GRANVILLE CONTINUES HIS STORY


He Tells How the TalIy.sheets Were
Changed and Identities Them.
Special Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 4.-1n the Criminal Court
this morning Judge Pugh overruled the objection
OF the defense made yesterday when Granville
was on the stand giving his testimony OF the work
done on the sheets OF the ninth ward The prose-
cution brought in this testimony for the purpose
OF establishing conspiracy on the part of Mont
gomery, Tom Cogan, Allen o. Myers. and others to
deIeat the will OF the people by changing the
taly-sheets. Granville was again placed upon
the stand and testified that the tally sheets were
taken TO DIR. Montsomerys ofhce, where
THE SHEETS WERE TREATED WITH ACID
and the figures were obterated. Witness said
that he protested against the work, but was over
ruled and ordered TO shorten up the votes OF the
republican candidates. After having taken out
tallies from Huling witness became nervous and
refused to proceed further with the work, although
threatened. AT 9 O'Clock in the morning Fred
came and got the tally sheets, Montgomery telling
him TO take them back, as they could do nothing
with them that night. the "a! y-sneets were
had been done In bungling manner, and the yell
low marks made by the acid could readily be seen
ON Sunday, the day before the forgery was dis
covered witness stated that in the evening nearly
all the democratic candidates were IN conference,
Montgomery was fitting In and out OF the Office:
About 1880 Montgomery came In, accompanied
by stranger, who, the witness has since learned,
was Mr.. Chas. T.. Blackburn. That night, about
midnight, Allen o. Myers came into Granville
office, and, handing him a blank POLLOCK. said !:
"Here, take this out To Bob MOutgomery's house.
nave hack down In the alley" Myers explained TO
witness that he had decided upon q new plan
which was TO make an entirely new sheet, and TO
give the republicans the democratic votes and the
democrats the republican votes This would
render 1t unnecessary to make any changes IN
figures. Witness then went TO Montgomery 8 resi-
dence with the sheet, but the defendant was TOO
late TO use II. Witness saw Blackburn IN Mont
gomery's room at work upon a large sheet Of
Paper with pen In hand.
At noon court adjourned until 10 O'Clock Monday

There Is an active scramble for the wardenship
OF the District jail. held now by Gen. CROKER. As
the chief justice Of the District Supreme Court Is
an Ohio man, many greedy applications for the
position have come from that state. The members
of the court agree, however, that the office should
go to a District man. The appointment is not
court. In 1864 the appointment OF the warden
was left with the President Four years later II
was given to the to elect. There is consider
able patronage attached to the ofce, and there is
strong rivalry for the appointment. Gen. Croker
