BUTTE. July 25.-Richard Herman. the
witness who has figured 30 prominently In
thed isbarment ease, was again put on the
stand this morning. Herman q some
what improved under his close confine-
ment and appeared with q paler tint on
his nose than ut any previous time during
the investigation. Herman sober was.
however, scarcely more satisfactory than
Herman drunk. Attorney Haldorn fired
questions at him the greater part OF the
morning without gaining very much evil
dence. The following will give mn idea Of
the condition of Herman's mind while on
the stand.
He said he received some money from
an unknown party in Forbis' office. When
asked II he knew Mr.. O'Donnel by sight
at the time he n i'm Forbis' office. he re-
piled that he knew 1000 men. After some
disciplinary talk from Attorney Haldorn
the witness admitted not knowing ONDon-
nell at the time. He could not be sure
IL he remembered the color of the mans
clothes. the witness Numbered, "No."
This MIR. Cation commented on as "a singu-
larry satisfactory reply.
"Did you not swear TINS morning.
began Attorney Haldorn.
II didn't swear 4 all this morning."
roared the witness
ibid you not swear that you had never
seen O'Donnel before signing this afii-
davit?"
al didn't swear at all this morning."
The counsel for the defense could do
tention to questions, claiming not 10 re-
membe before a question could be fairly
put.
When II o'clock came Attorney Haldorn
finally released him. Just at the point OF
adjournment the Ill feeling between At
torneys OfDonnel and Haldorn again
came out strongly when, after giving him
Instructions regarding the signing OF ALL
davits, Referee Cation inquired who was
TO pay the witness. MIR. Haldorn was sure
he was not going to do so. The witness,
he said, was cited on the prosecution and
he would have To go To Mr.. o'Donnel Tor
his pay.
Mr.. Cation thought the witness ought to
be paid, and would pay him himself IL
necessary.
Mr.. O'Donnel SAID that he was through
with the witness yesterday, but MIR. Hal
dorm had brought him In OF a writ of at
tachment.
Mr.. Cation held that Attorney Haldorn
had a right To do this, and SO il was under
TODD that the witness should look to Mr..
Don Tor his pay.
Owing to he citation OF Attorney Hal
dorm by Attorney OfDonnel before the dis
trict court, the investigation was not re-
sumed until 2:D p. m. Then "a new point
in the complaint was entered upon and
Jerome Colewell was sworn. He had
been injured in 1889 by the a
motor car. He had been taken to
the hospital, and was there Wis.,
tied by Mr.. Haldorn, who came
10 him as the representative of the Butte
Street Railway company. Mr.. Haldorn
made him an offer of 81 900 and his ex-
penses with n ticket To San Francisco il
he would get out of town. On December
4, 1Ss9, Inc sent for Charles O'Donnel to
come To the hospital and then employed
him as his attorney against the Butte
Railway company. About I o'clock in the
same afternoon, Haldorn the company's
attorney came in and made him the same
offer as above. Haldorn said IL he would
not accept that, the company would never
pay him one dollar beyond his expenses.
The money they would pay him on the
train. Haldorn. he said, told him that the
reason why he wantcd him to go TO Frisco
was so h he could not testify against the
company In the cases that were coming up.
Finally he concluded TO accept Haldorn's
offer i'm order to pay his debts off. He
