THE BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.
ALBANY, June 14th.-In the investigation
to-day, Bradley testified that there was no
discord between him and Sessions, although
all Of the party did not indorse Sessions ac-
ticn at Chicago. Thought he did not tell G.
P. Ingersoll he had voted for Conkling and
Piatt for the last time. he would not make
direct answer whether he told New York
Times correspondent that he would vote for
Depew hereafter. He did not think he told
him or Lyman B. Smith of the Buffalo Cou-
rier that outside money was given to witness
by an outside lobbyist. He was positive he
did not tell +. NJ. Miller of Chautauqua the
same nor did he remember saying in Kelly's
cigar store in Olean, on Sunday, that there
was CONSERVATION in store for the people at
Albany. He thought he did say he could get
$500 for voting for Depew. and at the same
time please his constituency, but he said he
would not do it. He did not tell the Post
master that he could get 81, 800 to vote for
Depew.
On redirect examination Bradley was
greatly excited. After making his speech he
gave copy of it to the first reporter who
asked for it. In regard to his talk at Olean,
he said he was thinking of the star route de-
velopments. He thought he could get $500
from the lobby at Albany, because they were
so very energetic for Depew. He said he had
not drank even cider since he left the inebri-
ate asylum in 1872 nor even eaten sauces in
which brandy or wine is used. His misstate-
of way in the Peg Leg Railroad matter was
the result of forgetfulness, not of desire to
deceive. No one ever suggested to him the
making of false charge against Sessions or
any one else. Bradley said he thought from
the street and newspaper talk that some
members of the Legislature could be bought.
His was the only case in which he limited of
an offer being made, except, perhaps, to the
Youngs.
A recess was then taken by the committee.
SENATOR SESSIONS swEARs.
ALBANY, June 14th.-In the afternoon,
Senator Sessions testified that he was an ex-
pert in promoting the interest of candidates.
He knew the evening before Bradley's dis
closure that it was coming. 1t was rumor
on the street didn't talk to Bradley about
it; was once a witness in bribery case in
the Senate, in which he had acted as counsel
for pay, or it might be called lobbyist; paid
no money to any body to vote for the measure;
was lobbyist six or seven years, off and on,
advocating such bills by argument as he was
paid for advocating. He denied being init
mate with Winans when he left the Republi-
can party and went over to the Democrats,
and lost control of the House to the Repub.
licans; knew Forsyth Of Troy, and got
$1,000 to oppose the Albany bridge bill had
assisted in Washington in one or two matters,
but never divided the pay he got went up to
Woodin's room after leaving Bradley in the
Delsvan House told the caucus June Sth
that he had secured vote. Witness thought
he had secured Bradley to vote for Depew,
as Bradley said witness wouldn't be disap-
pointed in his vote. Witness was surprised
when Bradley voted for Conkling and Platt
never had any reason to believe Bradley cor
ruptible.
Adjourned.
