what money was paid in currency was
kept as such, and that received in checks,

agreement with banks as to the giving of
interest and did not make it a condition
for deposit that interest should be paid.
He lost so 900 by the deposit of funds in
tie First National bank of Chicago, which
he quietly made good 1t was a matter of
common n0tCrlety that banks paid the

moneys received thereupon by the state,
after which Ex-Governor Hoard vas placed
on the stand to testify in the Harshaw
ca,e He swore that during the time he
was governor and harsbaw state treasurer
the vaults in the treasury department were
very unsafe. He attended to the inspec-
ton OF tie treasury required by law, in
person. While governor the witness had
discussed the question Of investing state
funds 10 government bonds, bu' he could
not remember with whom. He thought
sucL investment would not be profitable
on account of the excessive premium on
such bonds and the probability that the
premium would decrease. 1t was his
recollection that there was a depreciation
Of government bonds while he was in
otice. He thought he would
not have approved an investment in such
bonds. The fact that state money was de
posted in banks came TO him as a matter
Of common knowledge. Any matters per-
tanning to the lOaning Of state trust funds
vas always talked over first with the treas

the governor had called attention to the
necessity Of legislation TO make tue invest

connection with testimony which he gave before the

day TO argue the his own behalf He had
previously moved to set the indictments aside on the
ground that the Jury not legally ipanelled
that jurors prejudiced against him. and that the
indictment for perjury founded testimony given
by himself as witness Regarding his argument on the
latter point to-day Judge Wallace said there was moth
ing in the records to show Bruner had testified against
himself or that the Grand Jury had founded an in
dictment his testimony. Distrot-Attorney. Barnes
and Acknowledgement Hart quoted authorities to sus-

impaneled and the Attorney General contend.d that
the state constitution expressly provided that in the
Investigation Of the legislative scandal the witness was
obliged TO testify. Bruner swOre 10 obey the
state constitution, and consequently had no right
10 refuse to testify before the Grand Jury or to claim
such right. Judge Wallace then denied the motion 10
ct the Indictments aside, and said he would hle q
