COLLECTED "GRAFT" FOR AMES.
Witness in Trial at Minneapolis Gives
Details of System.
Minneapolis, May 5.In the trial dt
Former Mayor Ames for bribery Sat
urday Irwin A. Gardner, who swears
he collected the "graft" for the mayor
from abandoned women, was recalled
for redirect examination. He de
clared that he had given his evidence
without promise of immunity or re
ward of any kind from the state. He
admitted collecting from patients of
Dr. Ames for medical services, but
swore that the "graft" payments were
entirely distinct from these transac
tions. Asked why he did not turn the
money he collected over immediately,
instead of retaining it until $000 had
been accumulated, he explained that
the mayor was imbibing too freely
and was in no condition to receive it.
Thomas R. Brown, who was the may
or's private secretary testified that
he had seen Gardner pay the mayor a
sum of money in bills. He described
the circumstances, corroborating
Gardner's evidencebut-could not fix
the date exactly. He also produced a
list of "rooners" he had found in the
mayor's desk while cleaning it out.
This was after the mayor had left
town. It was in the handwriting of
Charles R. Hill, the mayor's captain of
police, and presumably was the list of
women who were paying for protec
tion. Christopher Norbeck. former po
lice detective, now serving a sentence
in the state prison at Stillwater for
bribery, told the story of "graft" and
his connection with it. His evidence
was largely corroborative of Gard
ner's.
