Afternoon PROCEEDINGS.

At p. m. the attorneys for both
sides were promptly in attendance.
There was some little wait for
the stenographer, however, during
which time Mr.. Baskin gazed
absentIy into space and Judge
Zane busted himself in digesting
the testimony given by Receiver Dyer
before Judge Sprague. Mr.. Dyer was
again put on the stand, and Judge Zane
proceeded to apply the thumbscrews.
In answer to queries. Dyer stated that
he had devoted, as he thought, the
greater portion of his time during the
year past to the duties of the Office of
receiver; was holding the position of
marshal before that time, and had been
since; keep four deputies at Ogden
now; four in Salt Lake, four or five at
Provo, and some below Provo; four at
Beaver; one in Sewer County and an
other in Park City; others here hold
commissions that are not actively at
work in the marshaPs Office; there have
been four courts in session for a short
time this fall; my Office as marshal
does not take up all my time, by any
means; it Is very hard to say just how
much time l have given to the mar
shaI's Office, but enough to attend to all
the work necessary.
ZANE-Do you serve any papers your
self?
DYER-No; the deputies do all this
work.
ZAxE-And you take percentage?
PowERs-We object.
ZANE-Well, I'll not press that; am
not particular.
ZANE-About how much time have
you given to the receivers duties?
MCBRIDE-We object to that.
ZANE-But, Judge, we are here to
furnish testimony upon which the
court is to act.
TO INVESTIGATE CORRUPTION ONLY.
PowERs-We are here investigating a
charge of alleged corruption-not to
determine the amount of his salary.
THE EXAMINER thought the evidence
sought to be brought out was admis-
sible.
MCBRIDE did not. The allegations
only were that unconsciOnable charges
had been made. The only reference
made to the Examiner was the alleged
charges. The whole petition was not
referred.
Powers AND WILLIAMS That is it.
THE EXAMINER-I would dislike to
take the risk of excluding anything
that might be deemed relevant. 1
would rather let it go to the court under
objection.
ZANE Ito Dyer)-Well, how much
time have you devoted to the Receivers
office?
DYER-It is very hard to determine
lust how much, almost every day l
have attended to that business. Since
l was appointed Receiver, l have been
out of the Territory four times. Three
times east and once west.
ZANE-You have been to California
twice, have you not?
UYER-Not since l was appointe d
Receiver. 1 went there on vacation.
ZANE-On your own private business 2
DYER-Yes. did not devote as much
time to the Office of marshal as l did to
that of receiver.
BAskIN-How do you arrive at that
conclusion2 You can't really tell can
you?
DYER-Well, not to nicely.
ZANE-It did not take much of your
time to look after the Temple Block !?
You were not acting as superintendent
of the tithing yard or historians Office ?
N II to the truStee-in-trust's office?
DYER-N0, sir.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-12-11

he is man of integrity; we say he is
not. 1t is not scandal. We stand here
upon these charges. We Say the
charges are unjust and unconscionable.
The FxAMINER-I hardly think, Mr..
Zane. that that is a proper question.
ZANE-We propose to show what
money he got-that he got it.
THE EXAMINER-I can't instruct the
witness to answer this question.
MCBRIDE 1t seems to me to be far
beyond all legal rules to charge man
with dishonesty in one Office, and in
vestigate his doings in another. We are
not here, even, to examine upon his in
! tegrity. 1 say he ought not to answer
the question.
ZANE (energetically-We don't want
the NJ arshal and his attorneys to con-
| duct this examination.
Powers with gusto)-Well, we are
going to conduct q portion oft.
ZANE-The receiver is making q
charge here-for what2 He can't gel
that sum for nothing. What does he
give? His time, his integrity as bust
ness man, and all. We want TO show
how much time and attention he gave
to the office as marshal; how much
time he gave to other things, and how
much money he got from them
We now propose to show that
outside of this Office he got
other pay, and we want 10 know
how much. We have a right to test
his powers, his memory, his integrity.
The witness is now on cross examina-
ton. Mr.. RaWlins stated on the direct
examination of the witness (before
Judge Sprague) that the church would
not contest the claim for $25, 600. They
have asked that a full examination be
made.
PoWERs-The witness is not on cross
examination. He is the witness of the
gentlemen who are posing as public
prosecutors, under a Misrepresentation.
The question as to how much money
he received from Remington, Johnson
q Co. was again put, and Mr.. Dyer, on
instructions from his attorney, refused
to answer.
POWERS UP AGAIN.
PoWERs-I want to state here, on be
half of my client, that ali such charges
and inuendoes are false and ground
| less. That -
ZANE But here, Judge, you are not
witness. If you are going to testify,
we want you sworn.
BAsKIN and ZANE INDUCED in short
consultation, when the examination
proceeded.
ZANE-What compensation did you
receive from the butchers who supplied
the Penitsntiary with meat?
Objected to, and answer refused.
ZANE-Well, didn't you raise soc
bushels of potatoes by convict labor
on Penitentiary grounds, and sell them
to the government at prices ranging
from 60c to 6213c per bushel when pota-
toes were selling in the market at 81
and 35c?
PowERs-I believe a similar charge
was made by THE HERALD against Mar
shall Ireland, and it was alleged by that
paper that some of the Penitentiary
products found their way to Judge
Zane's table. I will add, however, that
l never believed the story.
ZANE-(indignantly)-lt was never
made in that way.
POWERS with a chuckle)-Well, il
was made.
At this point the Examiner said
it was past the hour for recess, and
suggested an adjournment until Up. m.
