at Salem at the time Of the election; he
neither admitted nor denied that he
brought money to Salem; Palmer told
me that he supported Nesmith in tho
caucus, but concluded he did not fill the
bill as a Democrat, and consequently
went over to Grover; no one told me
money a used, but many told me they
thought so; Whitaker, president Of the
senate, told me- Immediately after the
election, | am satisfied Grover has been
elected by the use of money; / don't
exactly know it, but | came pretty near

cbial school. The bishop himself and
other clerical witnesses were cross ex-
amined deliberately, and large numbers OF
papal documents, DEGREES Of the various
councils, the "~encyclical letter of the
Pope, etc, were introduced by defendant
for the purpose Of showing that parochial
schools we're organized and conducted
for purposes hostile to free institutions
and opposed to the public policy Of
State, and not therefore to be construed
and coming within the meaning Of the
exemption clauses Of the statutes, either
as public schools or as institutions Of
purely public charity, and to show that
the bishop holds a title to the property
not as trustee, but absolutely accountable
only to the Pope Of Rome. To-day Judge
Jones, in an elaborate opinion, held that
the establishment of these schools was
not in any legal sense opposed TO public
policy unless they we're tainted with the
Ill, gality Of its origin, purpose or ten
dency, or the incontrovention Of public
morality; that the bishop was really O
trustee for the property for school pur-
poses, and hat a court Of equity could,
il necessary, enforce the trust; hat the
school property was not exempt as pub
lie school property, but that being built
AMI partially carried on by voluntary
donations aud no income arising there
from, they we're exempt from taxation
az institutions Of purely public charity,

cerned, but not exempt for special as.
