T1IH M WOR'S STORY.
Foimer Mayor Hailey was the only
witness examined last night. Theie
was a great ciowd 111 the aldeiman's
ollke when Hip heating began at 7.fi.
The examination In chief was con
ducted by Attorney H. C. New comb,
of the Men's union, and the cioss-ex-nmln.itlon
In chief wns conducted by
Joseph O'ltilen, of con il. el tor the ac
cused.
In substance, Mr. Tin Hey said that
In the late winter or spilng of 1S9P.
while the oidlnancp was befoie coun
cils, gi anting to the P.aiber Asphalt
company a ten-year conti act for the
i'pdlr of the asphalt pa'-ed streets or
the city. Select Councilman Finn told
him that It would be woith $1,000 to
him (Halle j) If he wou'd sign the oi
dinance that was then pending, In the
event of council passing It. The wit
ness told Finn he would sign the oi
dinance for that amount. He had no
talks of anv kind, so far as he could
lemember, with fail W. McKlnnney
nbout thnt oidinance.
"Finn gave me to undei stand," the
witness explained, "that Hip money
was to come from McKinney for the
Hat her people."
The attention of the witness was
then ended to the fact that Mi. Finn
fought the oidlnnn on the lloor of
the council.
' I don't lecall whether he fought
l or not," leplled Mr. Tiailey, "but I
do not se- why he should, for he talked
to me as If he was v ny much In favor
of It and was constantly urging me
to sign the oidinance "
FINN PAID MOXHY.
After the oidlnaive was passed and
was In his hands. Mr Hailey said
that Mr. rinn uiged him icpeatedly
to sign It and he eventually did. A
few days after ! lecelved J.'.'O from
Mr. Finn and at Intervals Installment's
on the balance until all was paid. Mr.
Finn told the witness it would be bet
ter for nil of them If the money was
paid In Installments and the witness
ngieed to this.
The witness was then questioned
about the matter testified to by Mr.
Finn a week ago. who said that befoie
the oidinance passed, Mr. Hailey came
ot him 'iivl nsKed foi a part of the $1,1
OOP, saving he bid a cat load of flour he
wanted to pay for. Mr. Hailey denied
having iiinile such a lecpiest. He said

