| Piled II there was any reward he did not
know anything about IT,
w. O. Frady, the man who made the
much-talked-of affidavit, was next sworn.
He said he was from Schuyler, n. c"
seven miles from Asheville, and that he
he was here on March % last, at which
time he was robbed of $50. He said he
didn't know then who robbed him because
| he was drunk, but thought George Taller
did IT, as Taller was in a hack with him.
he said he offered reward of $40 for the
arrest of the man who robbed him. and
that Dallas took him to Detective Morgan
who went out to find the party Detective
Morgan, he said. came back later and
stated that he had the man wanted, and
desired Frady to go and identity him.
Frady said he was taken to the barracks,
where the man was identified, and he then
paid Dallas $40. He said the detective
asked him how much he was TO get, and
he offered him So. Morgan he said,
wanted to know why he should not have
as much as Dallas, whereupon he gave
him $40. The hackman, he said, asked
for his share, and he gave him 81. They
seemed to think" he said, that / was
mada Of money"
Officer Nose Lilienthal said that Frady
had been to see him about the robbery,
and then told the story of the making Of
the affidavit at Mr.. O'ConnOr's office.
Detective Morgan made his statement,
he having no witnesses that he desired to
introduce. He said that the witnesses
who testified as to having seen him In
Golden place where gambling was going
on before him had lied. He said he had
never seen any gambling there, and had
only gone there for the purpose of seeing
the spoilers and men who were working
for him. He stated that Detectives Kav-
anaugh and Bossell had trumped up these
charges against him, and that they were
at all times trying to injure him in every
way they could. He said he did not con-
slider 1t his duty to report every violation
Of the law that he saw; that he was
merely the special bailiff employed in the
office of the solicitor general to work up
cases which were on trial, but that If he
saw any fragrant violation of the law he
would certainly report it.
He went on to say that he knew the
reason why the two detectives had made
the attack on him, but Mr.. duBignon
told him not to bother about giving rea-
sons, He denied Frady's story with the
exception that he stated he had received
the $40, and said he had a right to 1t, as
and paid his expenses in catching Grim
inals out of his own pocket. When man
made private contract with him to do
private work he considered that he had a
right to collect for it. He attacked Frady's
character in various ways, showing that
he had been wanted by the authorities of
the law for some offense he committed
while here.
Sallie Holmes, colored, called for the
prosecution, rather went back on that
side of the case; that is, if she was looked
on as a witness for the prosecution, as she
stated that Frady had told her he ex-
pected to get $500 from Detective Morgan
ty coming down here as hush money,
and when he got it that he would take
her off travelling. She told several other
stories about Frady that looked a little
bad for him.
Afer hearing all the testimony, the
judges took the case under advisement
and reserved their decision. 1t will prob
ably be rendered when Solicitor General
Fraser returns to the city. He did not
appear at the hearing, as he was called
away to Liberty county on important
business, but he left word that he did
not desire that the hearing be postponed.
He is expected back tomorrow or next
day.
