in -hdw bis hnnd and ?plain tho mean?
ing of his remark??.
Mr. Richardson Silent.
During thn rrc'ss for supper, a reporter
for The Tlmes-Olspateh attempted to In
terx-lew Mr. Richardson, "but be refused
emphatically to jrny one word "concerning
tfie matter. He rrgnreied it as on official
Sfinir, snd nd one for the newspapers
at present. The ntlorney would not so
much as Indicati? the nature of the com?
bino or tho materials In which It deals or
whether It hns recently had any dealing
with the city.
tt Is not improbable that thn Aidermanlc
??Committee of Five" will toko up the
hint let drop by Mr. Richardson, and It
may be that another combino will be
Unearthed.
Bailing the one unexpf-ctcd nnd sensa?
tional remark of Mr. Richardson, the trial
??-as devoid of feature. It was, however,
remarkable for tho spec?! with which it
was handled, evidence, argument. Instruc?
tions and verdict bnlng reached within ?
fraction of twelve hours, not ovor eight
of which were devoted to the trial It?
?elf.
The ono really Interesting revelation
Of tho morning session was tlie slight and
only momentarily discrepancy In tho tes?
timony of the defendant King and hie
star witness and staunch friend, D. 0*SuI
llvnn. Tho latter had sworn positively
that on June 10th. tho date upon which
King mnde a deposit in tlio American
National Rank, he hnd loaned'the de?
fendant *610. On tho following Monday.
King called nt his place and gave bin*)
a note for tho full amount.
King, on the stand a few minutes Inter,
sold he borrowed tho $510 on tlie 10th of
June, and on tho following Monday called
-on O'SiiIllvan, paying blm $100 In co-ib
end giving a note for tho balance, rf.410,
Messrs. Carter nnd Meredith wero evi
den ti y alarmed by this statement, sot
. contradictory to the testimony of O'SullI
. van. Thoy engaged in nn earnest conver?
sation. King Inter corrected tills state?
ment.
The Jury Completori.
After a trial of two days, the Jury was
' completed at 10 o'clock, when J. B. Lom
? bert nnd I.. R. Robinson qualified from
the last veniee summoned. Tho Jury was
then constituted ns follows: Robert Jones,
John E. Hutcheson. Phil Hellstem, John
?F. Wren, Charles Newel], Charles Poln
dcxter, Vf. T. Fltsgorald, Earnest?Young
James A. Moore, John C. Freeman, J. B.
Lambert nnd L. R. Robinson.
These wero sworn in nnd the case was
on In onrnost. Commonwealth's Attorney
Richardson outlined what tlie Stato ex?
pected lo establish, while Mr. Carter
Stnted whnt tbe defense would prove.
Contractor Gude was the first witness
Cftllcd. He swffla substantially what ho
has heretofore repented a number of
' times on tlie witness stund, saying lie had
given John M. King tlie .?uni of $150 for
; his influence and voto In the Street Com
' mittee. This transaction occurred on or
?ear June 10(h.
Gasser and Welnbrtinn followed, relter
. ating what they havo before stated in
| connection with the celobruted nffolr.
Messrs. Meredith and Carier never missed
; an opportunity to attempt to disprove
I certain statements and tangle the wlt
! nesses. The voracity ot a number of the
: witnesses was''questioned by tho ntlor
) ney's.
Mr. D. O'Sullivan opened tho testimony
for tho defense, and tlio most Interesting
part of his say lias before been recorded.
ilo wan followed by King himself. Mr.
Richardson attempted to confuse Mr.
O'Sullivan about a $350 note given by
him to King, but ho denied ali knowl?
edges of such a paper, saying positively
ho hod had no dealing with the defend?
ant prior to a year before June 10th.
Later Mr. Richardson proved by Mr.
Hill, cashier of tho American Bank, that
King had discounted anoto for JS50 sbort
\ ly before Juno 101b, nnd the noto wns
, eif.T.crt by no one other than O'Sullivan.
?? 2:30 P. M. court took a recess for
* dinner, not reconvening until 4:15 o'clock.
COLONEL CUTSHAW TESTIFIES.
AVhen court wns called to order at 4:15
o'clock In the afternoon Colonel Cutshaw,
City Engineer, wns put nn the stand by
Mr. Carter. Not over twenty people, in?
cluding ofllclnls, wero in the room. Col?
onel Cutshaw testified that ho was pies
ent when bids for granite spall pavement
were rejected. Tho motion was made by
Mr. King, who regarded the proposals
as rattier lilsh.
Mr. Carter questioned the .witness re
Ifgardlng tho first charges ho heard of
Jj corruption. In r.?p]y lie said that Gas?
tier Informell bini that ho was tired of
paying money to "King and others." Tho
Colonel was emphatic lhat Gassar said
"King and others." At that time tho
contractor said ho owed King money for
? recent contract. Later, at an investi?
gation of the charge by the Street Com?
mittee, Gasscr refused to reiterate his
original statement, while Gude and AVeln
brunn denied thnt thero had been any
bribery. Mr, Richardson brought out
that nt a subsequent meeting of thn
..committee .?."ontriicts for granite spall
"pavement-wem-lt-t'at a prlco a trifle high?
er than the ligure oriRlnally objected to
by King.
Using a record of the minutes of the
committee meeting, when the charge of
corruption was first made public, as a
reminder, tlie Commonwealth's Attornev
attempted lo upset the first statement o"f
the City Engineer In regard to Gasser
- saying "King nnd others." Tbe minutes
In que-stlon do not show Colonel Cutshaw
to have? report?e! io thn Stroet Committee
that Gasser said "King and others."
Colonel Cutshaw wns excused and Mr.
Varney E. Myers, tbe merchant tailor,
railed. He testified that nn Juno 10th
King gave him a rheok fe-r ?75 for a suit
nf clothes and a p;itr of t-'?.nts. lho former
?amounting to ?60 and ?? latter being

