MR., HESING'9 TESTIMONY,

4AQs AE1AHH . 4G1AAl&VN
The testimony Of Mr.. HEs1No, which bears
upon its face tho impress OF truth, taken
In connection with RE1tM's, reveals cad
picture Of political trading, jobbey, and
corruption, based upon regularly organized
system Of swindling tho Government out OF
it's revenue. 1lr. HEs1xa 'was for a long
time the j" Boss" Of city and county poll
tics, and ho hns now mndo clean breast Of
what he knows about corruption in Chicago
and Cook County. That thoso who Aave not
read Ills testimony in detail may be in pos
session OF it's salient points, We present i. in
condensed form:
/. It is clearly established that Mr., HEsrsa
did not corrupt blr. REIN; on the otbor
hand, TINT al Mr. REHst's relations with A1r.
HEs1No, and oil his rotations with other
machine politicians md crooked whisky
dealers, 60 to show that he waa born in
original sin, and was never introduced to
corruption through tho medium Of tempter.
2. It is very Clearly shown that Mr nEuM's
declarations to Mr. HEs1aa md other parties
in May, 1873, mud at other times, that
3lessrB. MUM nnd HoTr were innocent mon
and had nothing to do with the conspiracy
to detraua Inc reVonne, we're 1a'rlcations,
manufactured for particular purpose; that
durinh tho whole Of this time, when REuM
was asserting they could not be indicted, ho
had secret understanding with them, and
that, when ho was about "to lay down" Ao
admitted their euiit 70 h&s1sa himself.
