BECEIvED MONEY FROM MADDEN
Daring her husbands absence Hidden
called. That was on Oct 81. She had re-
csived letter from her husband telling her
to call upon Hadlen for money, ami she did
50. He was not at home, 50 she Mrs
Wood left word for him 70 call at her
house, and he did so. She presented letter
with an inclosed note to HaIden, who read
it and said it called for $50. which he paid
her at once. He then advised her to put
ali such letters in the fire, and burned his
no'e. She had saved the letter from her
husband, however, and produced it. Mr..
Grosvenor read it as follows:
WASHINGTON. ID. C., Oct. 10. 1899

PAYMENT OF THE MONEY.
All VI RohCliDl dNhSNt lbI lull utlultS ABOUT
the payment of the money to her by Had
den. The witness replied that she had re-
celved about Oct 1907 II $50 from Hadden
at his office, 800 of which was for her hus-
band and $50 for herself. She had asked
MADDEN how to remit to Wood, but he told
her to use her own Judgment. Then there
was payment of $50 made at her house.
and again she received $40 from him the
night Of Woods arrest. He had told
her than that ha would hox 20 fol-a H.
money out of his own pocket. Hadden tod
her they would see that Wood was taken
care Of; that his arrest was only political
affair, and that he would be given perma-
nent employment He hardly thought he
could get the smoke inspectorship, but still
he would be taken care of whether Gov.
Foraker was elected or not. Hidden was
always afraid some one would see him
talking to her, and wanted her to say moth
ing about II when he called at her house.
FORAKER ALLEGES IGNORANCE.
Gov. Foraker said that he knew nothing
except in the most general way about the
payments made to Mrs. Wood by Hadden.
aud that MADDEN could tell his story when
he was recalled.
After the recess Robert j. Wood, a lad of
ID Years, and son of X. g. Wood, produced
the stock ook of the ballot box company.
tie said that in November last, when his
lduuer was unuer arrest, ne mad gone to see
Hadden by his mothers order. He was
with his sister. Hadden made her stand
out in the hall while he took the witness
into the sitting room. The witness asked
for money and Haddsn gave him $40 from
his own pocket, as he said, and told him
that perhaps his father would be home that
night.
STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY.
Mr. Grosvenor next took up the stock
book and read stubs to show the persons
to whom certificates of stock had been
issued. From these stubs it appeared that
the larger part of the stock was
held by Wood and his wife, and
the other stockholders whose names
have been mentioned in this case.
were Charles A. Lehman, S. s. Davis, Ed
ward Hall, and I. c. Campbell.
Alexander Game of the Ohio state audit
or'S office testified to a conversation on a
train with Gov. Foraker, Sept. 81. Other
persons were present, and they were talking
politics, and Gov. Foraker said tina ii
Senator Sherman aud Congressman McKin-
ley did not let up on him he had something
i'll his desk that would ruin Them He did
not know what the governor referred to,
and the matter passed off.
Democratic papers were filled with SEN
sational articles to the effect that Gov. For
aker was not receiving the support of the
