for It? A. The councllmen, as he wanted to feel
sate, know ilia t, he had Itt lie said some of them
he would not give the $100, wouldn't give any
thing until it passed the third reading. He said!
"They know they can trust mc," he said, "I
lmc hid $20,000 of this kind of money before."
I gave him $1,100 In $100 bills. He sat facing
the door of room 25, and I to his right.
q. What did he do with Hie money? A. lie
took the money and counted it out) I counted
It first and handed It to Mm, and I said, "You
better look at hat, majbe I gave jou $1,600, '
and ho connled It and lountcd $1,400, nnd I said,
"Don't lose it," and he took It, folded It up
and put It In Ills left hand pints pocket.
Q. What time did he leave? A. About 7.2.V
q. Where were Whitney and Anderson at that
time? A. tn room 25.

it they were not their pnrt of the
money would bo returned. Cnhiln
xvtiH very Fore on the 1 nil way com
imny, Grler suld, because of a suit be
tween them. It would bo a (llfltcult
mutter to land hlni.
On Saturday, May 10, Grler aaln
visited Unrrla nnd snid ho had ob
tained seventeen Instead of fourteen
rouncllnion nnd that $000 more would
be required, ua these men would have
to be kept In lino. Hnrrln refused to
(jive It. llnrrls wild thut Orler told
him that Morris V. Morris wanted; his
100, but Grler would not kIvo it to
him until the job was completed. "I
know him; lie's 11 milker," was the
expression Harris said Orler used In
reference to Morris.
They then tnlked about the Speed
way ordinance and llrlor said ho wns
handling that company's money In
common council, but could Introduce
him to 11 man who would knock It out
In select. Harris said the money he
paid Orler he Rot from F. H. Beers
and from Detective Whitney, who was
working with him. The witness said
he did not go to any of the members
of the Men's union, for fear of arous
ing suspicion.
At this point Harris was withdrawn
nnd A. R. Dunning sworn, his testi
mony to be taken out of order be
cause ho wanted to lenve tho city. An
offer was made, and when tho nature
of tho testimony he proposed to give
was brought to tho attention of the
court, it was ruled out for the pres
ent, ns not proper at this time. Court
adjourned at this point and Harris
will go on the stand this morning.
