af-lm* at th * time." The witness said
ihat ho Informed the Health Board
secretary "that was the best ho could
do" and that he assured Howard that
he would pay him any legitimate
commission to which he was en
titled, but that he would not con
sent to get the incinerator contract
by any "crookednese." Howard, Hook
said, told him that he and his father
had already spent 11500 in "getting
the thing 1 ned up."
Hook testified that he tried to
compromise with Howard by agree
ing to allow him commissions on In
cinerators accepted by other cities
through the instrumentality of
Howard Frantz.
The defendant witness said that
he asked Howard to return him the
agreement bu: that the latter told
him that It was locked in his
father s safe. Hi promised however,
to turn ovçr to him the papers.
Hook said, but failed to do that, al
though he said he had destroyed it.
.V copy of a letter written by
Hook to Howard Krant* on January
7. was admitted as evidence and read
before the Jury. The letter told of
the refusal of Hook's father to per
mit entrance into such an agreement
as he had signed and imformlng
Howard that the "best he could do"
would be to allow him a proportion
of his individual commission. How
ard Franta' portion would be be
tween 51,004 and 51,100, the letter
set forth.
Howard FraffT*' alleged answer to
this letter was read to the Jury. In
it, Frants stated as for keeping for
mytelf ail the dollàrs I have rot
been able to do so. much as I need
them."
In a conversation the night of
January It or 16, Hook said. Howard
Frants to'd him that he and his
father had spent 11.500 In "getting
Councilmen In line" and assured
him that the contract would be
awarded the Davis Company. Ho
said he threatened to withdraw his
bid but that Howard had advised
him against such action. «
