 NEW YORK; Nov. 19.-The three alleged
 "squealers,' Charles B. Waite Ludolph A.
 Fullgraf and Michael Duffy, were on hand
 early this morning to testify in the case
 against McQuade. They had remained with
 their families last night under police surveil-
 lance. The jury were brought from the As
 tor House at 10:45 and few minutes after
 that Recorder Smyth appeared a nd Charles
 B. Waite again took the witness stand. He
 said he had been during the year 1884 at the | office of the Broadway railroad good many 1 times. He did not attend the meeting of the | board of aldermen when the franchise was | passed. He came to New York August 29
 in response to 8 telegram, but did not ! know from whom it came. He saw James | A. Richmond then and had a conver-
 sation with him. After the talk he went to the City Hall when he again saw MT. Rich mond and MT. Bright. One or the other gave ! him paper. While in the city he met Maloney, who asked him to sign paper. When he signed it all the names of the alder l men were on it. The paper was the order dissolving the injunction. McQuade was present at this meeting. On cross examination | witness said that the first meeting concern l ing the railroad was public. A number of 1 prominent men advocated franchise for the ! Broadway road at a subsequent meeting. On redirect examination, Waite said the report | had been prepared in the office of Sanborn & l Bright.
 Alderman Fullgraf was next ca He'd. He | was examined by Assistant District Attor- ney Nicoll. He said he had been indicted | on the same charge as the defendant and | that he had pleaded not guilty and he had made statements to the district attorney ! with reference to the case in question and his | connection herewith, and he then said at a special meeting of the board of aldermen in May, 1884, he was present. It was agreed l among them that it was necessary for ma ! jority of the board to unite for the purpose of dealing with any business transactions or ! affairs that might come before the board.
 Another meeting was held week later at witness office; had his men go home after o'clock. The meeting was held in May before the passage of the Broadway railroad bill. There were thirteen members of the board present, including defendant: Mclaughlin, Kinney, Sayles, Waite, McCabe, Duffy, Jaehne and three others; it was agreed to vote together anything of business nature; thirteen was a majority of the board. Nothing said about the Broadway rail- road; the next meeting of the thirteen YVES at Chairman McLaughlin's house. The first business discussed was the Broadway railroad franchise; it was stated two other compa- nies had applied for the franchise ]; it was stated that one company, the Cable road, had offered $75O, 900 for the fran chise, one-half cash. one-half bonds. The Broadway Surface railroad had offered $500,- 900 cash for the franchise. Witness thought Jaehne said it would not be advisable to cept the Cable company's offer because that company was not reliable; that it would be better to give it to the Broadway Surface
 railroad for $500, 900 cash; vote was taken
 and it was unanimously decided to give it to the Broadway railroad, $22, ,000 to be given ing at McLaughlin's house at which twelve were present; the question came up
 at that meeting who should be appointed to
 receive and distribute the money; McCabe
 suggested Maloney, as he was used to the
 business. Duffy proposed Keenan. Some one thought Maloney could not be trusted with much money. Keenan was unani-
 mously agreed upon and continuing, aforesaid, someone said that Keenan would like them to let him know when 1t was all
 right. It was also arranged that Maloney should get the other necessary votes in order that the resolution might be passed over the veto. All these meetings took place before August 6. There was yet another meeting of the thirteen at McLaughlin's in re- lation to the subject of overrid- ing the Mayors veto, at which most of the talking was done by Jaehne and DeLacey. The majority of them, however, talked on the subject. It was stated that more votes would have to be obtained to
 pass the resolution over the Mayors vote and that money would be required for that pur- pose. Accordingly it was resolved that each
 member of the thirteen should receive $2O,- 900 instead of $22, 900 as previously arranged. The witness then told of his meeting with
 Maloney and of his signing the call for the special meeting After meeting Maloney he went to his office, whence he proceeded about 9:30 o'clock to the City Hall where the spe- cial meeting of the common council was held. Fullgrafs evidence caused great sensation in court.
 After ex-AIderman Fullgra if had on direct examination confessed taking bribe and that the other indicted aldermen had taken bribes for voting the Broadway railroad franchise he was subjected to a severe cross examination by MT. Newcomb. In response to questions witness said: 'I am manufac- turer of paper boxes and have been engaged in that business for twenty years." "Are you devoted to your family?" "Yes; I am particularly devoted to my children and grandchildren" "Do you remember being called as g witness before the secret committed" "I do." ''Were you sworn thena" .I was" s'Why is it that you affirm today then" 'I do not know" s'I think you misunderstood my question"
 The witness did not reply at once. He bowed his head in his hands and tears gush- ed from his eyes. He seemed about to fall from his chair and one of the court at tendants ran forward to save him. "Why do you not answer my question: Fullgraf still looked confused. He acted as if he was dazed. Looking up he exclaimed in voice full of emotion: "1 did 1t from re- ! morse As an honest man filled with re- morse, after false step" No one spoke word for several minutes. The recorder looked at the witness and then nodded to MT. Newcomb to proceed. "Have you any. regard for an oathE
 M have" repisa fuigys Waald reoUn you deliberately commit periurya" "I | would not, sir" ''Would you commit perjury to benefit your family or yourselfs" | 1T would not" ''Would you commit per Jury to iniure any human being?" "No, sir"
 You remember that the Senate appointed | committee to investigate the alleged irregu- | larities of the aldermen, do you? "Yes, ! sir" sWere you examined before the com ! mitteea" "Yes" ssYou remember the an
 swers you gave then, do you nota" I do." "Were those answers true?" FullgraH looked scared. He gazed at the jurymen and then
 in pleading way at MT. Maritime and his l assistants as if asking them to help him, but they were perfectly quiet. Then in tremu- ! lous voice he said: ssI think so." "Do you ! know when the application for the franchise was first made to the board of aldermeng" 'I do." s'I will read to you some of the | questions put to you and the answers you | gave to that committee"
 Fullgraf looked as though he would like
 to disappear through the floor and McQuade listened intently with his eyes on
 MT. Newcomb. That gentleman read question which asked if Fullgraf knew of any meetings of the members of the board outside the aldermanic chamber on these oc-
 casions. Fullgraff said he dld not Rno" .oI oI recolIect the substance of it" 'That is what
 l mean. Was it true then2" ''It may have
 been from what knew then" "lt IS true 2O ttNQ.V 'N.Ilen
