting reading at this time." Sulser also testified concerning the $10,080 contribution which Allan A. Ryan, son of Thomas F. Ryan, the financier, asserted at the witness' im peachment trial he gave to Sulser and which was never reported in Sulzer's list of contributions. The witness said he gave it to John H. Delaney, now head of the state bureau of efficiency and economy, and that Delaney told him he had given it to Murphy. This was another contribution which he said Murphy told him would be listed un der the name of a dummy. He declared Don't Let "Acid Mouth" SV Your Teeth It's safest to be ever on guard against "acid mouth," for it is the greatest filcher and stealer of tooth-health known to dentistry. ."Acid-mouth" works silently but swiftly works incognito and un der a string of aliases but it's always working.

Telephones. also that Delaney had kept "for his own campaign expenses" $25,000 which he (Sulzer) had given to him "to heip out" tha democratic state committee, A Lot of Dummies. "You'll find a lot of dummies on that list put in by the democratic stale committee," continued the witness, "a lot of men who would't give $1,000 to save the democratic party fronx going to the demnition bowwows. He named among these; alleged , dummies Thomas F. McAvoy, Tammany leader of Harlem, and George W. Plunkett, another Tammany leader. McAvoy, called as the next witness, denied that he had ever "given one dollar to the democratic party . that wasn't my own money." "I gave from $2,500 to $3,000 every year," he said. Plunkett. who was also to have been called, failed to respond to his sub poena. 1 $2,500 from Steel Trust. Another witness was William J. Sullivan, secretary to James A. Far rell, president of the United States Steel corporation. He testified that at the request of Farrell he had in 1312 given "$2,500 in cash out of Farrells personal funds to Arthur A. McLean, treasurer of the--democratic state com mittee. He produced a receipt made out to himself and signed by McLean. "How did you happen to have the receipt made out in your name instead of Farreil'sT" the witness was asked. "It was my own idea," said Sullivan. "I knew that Mr. Farrell w;as the 6nly democrat in the steel organization and I thought he would preler not to have his name appear. He was quite exer cised over it and told me that there was no reason why it should not be in his name, but to let it go as it was im material." - Contribution Never Reported. The witness added that there was nothing significant in the fact that the contribution was made in cash, as ho 'was accustomed to pay large bills for his employer by cash instead of check. It was brought out that the contri bution was never reported by the democratic state committee. A sub poena was Issued for Sullivan by tha managers in charge of Sulzer's im peachment, but he was never called. WANTS ROCK ISLAND ROAD INVESTIGATED, Iowa Congressman Compares It With the New Haven.
