Gun. Have you knowledge of how much any
body else paid him?
lss. cannot speak precisely about that. Mr.
Slacum can answer the question better than my
Ques. thought you furnished money to Mr.
Slacum, is the reason propounded the interroga-
tory! A.. -,
| known how it was disbursed.
Mr.. BRADLEY. Was it paid directly to him OF
| for his use!
Ans. l sent it to him on both occasions-the last
time, think, by Mr.. Canalizo The last amount
was to pay his tavern bill.
| Cues. Did you pay Wizards bill also!
| Ans. do not know exactly about that.
Mr.. MAY. Do you know the amount of Will
Iard's bill?
Ans. No, sir.
Mr.. BRADLEY. Did you pay any other witness
any money, and If y, how much?
Ans find by my memoranda that on the Goth
of September, 1882 a statement was made of the
pay MIR. Togno, who was then about to return to
Mexico That statement was shown to the Presi.
dent. and he directed it to be paid. paid him
8 ,407 so. That for his expenses, 5000; his
return, 5000; his board for one hundred and thir-
ty one days, and the current expenses of his fam
ny, composed OF twelve persons, in the city of
Mexico.
CUES Did the Marshal pay Togno?
Ans. do not think be did He may have paid
him since. If he had paid him he would have been
credited in that statement. l have not paid him
any thing this term, and do not know whether he
has been paid ony thing at all.
Mr.. MAY. You do not know how much applies
to this cause?
Ans. None of it applies to this term.
The CoURT. think that good deal of it does.
1t was uncertain whether thiscause would be tried
then not. That payment seems to have been
made on the goth OF September; that the amounts
would be applicable to this cause, ! suppose.
Mr.. MAY. There were several other causes in
which he was witness
The DIsrRIcr ATTORNEY. The President CON
sidered the arrangement made by Mr.. Letcber for
bringing the witnesses here. This witness was
taken from his family, and his expenses were paid
while he was here. That was what he stated him
Mr. BaADLlr. Who else did you pay3
Ans. paid Mr.. Wright $3.50 so.
The Court. When?
ans The same time that paid Togno-on the
Goth of September; and his account was passed on
the same principles He came here and returned
with Togno. but bis family smaller, and his
expenses were therefore less with respect to that
item There is nobody else-on the list which hold
in my hand to whom paid money except Mr.
Navarro
Mr.. MAY. do not think that witness was asked
how much he had received.
The Court. do not think that this is a case of
contradiction. My idea is that when you want to
contradict witness, you must ask him whether
at such time, he has not said SO and So and done
80 and SO, to give him an opportunity to explain;
but you may state an independ cnt fact which does
not come out of his mouth. The court said, in his
decision the other day. that so far the evidence is
admissible, because it may affect the witness in two
ways-irst, by showing bias, and second, by
showing discrepancy between fact and what he
said
Mr.. MAY. We have no sort of objection to the
question.
The DIsrHIcr ATTORNEY. Mr.. Navarro had a
subpoena served upon him in the city of New York
just as he was about embarking for home. He had
paid the passage money for himself and clerk, 4 60
for each-$ 100 in all-which amount was refund
cd to him
Cues. What was the total amount you paid him?
Ans., 1892: He received no witness fee nor per
diem; but only his actual expenses whilst here
CUES. When was he summoned?
An' He was summoned early, think sometime
before this case began.
Mr.. BRADLEY. Had he taken his passage before
he was summoned, or afterwards?
Ans. do not know. His ticket is dated 10th
March. Mr.. Goddard had the subpoena, and he
said that he found Mr.. Navarro just as be was 60
ing on board
Mr. J. III. Goddard was here recalled, and stated
that he serv ed the subpoena on MIR. Navarro who
said he had paid his passage the day before, and
that be was about to start for Havana He was very
reluctant to remain here, and be would not come
until be was obliged to.
Mr. BRADLEY. (To the District Attorney You
have stated all that you paid?
Ans. Yes, sir.
Richard Wallach, recalled
Mr. BRADLEY. You have been marshal four
years, have you not?
Ans. Yes, sir.
Cues. During that time has there been anv in
stances of extra allowance to witnesses?
Ans. No witnesses have received 90 far az re.
collect, more than their per diem and mileage
That is the strict rule.
MIR. MAY. You have nothing to do with e ira
ordinary circumstances?
Ans. have nothing to do with what the Gov
eminent pays.
Mr. BRADLEY. Have you paid Wright or Togno
any thing?
Ane have mt mid roona&, "a To.,o -. r
have to Wright. think that he has been paid for
thirty one days, independent of what testified
that he had previously received $500. The
amount, think, heretofore stated was what he
received during the last term of the court. He
has received pay for thirty days for this term
Mr.. MAY. What was that for?
Ans. For his travelling expenses, and for his at.
tendance last term. Mr.. Minor has just handed
me the abstract, and find that paid him S 100 at
one time. What he has received besides that S loo
do not know.
Mr.. BRADLEY. That is Independent of what Mr..
Fendall paid him!
Mr.. Fendall what he got from me. My payment
was on account of travelling expenses and per
diem, as witnesses in this cause. do not recoect
about Togno. Neither of them have been away
since the last term. / know that ! paid Mr.
Wright 800, because that item was thrown out
of my accounts when they came to be settled at
the Department. At the time paid Mr.. Wright
s 100, find that paid Noah E. Smith $6l IS, as
I.
tlesey threw the 800 out of my account because
of some informality. l gave the witness a check
for the money, but the Sub treasury act requires
me to make affidavit that he got the money. He
must have got the money, for find that the
amount paid him is de iucted from my account
in the bank. can give evidence that the District
Attorney knew that he got the money. The same
is the case with the pa yment made to Mr.. Wright.
have merely made this statement to show that
these cases have not been hunted up for the occa-
sion. At the December term paid r. L. Jones
$20I 10; James Wright, STA TO-; Charles E.
Bowes STA 10; Alfred A. Lewis, $179 TO- In
addition these gentlemen have received for thirty

HsARr-RENDINa ScENE.-A terrible accident
occurred at Scaghticoke Point, on Tuesday, by
which two boys were drowned. There were four
boys playing in skif in the Hoosick river, above
the upper fall, and that before they were aware of
it their little craft oated out in the stream where

boys, discovering the danger of their position,
toiled with all their energy they could bring to
bear. They gave alarm to the shore, and the
neighbors in the vicinity gathered to the scene
The parents of the boys were among the specta.
