that the place would be his. Gottlieb said
that he met Green on different occasions
after the election and in each instance the
trustee assured him chat he could de-
pend on the promises which had been
made.
One day, continued Gottlieb, he met
MIR. Green and the newly elected Trustee
asked him to call at his Office. The wit
ness did so and MIR. Green said there was
to be meeting of the City Central Conn
mlttee, and after that he could tell what
would be done regarding appointments.
Inc next time the witness met him MIR.
Green said he had not promised witness
the position he desired outright. When he
qua say he would make the appointment
he thought he had the power to appoint
TWO chaln-gang guards. He found out,
though, that he could appoint only one.
Therefore he could not keep his agree
nlent with the witness.
GoTTLIEB'S WORK.
well, now, what did Mr.. Green want
you to do at the pols?" sked Mr.. Jones.
The witness did not eyince a DISPOSE
ton to answer the question fully. He said
that Mr.. Green wanted him TO look out
for his Interests and get all the votes he
could.
wei, what were you supposed to do
how were you 10 get these votes 2"
Mr.. Johnson objected strongly to this
as being leading question and the court
sustained the objection.
Your honor" said Mr.. Jones impa-
Eently, this man told me all about the
business between him and Mr.. Green at
the office, and l want linn to tell now
what he told me then"
The court ruled that it could not be
reached in that manner, and Mir. Jones
tried another tack.
Those precincts you worked IN for
FCYn -
voting precinct, were they?' asked Mr..
Jones'
'They were not"
Then what induced you to work at
those precincts?"
Mr.. johnson objected, and the objec-
tlon was sustained.
DIDN'T WORK BOTH SIDES.
Mr.. GottIieb was then turned over to
Attorney johnson for cross examination.
The witness said he was a Republican,
and always had been. He was delegate
to the convention which nominated MIR.
Green. He did not vote for MIR. Green at
the convention, Mr.. Frost being his
choice. de also voted at the primaries
and knew that there was pledge requir-
ing all Republicans to support the nom
lnees of the convention.
The witness was asked if he had not
gone to one GatIman and told him to
the Democratic candidate for Second
Trustee, had promised the witness posi-
ton III the water works, and had gone
back on his promise. Gottlieb denied
the conversation. He also denied that he
told City Engineer Boyd that Green had
gone back on his promise, and he in
tended 10 get even with him.
Mr.. Jones objected to this testimony.
Mr.. Johnson said he wanted to show
that Gottlieb claimed to be Republican.
but he had been working both sides for
an appointment-he would have sup
ported the Democratic candidate as well
as the Republican candidate. 1t made no
difference to him. The objection was
sustained, nevertheless.
NOT TO BE CARED FOR.
In answer to further questions Gott-
lieb said he had made statement to At
torney Jones regarding this case in II. T.
Devlin's office. He denied that in the
course Of that conversation he had re-
fused to tell what he knew unless he was
guaranteed a position in the city govern
ment in case Mr.. Green was ousted. He
denied further that there was any person
present at that conversation who guar
anteed that a position would be given
him should Green be ousted.
Ibid you not tell me out in the CORR
dor Of this Courthouse that you were
going to tell the truth in this case because
they had agreed to take care Of you 2"
asked Mr.. Johnson.
Il did mott simply told you that I
was going to tell the truth"
You didn't say the rest of it ?''
''Never said anything OF the kind"
Gottlieb was then excused, and John
Mullins called. Mr.. Mullins said he was
gardener by occupation. He knew Mr.
Green for ten years prior to the latter's
election. He denied that he ever had any
conversation with Mr.. Green in which
the latter promised to appoint him gard
ener at the Plaza.
did anybody else make such arrange
ments with your"
Mr.. Johnson objected.
Mr.. Jones said he proposed to show
that Green promised Mullins the position
by sending one of his representatives to
him. He would show this by the testi-
mony of others and by the actions of Mr..
Green on the board; that the latter had
told the other Trustees that he had prom
ised to vote for Mullins and wanted to
keep his word, but that the other MEM
bers should elect another man.
The objection was sustained, however,
the court remarking that Mr.. Jones had
not laid the proper foundation for such
testimony.
RECEIVED MONEY.
Mullins was Withdrawn from the stand.
and Joseph w. Bailey was sworn. The
witness testified that he was surveyor
in the employ of the city, and had been
such since the election of Mr.. Green. He
denied that he had had any contract with
MIR. Green, or that the latter had paid
him any money before the election. Wit
ness knew Mr.. Green, and after the lat
ter'S nomination he told Mr.. Green that
he would do all he could to elect him.
On election day he laid Off from the en-
ployment he was then engaged in, and
worked at the polls for Mr.. Green. On
election day Mr.. Green drove up to the
polls, and asked the witness how things
were getting along. After a short talk
Mr.. Green put his hand in his pocket and
gave the witness several dollarS-he did
not know how many-he thought it was
something like five or six dollars.
There were several other fellows
around at the time, said witness Bailey.
and they struck Mr.. Green for money
The witness told Green not to give them
any money as they were " no good -
" Boney" Shields and several others
asked the candidate for money.
TRUSTEE GREEN TESTiFIES.
''E. II. Green" called Mr.. Jones.
Mr.. Green looked surprised, but arose
from his seat beside Mr.. Johnson and
strobe to the witness-stand.
Alter taking the oath Mr.. Jones asked
the Trustee to state what contract existed
between himself and ii. +. Dillman and
Robert Barnett President and Secretary
of the Liquor Dealers Protective Asso-
ciatiou), with reference to his voting for a
low license, provided he received the
votes OF the members of the association.
Mr.. Johnson objected on the ground
that the question assumed that there was
a contract, and the objection was sus-
tanned.
Then Mr.. Jones asked the witness if he
had not entered into contract with the
gentlemen named, not to vote for a higher
iinnOr license If elected
