ticians laugh 1t was followed by an
explanation from Mr. Martin of the manner
in which Bardsley's name happened to be
brought into use. His testimony contained
no further statements than have been
published.
W. H. Andrews, ex-State Chairman OF
the Republican Committee, and Charles A
Porter, Chairman of the City Committee,
corroborated Mr. Martins testimony. The
latter was asked by Attorney Daugherty:
"Why didn't you draw on Bardsley?"
81, don't know" replied the witness in-
differently, and when urged added, 81 didn't
know him so well then as now.
''Wasn't he liberal?'

'eWeIl, he was like all oficeholders,
after they get offices, they are not so
liberal"
''Wasn't he able?"
you'll have to ask him." replied the
witness.
Robert NJ Yardlev, Receiver of the Key
stone Bank, identified the check carried by
Martin and explained all the proceedings
except how the certificate of deposit fell
into the hands of the wicked Democrats.
In private conversation he afterward gave
it as his opinion that it was stolen.
Senator Quay was called next, and every
body crowded forward to see him. When
called upon to give his testimony he told
the story of his connection with the note
and check in slow, straightforward, de-
liberste way, and when asked by Mr..
Buchanan if the publication in the Star con-
Meeting him with the "Gigantic Bardsley
Stesl'' was true, he answered.:
at is not"
Ibid YOU know Bardsley?"
81 would have known him if had met
him on the street, but 1 had no acquaint-
ance with him, replied the Senator.
In reply to query from Mr.. Daugherty
he said he had complained to the Controller
of the Currency, because the certificate had
been stolen, for the reason that it was in
the custody of the United States Bank, and
the Controller had no right to let it out.
He complained because it had been given to
the Democratic State Committee to be
photographed and Autographed and pub
lished broadcast over the country in Demo-
cratic papers
Later Editorials Shown In Defense.
A lively squabble was started among the
attorneys by Attorney Buchanan offering as
evidence editorials appearing in the Star
since the libel suit was entered. The prose-
cution claimed that with this evidence they
could prove malice. Judge Wickham de-

the editorials was:
"We would fain believe Mr.. Quay an
honest man, if we did not have to become
blind idiots to do so''
Another lengthy editorial, published JAN
uary IL, describes the Senator as ''the
greatest living exponent and teacher of the
peculiar and saving gospel of addition,
division and silence so successfully prac-
ticed in Philadelphia.
In objeeting to admitting these editorials
Mr.. Daugherty said: 'This. helps Quay.
If you would let him alone Quay would not
be better known than his poor neighbors,
but it's the publication of all these things
in the papers that help him.. -
Attorney Ritchie opened the case for the
defense and stated that there was no malice
in the publication. The case will be taken
up at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The trial is the absorbing topic of CONVEX
sation in Beaver and it is the general
opinion that Senator Quay will win. In
case the defendants are found guilty it is
probable that sentence will be suspended.
