curved again.

Iy irquiFing if lobbying was not part Of
bis occupst'on, ard witness replied that
that wss the general understanding.
Sands statement impressed the witness
with the genuineness of the ballot box pa
per, snd when he gave the ballot box
paper to Amos Smith to carry to Halstead,
he told him Of the talk with Sands.
Gov. Foraker soon after retumed the
stand for the purpose Of making an ex-
plauation of matters which bad baen
spoken OF in the course of the invest.
cation. Among other things which had
impressed the Governor with the genuine
ness OF The ballot box paper, wss the
difference between the Campbell and he
Hoar ballot-box bills. The Camposll
bill directs the Attorney General to pur-
chase O particular box, while Senator
HoaI's bill provides for commission TO
* .nine all ballot boxes and report in the
best. There WAS a wide difference be-
tween the two boxes, and it impre ssed
him the more because Of
WHAT he HAD HEARD
about business behind the bill" i" as it hsd
been expressed.
AS to bis delay iu rot mentioning Had
den's name in his public explanations,
preceding his appearance on the witness
stand, Governor Foraker said that Hadden
had given him the paper in confidential
wAy withoat having an expectation that it
would be necessary to use the usme. Had
den had said that he might use his name
if compelled to.
Witness said that had he no. met Hal
stead on the train he should have made
40 use Of the paper until after the election,
il at all.
Witness never ssid he would use the
pIpsr on ButteTworth. The truth was
that 20 man was ever mOIe particular than
himself not to say anything about Butter
worth. They had been friends for years
Governor Foraker then denied the in-
situations which had been made sgainst
him of recommending two men for the
same Office
Gov. Foraker denounced Woods as a no
torious forger and periurer, and declared
that be had counted seventy nine unquali-
fed and unmitigsted falsehoods in his
printed testimony. Continuing, he said
the e fair had been TO him very bitter ex-
periencs. He would think to the
DAY OF HIS DEATH
that behind this there was some sort OF
paper but he did not want any man to
imagine that he asserted that any one
whose name Was on that forged paper was
90 the paper, he believed to have existed.
de would hunt for the paper uttil HE
death.
Wood then again took the stand and
went on to declare that he understood the
papsr,was never to leave FOrakeT's hand,
but was TO be used as bluff.
Mr.. TurneT-Now, after all you know
nothing of any bal.O.bOx.