he frequently bonovved rums of money
from Finn nnd on one of the occnsloni
when he did thli he wnnted to pay for
Hour.
When the appiopriation otdlnnnce
wns passed by councils In Mnich, W9,
Mr McKinney called ut his olllce sev
etal times and asked him to sign It.
There wns no nipntlon mnde of money.
This ordinance. It might be mentioned,
nppinptlated $l7,f0fi to pay for the Hist
year's woik under the piovMons of
the rppalr con I tact.
On Monday, Apt 11 C. the mayot's
teiin would explio nnd on Sunday,
Apt 11 !". Mi. Finn made an en
Fagement by telephone for tho
mayor to meet Mr. Finn and
McKinney at Ml Hallej's stoiv
that afternoon. The oidlnancp had
then been In the mayoi s hands sIiicp
Mnich '12. The two men came to the
store togethei and Mr. McKinney said
he would pay $-'."0 If he would sign
the ordinance.
Mr. Finn said that was not enough,
that the mayor- ought to have $1,000,
and Mr. Hnlley Insisted that he would
not sign It for less than $1,000. Mr.
McKinney said the company could not
pay that amount, but finally agreed
to give ..VH. This was i ejected by tho
ninvor, and Mr. Finn and Mr. McKln-ti'-y
left the stoic, the latter stating
ho would see Mr. Hailey at his ofllee
the following moinlng.
Soon after ') o'clock on Monday
morning, Mr McKinney appealed In
fhe mayor's piivate ofllee and laying
$7".0 In bills on his desk told him to
sign the oidlnancp and th money was
his. The mayor lefused to do It for
less than $l,0i0 an 1 Mr. McKlney left
thc olllce, taking his money with him.
The major then went over to the c Ity
'reasuier's olTlc" to settle some matteis
there before letlilng fiom ofllee. He
talked over the appiopilatlon oidi
nance matter with City Tieasuter C.
O. lioland, City Conti oiler F. J Hob-
Inson and Mr. Finn, all of whom wete
In the ofllee at the time and they ad
v Ised hlin to veto the Item of $17,fi00
foi the lepalr of asphalt paved stieets.
He could not undeistund Mr. Finn's
change of fiont The day befotc' he
wns In favor of having the oidinance
signed If Mr. MciKnney would give
$1,000. Now he wanted the material
Hem Vetoed.
While the mnyoi was tailing with
these men a messeugei summoned him
to his olllce wheie he again found Ml.
McKinney The latter laid $1,000 In
bills on his desk and told hlin to sign
fhe oidinance. He lefused the monev
telling Mr. McKinney he had decided
to veto the Haiber Item and he walked
out of his piivate olllce He vetoed the
Item as he said he would,
MADIl DHNIALS.
The witness denied that Ml. McKin
ney thieacened to have the measuie
passed over his veto and he also denied
that anything connected with his set
tlement of the mutter of police lines
with Mie city tiensuier had anyhlng
to do with causing hl-n to iefu-e at the
last minute to accept Mr. McKInney's
$1,000.
Under cioss examination Mr Hailey
was asked If he did not testify at' a
pievlous healing that he did not leceive
nnv money In connection with the as
phalt contiact oidinance and admitted
that he did.
"Did you peijute ouiself then or
now?" Mr O'liiien asked.
The foimer major loweied his head,
blushed seal let and then said In n low
but distinct voice:
"I ueijuied myself at the foimer
healing."
Mr O'Hilen wanted to know why he
swoi e falsely at the foimer healing mid
Mi. Hailey leplleel that he was taken
off his gtiaiel and did what he supposed
any man would do under the cjicum
stnnees, ti y to cover up his misdeeds
Since then bv the advice of fi lends and
thiough the dictates of his conscience
be decided to fll the truth He de
nted that piomlses of anj kind weie
made to him It was his own olun-
taiy act, he said.
He admitted halng been In the of
flee of H. C. Newcomb, one of the nt
totnejs foi the Men's union, but de
nied that he signed a sratement theie.
Mr. italic) said In the most positive
way that the only time Mr. Finn ever
gave him money foi signing an oull
imuce was when he signed the asphalt
contiact oidinance He would not ad
mit that he was altogetner Indue ed to
sign that measuie b) the $1,000 paid to
him. He might have signed It anjwav
for a good many people weie In favor
of It.
WANT THH POOKP.
Attorney James II Tone) announced
at the close of Mr Halley's examina
tion that they weie not piepaied to go
nnv fin thei with the heailng at that
time. They had subpoenaed the books
of the company but owing to the man

After the heailng H. 15. Stuiges. of
the Men's union, when asked by a
'1 ilbune man whether or not the union

Any one of the sloiles legnrdlnB the

To settle the stllke, It Is uudeistood
It Is absolutely essential that the Mine

EVENTS OF THE DAY
IN THIS REGION
Hveiythlng was secondniy yesterday
to the negotiations for settling the
stllke. Scaicely any other featuie of
the situation was discussed. Opcra
tois, stilkeis and the general publl .
alike, bad no time for tiny other sub
ject The op"intois weie. as a uile, not
disposed to discuss the mutter, but
when one would give vent to his senti
ments It wus generally in er) expiess
Ive language. They did not like the
pioposltlon the heads of the conl woild
had fenced them up against and If the)
did not say so their manner eloquently
expiessed it.
"Wheie aie the opeiatois tonight''"
said one of them at Hotel Jeimyn, last
night lepeatlng the question of a
Tilbune lepoiter, 'I wouldn't want
the task of finding them. If )oui'e go
ing to hunt for them I'd advise you to
look under the table nnd behind eloois.
WVie not in sight this evening" And
the disgusted tones In which he said
this weie voluminous In their lmpott
Among the stilkeis it was cllffeient
They took the Haiuia Inteifeience to
mean that the opeiatois had weak
ened and eviy man you would meet
was teaely to point out how the opeia
tois never ellel expect to win.
'Why, what mote pioof do you want
that they did not Intend tomake a long
flght, than their leav Ing ;the mules In
the mines''" is the clinching sou of an
I-told-you-so bit of wise saying that
escaped fiom one of them ut stllke
headquarteis.
' What's the latest ' Oh we aie doing
nothing at nil," quoth nnothei. "We
aie testing cm out oais waiting for the
othei fellows to catch up The opei
