The story she told, unless broken down on some side by the defense, will mean a prison term for Clark At all times, l,hc testimony was of nn in? tensely intimate character and some? times oven revolting. Although the ease has already been recited once, and Clark found guilty, the hearing yester? day innused widespread interest In Ihe county, but ihoro were no fcpe-cta tors except court officials and witness? es. A striking feature of the testi? mony yesterday was the exhibit of numerous letters, all having a very strong hearing on the case, which wo.ro read for the information ,,( the Jury, i The case of ihe prosecution rests practically upon a single letter, In which Clark promises ihe desperate girl to marry her, and which the de? fense is endeavoring manfully to prove a forgery.

I His testimony was corroborated III large part by Burroughs, who like? wise denied the bribery charges, and: testified to the honest operation oi thb.l distill* ry. John M. Hheu, manager of the rectifying plant, and collector of accounts for the distillery, testified the distillery was legafTv_ operated, and that none of the Irregularities charg j i d took place. ! The prosecution attacked Bhru's statements, ami attempted t>. show that he was in efltct manager of th>. entire plant, and in that capacity re? sponsible for everything that occurred there. According to .Una's story, he tool; his orders from Klmore, who was tlo manager. Attorney George A. Hanson, for the defense, sought to offset the rv fleet Ion. on lite character of his witness by introducing a number of men well j known in the city and county, all ol I whom testified to Rhca's good repu itntion.

Under direct examination by Assist? ant District Attorney Hoheit I r. Tal ley, ! Elmore testilied that he was ordered! by Wood, owner of the distillery, to i destroy all tickets accompanying grain j deliveries. His orders on this point, he said, were positive, and he de- | stroyed all grain hills by touring them ' in half. Questioned about the exist- j encc of a cash hook described by Wood j when he was on the stand Wcdncs j day, Klmore stated that no BUCh book,I iih far as he knew, ever existed, and declared furthermore that be had or-| dors from Wood not to keep any hooks during the months of November and | December. The notebook, already <n | [evidence, he said, was the only record] outside of tho one required by the I government that he kept during the, two months.

Attorney Hanson Pried to force an admission from the witness that he entered the correct weight of all grain brought to the plant In tho dally record that he kept for the govern? ment, but Elmore stated that he re? corded only the grain weighed by Bur? roughs.

MERCHANTS WIN PAVING FIGHT Broad Street Is to Have Smooth Surface in Business Section. GRANITE LOBBY IS CHARGED Cohen Says Quarry Owners Cir? culated Petition Among Team? sters Against Improvement. Smooth paving for Broad Street ?von over what was described as the "?rrnnlto quarry lobby" hi thu initial contest before B subcommittee of the Committee on streets yesterday afteri noon. Tito typo or .smooth paving was not determined upon, the recommen? dation being that the Committee "ii Streets advertise for bids for all kinds of smooth paving, thus eliminating from the contest Belgian block, cut granite, cobblestone and other types of granite spall paying. Voluminous petitions tor smooth pavinR wero presented by the Retail Merchants' Association, while equally extensive petitions for the use of granite came from wholesale mer? chants and the owners of teams en paged In heavy hauling. It being open? ly charscd that these latter were In? cited and gotten up in the Interests of the owners of certain local ?iiinr rles. Corley for Smooth Surfncr. .!. G. Corloy presented the formal action of the Retail .Merchants* Asso? ciation, the association, while not In? sisting on any particular material or patent preparation, expressing Itself as unalterably opposed to the laying of granite block of any charade:' on uny part of the street, such pavlng bcliiR characterized as not In keeping with up-to-date pleas, antiquated and obsolete. It was declared to be tl.e sense of the board of directors nf that association that reports Industriously circulated that Mnooth paving would prove dangerous to horses and vehi? cles, and that It would not stand heavy traffic, wer" largely exaggerated and without serious foundation. The association expressed Itself In the following resolutions: "Having learned that a proposition will be placed before tho City Coun? cil to repavo Broad Street with Bel? gian blocks, we, the merchants of Uroad Street, earnestly request the members of the city council to oppor thlF measure, as we feel confident the Reigiun block would prove unsatis? factory, and very little. If any. hotter thin the granite spalls now In use. "We believe the time han come when the city can-well afford to pave Broad Street, the principal thorough? fare of our city, with some smooth pavement. This kind of' pavement la j Sufficient to take care of any traffic on this street, and will lend ton?: to this our principal thoroughfare." I'nvc from Curb to C Urb. Mr. Corloy explained that Ihn aas? ciatlon wan also opposed to any un? sightly band or a different character of paving down the centre of the street, preferring that it be smooth paved from ,-nrb to curb. Samuel Cohan followed, openly eharg'ng that the granite quarry owners had been circulating petitions among teamsters and others, securing signatures from those who do not own property or do business on Ttroad Street. Tho Belgian block, stich as used on Main Street, he said, was Just as dirty. The charge that heavily loaded vehicles could not travel on smooth surface, he said, was far? fetched, naming R dozen congested slrcnta In Now York on which there Is very heavy traffic ovor smooth sur? face. Oranlte, he held, should only ho used In warehouse and wholesale districts, and In other xeottona of mod? ern cities was going out faater than the horse. Chnrgcx Ruarry Lobby. "I do not believe thore lit politics] enough In the City Council." paid Mr. Cohen, "to allow tho lobby of the. grah Its quarries to hoodwink, tho tax pay? ers. These outsiders, some of whom pay no taxes here, arc trying to dic? tate to us who do business on nroad Street every day, who own property or pay high rents, as to what we wont.

It would be simply throwing money away to put down any Kind o? alone paving, if that la what J'ou arc go? ing to do, you had better keep tho money or upend it .somewhere else." Mr. Thalhlnior asserted that Broad Street, with proper paving, and tho Improvements now going on, would bo made one Of the prettiest streets III this country, lie claimed that valu? able goods were being ruined by Uusfc In the stores :>t present, and that Ilia street should have a smooth, evan sur? face from side to side, without break. Mr. Kaufmann told of damage to slo'i; through dust, argued for a smoioln paving from curb to curb, and t'.ioti that It be kopt clean by modern meth? ods of street cleaning. Petition of Teamsters. W.
