MADDEN TELLS OF HIS PAYMENTS
TO WOODS WIFE.

The Money Given Her On ADVICE OF
DR.. Graydon, Who Was Watching
the Campaign in That County-The
Refusal to Go to Woods Rescue
When Under Arrest.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE cross
examination Of Lewis Haddea was con-
tinued this morning before the House COM
mittee investigating the ballot-box forgery.
To MIR. Grosvenor the witness admitted that
he paid money to Mrs. Wood about the
middle of last October. Wood wrote that
he was engaged in looking up gun con-
tract, and that he had seen Editor Mclean,
who was anxious that Editor Halstead
should not be elected senator. He asked for
500 for himself and $50 for his wife,
saying that he could not reach ''his
royal highness," who was travelling
over the state The witness did not feel
called upon to give the money and did not
reply Then Mrs. Wood came to his house
and give him a letter from Wood, enclosed
in a letter to herself. He told Mrs. Wood
he would consider the matter. The next
morning he showed the letter to Dr. Gray
don, saying he did not feel like taking
the responsibility himself. DIR. Graydon
lid he had better give her the money, and
handed HIM $3.50, which he gave to Mrs.
Wood.
GRAYDON'S PART IN THE CAMPAIGN.
DR.. Graydon was looking after the in
terests of the party in Hamilton county.
but was not a member of the committee.
He didn't tell DR.. Graydon about Tom
Campbell's original paper, and couldn't tell
now why he didn't tell him-perhaps be-
cause he was not thoroughly awakened the
night he was called out of bed to see Editor
Halstead. The witness did not see the head
OF CampbelPs paper, and Campbell
did not say there were any
words except the names upon 1T.
He did not then tell Gov. Foraker
that there was contract in existence, but
told him he believed there was written
evidence. After seeing the paper he had
questioned Wood about it, Asked why he
had told the governor that the fac simiIe
resembled the paper he had seen in Mr..
Campbells hands, the witness said it was
because he recognized some of the names he
had seen on Mr.. CampbelIs. Some DAYS
after the first payment to Mrs. Wood she
called at his house and left word for him to
come to her house.
SHE GOT MORE MONEY.
He went to see DR.. Graydon and told him
he presumed she wanted money. 1t was
near the close of the campaign, and DR..
Grayd9n gave him $50 for Mrs. Wood. The
witness went to her house, saw Woods let
ter and gave her the money. He told her he
was not national bank and she must not
call for more financial assis ance. She
showed him letter from I. G.. Campbell,
written in angry tone, in answer to some
thing sho had written about "pecple living
in glass houses" The witness had
told Mr. KurtZ about the nav
ment of the $3.50. He believed that
Dr. Graydon reimbursed himself out
of the campaign fund. On the night of
Woods arrest Mrs. Wood called with her
son upon the witness about midnight) and
said Wood wanted to see him at the station.
He insisted on his coming and said Il. C.
Campbell had man there lat the station
house, who promised Wood that ne would
set him free if he would give up certain
letters; that Wood did not want to do this
and wanted to consult with the witness.
MADDEN REFUSED TO GO.
The witness refused to 90 after she had
appealed in vain for money. The next dav
he saw DR.. Graydon, who told him ID use
his own Judgment, that it was a matter of
giving IG away that the campaign was
over, and that they were not responsible
for Woods trouble. That night Woods
son came to his house; he was IN great dis
tress aDouT his fathers arrest and his moth
er's worry and lack of money. He asked
for money, saying his mother
had no place to so and that his
mother would not bother him
again. He felt a great deal of sympathy
for the boy, gave him $40, and, to comfort
him, said that his father would probably be
soon out of Jail. DR.. Graydon paid the
witness $40 the next day. He told Gov.
Foraker all about this on Jan. 8, and be-
lieved, but was not sure, that he had spoken
to Mr.. Kurtz about it. He had never paid
money to Charles Blackburn or any one
else to go on Woods bond.
CONSTRAINED BY FORAKER.
The cross-examInation was taken up by
Gov. Foraker, who put questions intended
to show the witnesses good character and
disclose various public offices he held. He
said that Gov. Foraker and MIR. Kurtz did
not know anything of the payments to Mrs
Wood until Jan. s. To Mr. Turner the
witness said he knew nothing connecting
Messrs. Butterworth, Mckinley, Sherman,
or the other gentlemen named with those fell
onious transactions.
Mr.. Turner-And out of that CONVEX a.
ton with Campbell, and Woods story this
whole thing has proceededs
The Witless-I don't know; it looks that
way.
