From The Baltimore San.


Wits Pro and CON in this case continue TO
multiply. We find among them the unsworn
statement Of Robert Looney Of Philadelphia,
in which he contradicts several of the state
ments in Stevenson's affidavit; and saws that
Stevenson has raised "a monstrous super
structure of falsehoods on a small founda-
ton of facts" He admits the receipt of
$1,000 in 1898, but says it was to pay men
for going on to detect ILLEGAL VOTERS, not as
Stevenson says, to vote!
David Dorance, keeper of the United
States Hotel in Philadelphia, ~testifes, by az
fdavit, that Glentworth was at his house for
three or four days, before the New York
election of 1888, and that he openly declared
his purpose Of bringing on men to detect H.
legal voters.
N. w. Bridges, assistant Of Mr.. Darrance,
t~estifies in the same way to the SAM facts;
and to the additional one, that he cdshed a
check for Mr.. Glentporth. "drawn by Mr..
Gill. Of the city of Philadelphia, for six hum
dred dollars"

J. S. Shepherd, David High, VIM. Gibson,
Benjamin Beale, R. Berriman, David Cal
houn, VIM. Pickering, Draper Richardson
and Alexander Martin, all depose that they
nave not had anything to do with elections
in New York; that if their names were
used it was done without their authority.
John P. Reynolds, of Southwark, Phila-
delphia county, ~testifies in New York, by
affidavit. He details at some length the
bringing together of a party ofmen, OF which
he was one, with Myer, Hart, Macks, Strine,
Young, Reynolds, and others and sending
them on to New York, their reception there
by a committee, the disposition made Of them,
and the disposition they made of themselves.
He was told in New York, at several Of the
polls, by different members of his company,
that they would vote. that they had got paid
for it and would do it. Some said they had
voted several times, and intended to vote
again, and some .'shook the money at him."
and reproached him for not 'going round
and voting Also" He had called on Young
at the Mayors office-Young having en-
ployed him. Robert Reynolds and Myer
H. Mark were W Of those who said they
would vote; both said they got paid to vote
and would vote, but deponent did not see
them vote; but he heard Donally and others
of the party from Philadelphia say they vo-
ted in four or FIVE different wards and got
paid fori it. These were the men who "stook
the money at him.
Myers Hart Marks, of the county OF
Phailadelphia, who makes his affidavit in
New York, corresponds in the main, and
in most of the particulars. with John p.
Reynolds. He was employed by High Con-
stable Young, and went on with his brother,
