WHAT THE BANK'S BOOKS SHOW, Large Sums of Money Were Set Aside For Quay, and When It Was Not All Used by Him the Interest Was Come puted and Paid Over to the State Treasurer—One of the Most Remark- able Legal Papers Ever Written. ‘The House Is to Be Organized Against the Quay Ring. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Harrisburg, Dec. 27.—The troubles of Senator Quay continue to accumulate. Not the least of them is the answer of District Attosney George S. Graham, of Philadelphia, to the application of | Quay’s attorneys to have his case taken to the supreme court. The answer is one of the most startling revelations in this now famous case. The district at- torney declares emphatically that the books of the bank show that Senator Quay was not only a stock speculator with the cashier of the People’s bank, who subsequently shot himself, but that he speculated with the funds of the state, the monies of the people. DISTRICT ATTORNEY GRAHAM'S ANSWER. The answer is contained in a book of 16 pages. In the matter of the appeal of the Quays, father and son, and ex- State Treasurer Ben J. Haywood, to the supreme court to pass upon the de- murrers made to the indictments, Mr. Graham says: “For this court to review and pass upon the questions raised by the de- murrersf in this extraordinary and un- precedehted manner would be irregular and greatly prejudical to the safe and proper administration of justice. Such a course is utterly unknown to the law of Pennsylvania.” : AN INSULT TO THE COURT. The district attorney speaks of the petitioner's allegation that a fair trial would be impossible in the court of quarter sessions, as ‘a scandalous and untruthful statement, improvidently made and without a single fact to sup- port it,”” and as ‘a gross imputation against the 12 judges of the courts of Philadelphia.” Denial is made of the charges that the prosecution was inspired by ex- Judge Gordon, and the district attorney declares that it was undertaken solely upon his official responsibility in con- nection with what was sflown by the books of the bank, and this showing is set forth as follows “The books of the bank show that hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of stocks were bought for the said M. S. Quay with this money. That when- ever he failed to use his full allowance of public money thus set apart for him. interest was carefully’ calculated upon the balance not used by him in the pur- chase of stocks, and paid to the state treasurer.” ‘“The prosecution,” says the answer, “does not denend upon verbal testi- mony, but upon the written evidence created by the conspirators themselves in the pursuit of the object of their conspiracy. This evidence shows that the public funds of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania for years have been used by the conspirators for their pri- vate and unlawful gain. Interest has been allowed by the People’s bank on the deposits of public money and paid to the accused, in some cases placed to the individual deposit of the accused in their bank account and checked out by them along with their own moneys in the same account. “In other instances cashiers’ stocks and drafts have been made payable to the accused for certain sums of interest on the public money, and these docu- ments, bearing the indorsement of the accused, showing the receipt by them of the interest money paid, are in ex- istence and in the possession of the commonwealth.” AS TO JUDGE GORDON. Declaration is also made that it was at Judge Gordon's own request that the district attorney asked for another judge to sit in the case; that there has been no undue haste in pressing the matter for trial, and that there is no truth whatever in the allegation that political enemies of Senator Quay were in conspiracy to defeat his re-election by means of this case. : The district attorney avers that there {s no defense in the plea that no money was lost by the state or by the Peo- ple’s bank through the defendants. Says the answer: RESTITUTION NO DEFENSE. “A thief cannot set up restitution of stolen goods as a defense to a charge of larceny. Neither can those who have trafficked for their own advantage in the moneys of the commonwealth rais- ed by taxation from the people say in defense of their illegal acts that be- cause they were able to return the moneys so used that therefore they are not liable for their violation of the elated by Quay for the speakersntp, but Quay will throw him down for rT, because Senator-elect David Martin is for Farr. This has embittered Bliss and all his friends, and new complica- tions are arising to face Quay. Mr. Bliss says he will be against Mr. Quay if he violates his word to him. Hon. Frank McClain, of Lancaster, who was a prominent candidate for Quay speakership, in a recent interview said: “The man who votes for Quay for United States senator while these | charges hang over him and his trial is ' held up must crucify himself. And men | are not crucifying themselves for noth- ing.” The cry “no trial, no caucus,” is still ringing through the state. And it means disaster and defeat to the Quay machine. law in imperiling these funds in their own transactions and making large profits, gains and interests by the use | of them.” The answer of the commonwealth concludes with the averment that— “Appeals of this extraordinary na- ture are calculated to do irreparable | injury and to make it impossible to | successfully prosecute persons of wealth and power who are able to command all that ingenuity, skill and finesse can bring to their ald in escaping the legal consequences of thelr acts.” THE NEXT HOUSE. By the time my next letter reaches its thousands of readers the house of representatives will have been organ- ized for the session of 1899. It will be organized against Mr. Quay and his ring. Hon. John R. Farr, of Lacka- wanna, or George W. H. Koontz, of Somerset, will be the next speaker. Xhere is no doubt now but that the °° organization ef the house has gotten beyond Mr. Quay’'s control.

Address, o-oo PURINTON MEDICINE COMPANY, Detroit, Mich. have used Ripans Tabules with so much satis- faction that I can cheerfully recommend them. Have been troubled for about three years with what I called bilious attacks coming on regularly once a week. Was told by different physicians that it was caused by bad teeth, of which I had several. I had the teeth extracted, but the at- tacks continued. I had seen advertisements of Ripans Tabules in all the papers but had no faith in them, but about six weeks since a friend in- duced me to try them. Have taken but two of the small 5.cent boxes of the Tabules and have had no recurrence of the attacks. Have never given a testimonial for anything before, but the great amount of good which I believe has been done me by Ripans Tabules Induces me to add mine to the many testimonials’ you Souption have in your possession now.