Stop That Boy
The noxt, time yon spy a
jauntily dressed boy, stop him.
Ask and you will doubtless find

"Mothers' Friend" label in?
side it.
You reallj* can't mistake the

graces of cut that add so much
to a boy's appearance.
No wonder the "rising gen?
eration " steps out? with a man?
lier stride after having paid a
visit this woek to our Bojs'
Goods Department.
Prices are our little surprise.

Broken lots of 50c and 75c

undertaken, when Mr. Hill called Mr.
Richardson out for a. minute.
As a result, Mr. Hill was again put on
tlio stand. Ho hod been to tho bank dur?
ing the brief recess nnd satisfied himself
as to tlio ?;i50 note, ot which ho had tes?
tified. Sir. Hill swore positively that the
note was signed by D. O'Sullivan and
that King was the only endorser.
Mr. Hill wos excused and Mr. Richard?
son opened for tho Commonwealth. With
only a row preliminary remarks the at?
torney proceeded to argue tbo instruc?
tions. He laid particular stress upon that
clause of the instructions, saying that the
Jury should find tho accused guilty, If
they wero satisfied that King accepted
a promise from oithcr of tho three con?
tractors, oven though ho did not get a
cent of money, and despite that In ac?
cepting the promise he was artlng for the
best Interest ot the city.
Sir. Richardson said that ho was frank
to admit that ho believed King hnd ac?
complices In the Council, "and," he add?
ed, "King could tell who they were, If
lie dared."
Ho said it came with bad grace to
plead for King's acquittal because there
were others who had escaped detection.
STARTLING STATEMENT.
?3t? ? Commonwealth's Attorney con?
tinued by condemning the "paving pool
or combine," saying that he now KNOWS
Of a SIMILAR COMBINE, IN WHICH
ARE INTERESTED a former member of
the Street Committee and a present
COUNCILMAN.
Mr. Richardson then took the testi?
mony of each witness, piece by piece,
reviewing and arguing each point with
much force and ability.
Judge Rlcha'rdson spoke for an hour,
closing at 6:60 o'clock. His argument
was closely followed by all of tho Jurors,
holding their attention all of the time.
Sir. Meredith opened for the defense.
He. sopke for one hour and ten minutes.
During his Bpeech, which was brilliant
and eloquent, Mr. Meredith paid partic?
ular attention to tlie testimony of Glide,
Gasser nnd Wcinbrunn, whom h* char?
acterized ns falso swearPrs and self-con?
victed perjurers. He nrgu-id their evi?
dence loo unworthy on which to cowtct
o yellow dog.
The speaker showed, from his stand?
point how plausible and natural It was
for tlie threo contractors to accuse King
of corruption.
It was up to tho Jury, sold he, to de?
cide between tho statements of Gude.
At the conclusion of Mr. Meredith's or
RumCnts at 8:05 o'clock, Judgo Ingram
adjourned court for ono hour, and the
Jury was taken to Ford's Hotel for sup
?5?1?
Mr. Carter began his argument at 9:Co
o'clock, at first taking up that part of tho
Instructions relating to doubt as to the
guilt of the accused, in thn event it should
exist in the minds of the Jurors. Ho
argued that the conflict of testimony
waa ?sufficient to arouse ? reasonable
douht. I-'.ach of tho important witnesses,
thom-ht he, wero accomplices, nnd tholr
testimony should be regarded with cau?
tion. The whole course of business of
Gasser, Ondo and Welnbrun for years
had been a living lie that they might
nmlco money.
Mr. Carter finished his speech at M^.OS
o'clock, having dellverr?:! nn nrgur
abounding lh.eloquence and f??rce. Ho
played inre ability; nnd mnde un imp
?ion upon all of ?ils hearers.
CLOSING ARGUMENT.
Mr, Richardson arose immediately to
reply for tho Commonwealth, lin ad?
mit tVrl the seriousness of tha offense, but
Impressi'd the Jury that they were not
to hn blamed for doing their duty. lie
asked that tho Jurors be not deterred
from their duly ? h rough sympathy. He
snld an nfrnilttal In face ?G such evi?
dence? would amount tn ? guarantee to
