testified that he published in the Austin Regis
ter in September 1876. a copy Of the report
furnished him by Mr.. 1ngmundson.
To MI. Losey-He was sure it was copy OF |
the full report of the grand jury as furnished !
by Mr.. Ingmundson.
G. W. CAMERON
was present in court at the September term,
1876, and heard the charge of Judge Page to
the grand jury, calling attention to irregular
tiles at the county treasnrers Office, and in
structiug them to investigate the matter. Was
also present at the March term, 1877, when the
Judge charged as to the irregularities in the
treasurers Office, and instructed careful in
vestigation. Heard the judge call attention to
the band practising in the auditors office,
Mr.. Cameron then repeated what occurred at
different times as to the grand jury in the Ing
mupdson matter, substantially as testified to
by Mr.. French.
Continuing, Mr.. Cameron said he appeared
as Ingmundson's counsel at the time of the ex-
animation before Page. Told the judge had
no evidence to introduce, and in addressing
the judge said that Ingmundson had done no
intentional wrong and ought to be discharged.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Davis, Mr.. Cameron
said he called the attention of the grand jury
of defalcations in that county, and dwelt at
some length upon the tendency of the times to
breaches of trust, etc. The judge, at the March
term, 1877, told the grand jury if the facts be-
fore them would Justify their report, the acts
constituted an indictable offense. Huntington
and Enaln, mentioned by Judge Page as hav
ing defaulted and were away, were town treas
urers.
Nh HAMMOND
was a member of the grand jury at the March
term 1877. Heard the charge Of Judge Page,
the substance of which he recited substantially
| the same as the previous witnesses.
Cross-examined by M-. Losey-Judge Page
ordered the arrest of Ingmundson fright now"
Those were the words he used. Grand jury
| came in only once for instructions. knew
Ingmundson was in the jury-room once. Was
in there five or ten minutes. He was in the
chair used by witnesses. Don't think he was
| sworn. He was questioned by the foreman.
Don't recollect the Judge charged as to defend
ants not being admitted to the grand jury
| room. Don't think the foreman asked the
court to discharge the grand jury. Think he
reported no further business two or three days
before they were discharged. The jury asked
| to be discharged more than once.
Re-Direct-T} e judge sent for the jury once.
Don't recollect what the judge said.
| WILLIAM L. STILES
testified he was q member of the grand jury of
the March term, 1877. He then in substance
repeated the testimony of the previous wit
nesses. The witness gave his evidence without
any prodding by the managers, telling the en-
tire story and emphasizing different points, in
a manner that caused the usually sober and
dignified court to break out into laughter, the
president having to use his gavel on one occa-
sion.
Cross examined by Mr.. Losey, MIR. Stiles
again convulsed the court With laughter by his
manner of giving his evidence, some Of the
special scenes discounting the famous Col
: Sellers court scene. Being asked by Mr.. Losey
L r. n.
''bribed" and ''perjured' in his remarks to the
grand jury when failing to report a bill against
1ngmundson, he said he was. Asked if he did
!, not get excited at times, he said he did, but
that he not excited but he remembered
the Judge using the words mentioned. ASKED
, by Mr.. Losey if he believed the Judge when hi
, so charged Mr.. Stiles unhesltatingly answered
/ ':Well he was Judge, and knew him to be
good lawyer, and did believe him. The an
swer was too much for the court, and the pres
: ident's gavel raped vigorously several time
before order was restored.
