business Was settled. The Times
note OF S552 vas made payable to d.
Sullivan & co. was paid half Of the
amount, 1925, by Mr.. Cooper. 1 have
| the accounts on record that we're sent
to me from the cashiers office. This
account OF NINE was made up by the
auditor, with the cashier. My
account ran from July Ia, 1890
TO March Slst, 1891. The other
from March 8, 1891, to June /, 1891,
which showed S9,774 81. My balance,
as sho WI now on the books, is S., 4S4
so. The balance shown on the paper
prod by Mr.. Yoskum shows my
account to be ST., SOS ~, about 81, 900
more than the books. That was not
the paper with my accounts. My
settlement with Mr.. Yoskum was
made in May about The Times and
Burnss store accounts, 81 800,
$3.50 and $1,000, was drawn on
The Times account November 3.
This matter was adjusted sometime
in May 1891, what precipitated the
settlement was this; Mr.. II. K. Yer
ner, was told by either Mr.. Yoakum,
Mr.. Cooper or Mr.. Norton, had offered
$4,000 for the Times on our stock,
which was more than the controlling
stock. When heard OF the offer
wanted to sell. spoke to Mr.. Yoa-
kun about the matter and he said he
did not want to. That VerOr was not
friendly to the receivership and
they would use the paper to injure
the receivership; that Denmann was
behind the scheme. Yoakum said
that he was working to get Frank
Grice of the Express and T. B. John
son of the LIGHT to take it; that Mr..
Grice had offered to have it
merged in the Express while
he would also take stock In
the LIGHT. My settlement was
made and [ took the Burns store.
MIR. Mcnamara continues: "He
New York when he brought the
voucher to me that l would not sign
it, and Yoskum said that as Reagan
Houston was his attorney in fact that
he would take it to him and have him
sign it. Lott said he would repudiate
the authority. L spoke to Yoakum
about the matter and he said, You
and Lott never could get along and
don't pay any attention to what he
says. Il don't know of any monies paid.
The reason that / know something
about the Kennedy voucher. is that in
July Mr. Lott and / had a falling out.
The information that L received was
that he had contributed to the cleo
ton about $4,000 He said he had
and told him it was d--n !ie."
Mr.. Franklin put in an objection
here and Mr.. Newton said that he
proposed proving that it was all
put up testimony and that
he had not contributed cent
paid out on the election except what
ne put out of his pocket. never got
any portion of the $1,000.
When Cooper was arrested for en-
bezzlement he told me he could show
receipts for all of the money, l told
h m to bring me the receipts. He
brought me q receipt for S4 900 paid to
J J. Stevens, he also had Times re
ceipts for 81, 900 or 81 800. He said he
had receipt for $1,000 which he
could not find. He brought it to me
later.
At this juncture DR.. Amos Graves
entered the room and he was placed
on the stand by Mr.. Newton. He was
asked about the Niles affidavit, and
said: II have read the affidavit. l
went with Niles to Macnamara's
house, and then to the club. Judge
KING talked in Yoakum's favor all
through the conversation. l WAS on
the bond and objected to Yoakum's
leaving at the time of the strike,

! away. l wanted to pay the differ.

This closed DR.. Groves testimony and

| stand.
THE first information 1 had Of the
shortage was from Mr.. Nicholson

then sent for Mr.. Cooper and related
to him the disclosures. He said that
he had YOakum's receipts. told him
that King did not blame HOakum but
/ did. That part about the petition
