North had been guilty. So we went to Car.
son City together.
The FIRST man that we saw on striking that
town was the Hon. James II. Hardy. He
immediately got Mr.. Stewart by the arm
took him out into the middle Of the street
and after whispering word or two to him,
he beckoned to me to come along too. Then
he proceeded to make to Mr.. Stewart and
myself the following statement: He told Mr..
Stewart and myself that in the case Of the
Burning Moscow Company against the Ophlr
Company, Judge North who decided that
case in his favor, had been bribed! He told
us that he had been bribed by getting one
hundred feet of Burning Moscow Stock-that
he knew all about it. He said that knowing
how the Injunction was going-knowing that
Judge North Ind been bribed, knowing that
he was going to stick to the oargain-he had
gone in and invested $4,000, in Burning
Moscow Stock. He went on to say-telllng
about this thing in the most circumstantlal
and minute manner, stating 1t with all the
care of witness on the stand under oath
that man by the name Of Rice" in Car
son CITY, a man whom Mr.. Stewart and my
self know was particular friend Of Judge
North, was the "middle man." who "trans-
acted" the affair and fixed up the trade. l
thought over the thing, and started. But
Judge Hardy was not in condition at that
time, gentlemen, not exactly in that sort Of a
condition that man ought to be in while
making 4 charge so grave. And, still, told
Mr.. Stewart, net to make any fuss about this
thing, but to wait until Judge Hardy got So
Der, and then see whether he intended it.
Applause and Kisses.
Well, Judge Hardy, Mr.. Stewart and my
self all slept in the same house that night.
Judge Hardy kept talking about this thing.
The next morning-yery early in the morn
ing-Judge Hardy was " all right" Then l
went into his room and then, when perfectly
sober-iust as sober as ever any man was IN
the world-he solemnly reiterated those
charges against Judge North, told these facts
over again, and said that If we wanted them
proved against Judge North, ali that we
would have to do would be to put him on the
stand. To continue my statement: although
I am free to say, my fellow-citizens, don't
like to convey a charge against man com
ing from Judge Hardy (Merriment and
hiSses)-coming from the side Judge Hardy
said had bribed Judge North-my faith in
Judge North was somewhat shaken and stag
gered. However, l didn't make much OF a
fuss about it, so Ear as l was concerned. l
didn't care much about 1t, one way or the
other. came home. This thing began to
raise a smell in the community. Judge Har'
dy was suddenly taken sick and confined to
his room, and gentlemen told me that Judge
Hardy was asserting that Stewart was stating
these charges against Judge North upon his
Judge Hardy's) authority, which he had no
right TO do Then Clipped in, because |
dida't want my friend Stewart to suffer. l
heard this thing myself, and was not going
to allow Judge Hardy to say that he never
told Mr.. Stewart this thing, when l was there
and heard it myself. So went with Judge
North and Mr. Stewart to Judge Hardy's
house. We found that he was lying in bed.
He was sick, and we did not want to bore
him. Mr.. Stewart and myself, together,
asked him the questions. We wanted TO
stay there Just so short time as possible.
In the presence Of Judge North we asked
Judge Hardy this question: Judge Hardy,
didn't you assert to us, together-to US indi-
vidually-that Judge North was thief; that
Judge North had been bribed, and you knew
it p He said be did. Sensation. Then |
left him. Now, gentlemen, that is all know
about the matter.
Mr.. Baldwin retired, amid noisy demon
STATIONS of various and opposite descrip-
tons.
Loud calls for Hardy.
The President-Judge Hardy will be heard
at his own meeting, l suppose, If he has one.
The facts are here stated with fearful
distincness, and with a minuteness of de-
tail and fullness of circumstance which
bear the impress of truth. One signif-
cant part of this statement is not denied.
Judge Hardy does not deny that he did
invest his $4,000 in Burning Moscow
stock on the faith of having "a dead
thing" and it is a well known fact that
he did invest largely and recklessly. He
undoubtedly did believe that he had q
dead thing. He was attorney for the
Burning Moscow, and his expectations
were justified by the decisions of Judge
North. The above facts, to our mind,
throw additional light upon the PROPOSE
ton that the Moscow received different
treatment from the North Potosi and other
companies, and that Judge North's ideas
upon the unity or multiplicity of lodges
depend not entirely upon their develop
ment. The foregoing is enough for one
case and for one day.
