vRoSA srAFP CORRESPONDENT OF THE reisuyrI
Albany, March 3l.-The Senate thieves had an.
other sorry time of it this afternoon. Mr. Cad.
"diaoer and Mr.. Stickney two more Bar Asso-
| clation lawyers. were on the stand; and when
'heir testimony was concluded, the hearing was
| adjourned until rext Monday afternoon WHY
this course was taken did not appear Possibly
1t was 10 give Mr. Delos McCurdy an oppor-
tunity to recover his wonted health The i'm
preston is general that an end will soon be had
10 the investigation farce that between now and.
Monday the thieves will conclude to force the
! report Hill wrote for them before he went away
| through the committee and the Legislature early
next week. 1t is not altogether certain that this
can be done. Certainly those members Of tho
joint committee who were solicitous about their
| reputation last week, and who compelled the
hearing to be extended beyond the time Hill had
fixed for it, have now in the face Of the evil
| dence taken, more need than ever to beware Of
| the thieves IL cannot be pretended, OF course,
| by any man who has common sense and common
honesty, that the testimony has done
| anything whatever except to expose
Judge Maynard's crime in all ito
enormity, and to show that the excuses he has
offered for it, instead of relieving him, render his
guilt the greater and palmer.
| The thieves naturally care nothing about this.
They will go on and make the report just rs Hill
prepared it, without caring a twopenny snap what
the evidence has been or might be. AS McCarren
said, in his frank speech the other night. I'VE all
know what the report will be. We know it will
sustain the action Of Judge Maynard, and We will
all vote for it on this side of the Senate. We
know that the action of the Democrats in this
| State last fall, or the men who were the agen0
of the party was nothing else than the attitude
OF a man who takes another by the throat and says
Give me the property which you unawfully possess
and which is mine We will give Judge Maynard
q certificate Of character
| This is what the thieves are going to 90, II tney
cam but after listening TO these seven bar Associa
| ton lawyers in every sense the leaders Oh 'ne
| bar OF the State and OF the Na'ioh'
after hearing them say that tnefe oas
bc no doubt that the action Of Judge Maynaro
,r.s a crime deliberately committed for the pur-
oo.a of seating a man in the State Senate whom
rho neonle by their votes defeated: after nearing
,h.m sav that the explanation Of Judge Maynard
makes his offence much worse, by showing is
elaboration and by convicting him OF having
entered into criminal conspiracy; al'er heaflne
them say that of the 500 lawyers presen. az o"e
