either in tho open market or as an asset
of the insolvent company.
Mr. Krum argued that it was competent
to show that Stock, as ono of the majority
stockholders in the St. Louis Electrical Con
struction Company, was llaWa to Mcysen-
burg as a minority stockholder, and that
, Meysenburg believed he hod a right to sell
to Stock as a member of the Klnloch syn
dicate wishing to relieve himself of his lia
l tlllty.
I Mr. Folk replied that Meyscnburtr had no
claim against tho representatives of tho
Suburban Railway, but against Stock, a
third party, and even if ho had, the method
he tock to collect It constituted bribery.
Even If tho claim was a private and valid
one. it had no concern with the caso on
trial.
Judge Douglas-said he wpuld hear evi
dence as to the marketable value of the
stock, and as to whether Stock was acting
as tho representative of tho Suburban Rail
way. Attorney Krum, resuming- his statement,
said the defense would show that when tho
assets of tho company were turned over to
Mejsenburg as security- for money ad
vanced, Messrs, Hanford. Kobusch and Sut
ter, directors of the company, gave hlra
their notes for $10,000. secured by shares
representing $30,000 worth of stock of tho
when the company was found In
solvent. Charles B. Stark, as a represet
ative of the minority stockholders, ex
amined tho books and discovered that tho
Klnloch syndicate. In which Stock and Tur
ner were directors, as they also were of
the construction company, had so juggled
tho latter company's affairs that all Its
assets had been turned over to the Klnloch.
syndicate. Charles Stark Informed Stock
that he would proceed against the syndicate
to recover the valuo of his shares, and tho
syndicate had therupon paid Stark dollar
for dollar. Henry Gaus, another minority
stockholder, also brought suit to recover
his money, and the suit Is now pending.
Meysunburg also had sought legal advice
on th question of proceeding to recover the
money he ad-anced.
Thus, Mr. Krum s,ald, when Stock ap
proached Meysenburg ln 1M1 with a propo
sition to buy his shares of stock. Meysen
burg assumed B9 he had a right, that
Stock wished to relieve himself of hi3 liabili
ty to Meysenburg as a minority stock
holder, and ho had a perfect right to sell
the stock. When Stock gave him the check
for $9,000 Meysenburg had his own book
keeper figure up the exact amount due hlra.
as principal and interest, on the' shares,
which amounted to SS,97i
The difference between this and the
amount of Stock's check Mcyscnburff paid
over to Stock at once, and deposited the
check In tho Boatmen's Bank to his own
personal account.

opposed sunuimAX hill.
Mr. Krum said that Meysenburg's whole
attitude toward the bill was consistent. Ha
had opposed It from the beginning, and hta
vote is recorded against It en Its final
passage. If there were arrangements mada
to pass the bill, they were made long before
the transaction between Meysenburg and
Stock. It was not necessary to secure his
vote at that time the necessary votes had
already been provided for and secured,
months before.
In conolusion, Mr Krum called attention

