fore court convened this morning u
great crowd had gathered in the corri-
dors Of tho court house anxious to hear
tho Quay Post cksuit, but when tho
doors were opened they were not adj
mitted, and hundreds were disappoint-
cd. During the day developments were
interesting, and there were several
sensations. Tho defense stubbornly
contested every inch OF ground and
frequently interposed objections to the
proceedings, or'dGmandcd decision on
an intricate point OF law. After two or
three unimportant witnesses hnd been
examined, Gen. James W. Latta, clerk
OF the court. was called and presented
the original records OF tho Bardsley
| case
Senator Quay then took tho stand and
said that nc was not personally ac-
Quaintcd with John Bardsley, and never
had any business relations with him cx-
copt in his (Quay'sl public capacity as
state treasurer. There was not word
OF truth in the article in tho Post.
These answers were made TO ques-
tions propoundcd by the plaintiffs
counsel, and Attorney McCooE objected
to the witness being led. Mr.. Quay was
then turned over to him for cross
examination rs follows:
"Wern't you intimate with Philadel-
phia o!licCholdcrs while state treas
urer"
"Not necessarily"
NOTHING TO DO WITH BARDsLEY.
"Wcrn't you largely interested and
taking active interest in politics and
the election oi the state treasurers who
placed the money in Bardslcy's hands ?"
Objected to, but not sustained.
Answcr-"I did not"
Mr.. Quay, is it not true as an
nounced in the Post that you were con-
ducting the campaign OF Morrison and
Grcgg?'
at is not truc?'
'One OF the gentlemen YOU were
assisting to elect would have controlled
the funds in Bardslcy's hands, and was
the person to whom Burdsley would
have to account?"
Objected to rs irrelevant, and not
| ross-emamination. .s-'7-.''
Judge Porter-"It might have been
true that he had charge OF the Morri-
son campaign, but what has that TO do
with the direct charge that he received
money from Bardsley, the direct pro-
ceeds Of theft? The objection is sus-
tained."
Senator Quay then denied that he
received from John Bardslcy SS,S7T7. He
acknowledged to receiving certificate
| OF deposit from David Martin.
Mr.. McCool-"That statement in the
article was truc?"
Senator Quay-"It is" He would not
undertake to say that the article in the
paper that money was also given to
Livsey was untrue.
"Do you undertake to say that the
money you received from Bardsley was
not stolen?"
Objected to, and objection sustained.
"Iou saw Bardslcy's name on that
certiiicatc?"
NEVER OWNED TIE CERTIFICATE.
"Bardsley never owned the certiii-
cate"
"You saw the ccrtifcate?"
II did. l mailed it from Washington
to Beaver"
Are YOU sure you never had any
dealings with Mr.. Bardsloy?n
81 never did,"
"Wcre you not endorscr OF three
notes for $4,000 endorsed by J. o.
Brown and William Finn and cashcd
by Bardsley in the Keystone bank?"
"No."
Ex-Collector Martin, OF PHILADELPHIA,
was examined. His testimony related
to the Quay loan and Bardsloy certiii-
cate and did not materially differ from
that given in the Beaver trial.
Senator Charles A. Porter, Chairman
Andrews, OF the Republican state COM
mittec, and John G. Devinc, formerly
probate note clerk OF the Keystone
bank, also repeated their testimony as
given in the Star suit.
The prosecution here. rested and At
torney McCook addressed the jury for
the defense.
