New YORK. May lin the Northern
Pacific investigation today permission
was given G. w. Wetmorc, president Of
the North American company, to appear
as counsel for Edward Fades, secretary
OF the Rocky Fork and Cooke City
company. Fades produced the bo oks Of
the Oregon Transcontincntal line. which
were put in evidence. The bc Jks showed
that when the Chicago and Northern
Pacifice issued bonds for the purchase of
various properties, the Oregon Transcon-
tinental line advanced it seven or eight
millions and sold mcst of the bonds at
30 cents on the dollar and received a
commission Of three per cent. The
minutes Of the meeting Of the Oregon
Transcontinental directors on JAM Is,
1890, created sensation, as they showed
the plan OF leasing the Chicago and
Northern Pacific to the Northern Pacific
was fully understood before the forma-
tion Of the former, and it was formed
with the intention OF 30 leasing, through
a lease of the Wisconsin Central. This
has always been denied. Tie twenty
million dollars OF bonds of the Chicago
and Northern Pacific sold at nine p
cent, should have brought SlS,OOO,CO0
but only about S9,C00,0C0 appeared on
the books as received, and no record of
what the purchaser paid. "Mr. Eades,"
said Mr. Petit, "on tho list of sub
scribers to these bonds | find sub
scription Of over Si,OC0,CC0, by the
Deutcher bank, j. II. S. Stern, Henry
Willard and associates. Was this sub
scription ever paid?" III don't know"
replied Fades. 81 suppose it formed
part of tho lump credited to Lease"
"Have you nothing to show that 1t was
received?' mot here" eaid Eadee, "the
check book may show" "Very WE'LL" re-
piled Pcttit. "Now here is the subscrip-
tion of G. l.. Colby for himself, Mr.. Rock
fellow, Mr.. Hoyt, Mr.. Trever, Mr.. Abbott
and Mr.. Colgate for S7,000,Oc0. Have
you anything to show that this sum was
ever paid?" Nothing" replied the wit
ness, "unless the check book does it."
"But my dear sir" said Petit, "you did
not receive millions without making a
record OF where they came from" swell,
thoy came from subscribers to bonds"
said Fades, "But there is no record of