to the ions business career of Meysenburg"
and enumerated tho many responsible po
sitions held by him ln tho last twenty-five
years.
Before calling- any witnesses Circuit At
torney Folk offered ln evidence certain sec
tions of tho articles In the statutes cre
ating tho Council and enumerating- the pro
visions for members) taking the cath.'tho
manner of recording- the proceedings, etc.
These were admitted without objection. Mr.
Lehmann said the defense would admit that
Meysenburg was a member of the Council
during tho entire period referred to in the
irdlctmcnt. and later on, to expedite mat
ters, he also admitted that the defendant
was a member of tho Railroad Committee
for the same period.
This admission precluded the necessity of
examining Adolph Troll, clerk In the office
of the clerk of tho Circuit Court, who ad
ministered the oath to Meysenburg when
he was sworn into office.
George F. Mockler, sscretary of the City
Council, was the first State's witness ex
amined. Tho purpose of his examination
was to show by the Journal of the Council
the progress of the Suburban Railway bill,
known as Council bill No. 44, from its in
troduction on October 9. 1S00, by Mr. Car
roll, by request, up to February S, 1301, tho
date of Its final passage.
The witness began reading- from the Jour
nal, showing that action had been delayed
on the bill through thirty-two sessions.
Mr. Lehmann objected to the State show
ing what was not done by the Council. Ho
also objected on the ground that Mey
senburg was only one member of the Rail
road Committee, could not control the com.
mltteo'H actions, and could not be held
responsible for any commission or emis
sion of tho committee.
"If this bill was held-up ln the commit
tee, it was not his fault." he said. "Tho
other two members could have reported it
at any time. There seems to be a disposi
tion here to censuro somebody for delaying
the bill and not rushing It through. I
thought It was publlo policy not to rush
through a bill givng away valuable privi
leges, and that Counollmen should be com
mended for pursuing thli policy. The peo
ple should be thankful that bill wasn't
rushed through.
Judge Douglas overruled the objection,
and counsel filed an exception. When Mr.
Folk attempted to explain the reason for
certain questions he desired to ask the
witness Mr. Lehmann Interrupted him In a
way that piqued the Circuit Attorney, and
a spirited tilt ensued. Mr. Folk appealed
to the Court to compel Mr. Lehmann to
cease interrupting him. and Judge Douglas
was constrained to rebuke Mr. Lehmann.
Mr. Lehmann then locked horns with the
Court In an endeavor to convince his Hon
or that he was entitled to Interrupt the
Circuit Attorney on a point of order. The
Judge patiently heard him. and then ob
served again that he thought it better for
attorneys to speak to the Court one at a
tlifle.
He decided against Mr. Lehmann's point
of order and Mr. Lehmann sat down after
assuring his Honor that he had had no
intention of laying himself open to rebuke.
Tho witness was excused, nnd the Circuit
Attorney then offerend in evidence Coun
cil bill No. 44.
PHILIP STOCK FIRST
WITNESS FOR STATE.
Philip Stock, secretary of the St. Louis
Brewing Association, who was one of the
most Important witnesses in tho bribery
investigation, was called. After he had
stntM his name and business, he was
asked:
"What connection did you have with the
Suburban railway bill?"
Mr. Lehmann immediately interposed an
objection on the ground that the question
was incompetent.
The question and objection precipitated a
lengthy argument. Interspersed with aide
remarks of a sarcastic nature between the
Circuit Attorney and Messrs. Lehmann and
Krum.
Mr. Lehmann contended that any connec
tion the witness might have had with the
bill or with the Suburban people could not
connect the defendant with the transaction.
The Indictment averred that the defendant
had made a corrupt agreement with the
witness, and the State had as yet not prov
en that agreement, but was trying to In
troduce evidence to substantiate the aver
ment that such an agreement existed.
The connection of Stock with the Subur
ban people was a transaction between a
second and third party, and "it was not
shown that the defendant knew of that
transaction. Such testimony, ha argued,
was clearly Incompetent, and he quoted
numerous decisions ln support ot his con
tention. Mr. Folk replied that the tarHmony waa

later on that Meysenburg knew of the
transaction between Stock and the Subur
ban people, and that when Stock made the
agreement with him to vote for the bill
Meysenburg knew that Stock was the Sub
urban's representative. He quoted decisions
In support of this neir.
Mr. Krum said tho State must first prove
the agreement between Meysenburg and
Stock before It could Introduce any evidence
to substantiate that allegation. The State
tad not as yet established the corpus delicti
tho mala Issue of tho Indictment- It could
xot. before this was established, introduco
any evidence tending to substantiate the
main issue, but which, standing alone,
would not establish it.
The point was argued at considerable
length, and at the conclusion of the argu
ments Judge Douglas announced that he
would look up tho authorities quoted and
render a decision this morning-.
After the adjournment of court a confer,
ence was held between the counsel and
Judge Douglas to determine whether to dis
miss the Jury or to keep It In confinement.
It was decided to allow the Jurors to go
home, and they were dismissed after being

The War Department at present has grant
