BRIDES PAID BY PRINTERS.
Big Money Said to Have Been
Sent to the Governors Office.
PLAINTIFFS TELL THEIR STORY
Sensational Testimony Given by the
Head of the Firm of Tracy.
Gibbs 6 Co.

MADISON, Wis, Dec 27.-The leading
plaintiffs in the Roster conspiracy suit
against Governor Peck ct al. were exam
ined before q court commissioner as ad-
verse witnesses by the attorneys for the
defendants to-day.
All three members of the printing firm
of Tracy, Gibbs & Co.. which advanced
the $4,000 paid the official roster people in
the Governors Office, were examined, but
the business of the concern in the matter
was done by the senior partner, W. A.
Tracy. and in his testimony alone is
brought out the details of secret printing
contracts.
Tracy said he first heard of the roster
contract about March l, when Private
Secretary Clark sent for him, told of the
roster job and showed him a sample OF the
Illinois roster, and wanted him to figure
on the first cost of similar book of about
2000 pages. Clark told him the Governor
had already figured on 1t as a printer and
knew what the cost was.
He also had figures from Chicago, but
would prefer to have the work done here,
even il it cost little more. The binding
would cost II cents in Chicago. but Tracy
was to figure it at 20 cents. Clark told
him $4,000 to 10000 sets would probably
be needed, but he should figure on %, 600
sets. and by CIark's given figures at 81 90
per volume there would be a profit of
about SCI, 600 on that number.
Tracy testified that on April 25 he paid
Clark $4,000 in the Government office.
George Dow, Clark. McFail and himself
were present when the payment was made.
On the day the contract was revoked
Tracy. and George and Roe Dow went to
the Governors Office 10 see Clark about
the matter.
Clark was busy, but requested them to
call in the afternoon. At that time Clark
announced that at the meeting in the
morning. at which Governor PECK, Senator
Villas, Senator Bashford and General
Dow were present, it was decided
TO revoke the contract. He assured them
they would get the money back in about
ten days and earnestly urged that they
keep quiet about it. They told him all
they wanted was TO gel their money back.

STRYBE HAD A RAZOR.
The Result of a Search of Desperate
Prisoners.

SACRAMENTO. Dec. 27.-The notorious Strybe
brothers, who received thirty years in Folsom
Slate prison for the murder OF old man Damon
about six years ago. were searched yesterday
IN the County JAIL where they have been con-
fined ever since their sentence. pending deci-
sion OF the Supreme Court on 4 motion for a
new trial. The Sheriff had received an intima-
ton that there were concealed weapons in the
jail, aud he issued an order that all prisoners
be searched twice week.
When IL came to searching Richard Strybe he
objected and resisted Deputy Sheriffs Foley
and johnson. Under Sheriff Rooney ana Dep
uty Sheriff Hendricks were called and took
hand IN the search. Strybe finally sub
mitted. Beneath the three shirts he had on
was found razor, held by buckskin string
which was tied around his neck. 1t is supposed
that one OF the other prisoners smuggled the
dangerous weapon Into the jail and gave 1t 10

TO PRIVATE LIFE.
w. F. Whittier Retires From the Oil
House.

The strange relations which for ten years
have existed between the members of the
big paint and oil house of Whittier, Fuller
& Co. have been laid at rest and peace and
harmony is the motto now. With the
closing Of the year, the old firm. which has
been in existence since 1868, without any
change in its name. will expire by Limitation.
For many months just what was TO become
of the big business has been a subject of Cos
sip in commercial circles. The partners con-
ferred with one another seldom, and then
only on business matters of the utmost
Importance. Not until yesterday morning
was there any definite arrangement. BY
its provisions W. Frank Whittier, the
senior member of the firm, retires to pri-
vaie life, selling his entire interest in the
business to William p. Fuller Jr., who will
hereafter conduct the business under the
name Of w. p. Fuller & Co.
just what the price paid Mr.. Whittier
for his interest is cannot be definitely
learned. Both members of the firm de-
cline to give the figures. but when asked if
the report that the amount paid was
$4,000, 600 both answered that it was some
what less but would not say it was
S1,000,00o less. Frederick n. Woods, who
has been the silent partner. also disposes
of his interest to Mr.. Fuller.
follows: w. Frank Whittier 80 per cent.
w. P. Fuller Jr. 37h per cent, Frederick
n. Woods 121s per cent.
The new firm of W. p. Fuller 81 Co. will
be composed entirely of members of the
family. participants in the Fuller estate
who have reached majority. 1t will be
COMPRISED of w. p. Fuller. Mrs. Margaret
Ii. Fuller, Miss Ella Fuller and Miss
Bertha Fuller. AS to whether the firm
VIII incorporate or continue as It always
was. flrm, has not been determined, but
as most OF the new members favor incor-
poratlOn it is more than probable that
this change will be made.
The new deal includes, as we'll as the
San Francisco house, the branch houses in
Oakland, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Port
land aud Seattle. All day yesterday the
attorneys for both parties were engaged
IN drawing uD papers, making out trans
fers aud the attendant business thereto.
The negotiations which led to the peace
ful winding up OF the business of the
second largest house of its kind in the
world were begun about ten months ago.
AT that time a proposition to sell out his
interest to Mr.. Fuller was made by Mr..
Whittier. For several months it hung fire,
dragging along without receiving much
further attention from either member of
the firm. Not until Mr.. Fuller's return
from Europe on November 10 last were de-
cided steps taken in the matter. The end
of the year was drawing close TO hand,
and some arrangements had 10 be made.
Mr. Whittier renewed his proposition.

shape the matter rested until about q week
