 Attorney Ely was the next speaker He argued In behalf of Clerk Bailey and spoke in part as follows: We in- sisted on this investigation. They would have left the matter drop. There are always people In q ycommunI.y like this who In their own sels-sutilciency and pharasaical perfection. believe charges like these. Now mark that of the ten complaints. which have no foundation. in fact. Bailey had no rec ord on his books. . Nor could 1t be proven that Bailey gave the complaints to Swnyne. What would Swayne do In this matter anyway. if he were an honest man? Here Ia all this talk since April. Wouldn't he have come before you gentlemen? Would he have come to the mayor and said tkat Bailey was trying to get an interest In pigs and making up fictitious tales Now I say that . man like Bailey who has lived his life among you here and has led an unblemished life, would not sell himself out for $15. If Swayne gave Bailey that money on June :, between 3 and 3:30 p. m., the story is false. be- caus Bailey left In the morning. If Swayne is false in one thing, he is false in all. If he did not see Bailey on May 23. the whole story is false al l 1t was manifestly proven here that Bailey did not see Swayne that morn ing. The testimony of Inspec- tors Mix and Jackson and At torney Hoadley shows this con- clusively. Bailey's story which he told you Is the same he has told you from the first. But Swayne first tes- tified that he gave Bailey the money to keep quiet. Last night he testified that he gave the money to catch Bailey for the purpose of exposing him, and 1t seems that complaints came in no diminished number after the time that Swayne says he paid Bailey the money for suppressing false com plaints.
 Attorney Hamilton then made the closing argument. He said in part: It is said that Swayne does not tell his story alike to the newspaper reporter and here before you gentlemen. Now, ooy eAuk oiy AAoil lhdl kCAi5 lllS 6lOty parrot-like time after time is a liar. No two men will tell the same story of the same events. Neither does a man tell story twice exactly alike. The defense says that Bailey might have spent the S5 if he considered that the money belonged to him. How do We know that that $ bill is the same one? We do not know the number nor the bank it was drawn Oh.
 It is said that there were motives on the part of Swayne. I say that he had every motive in the world to keep the friendship of these men. I say that these men are like hundreds of others who have yielded to temptation. The defense have held up to " the respect ability of Dr. Wright and Clerk Bailey. Now, say, that is. -nos defense Our prisons are full of respectable prison CTS. We'll, they say that Swayne Is a stranger ask you. gentlemen, Is 1t any defense to offer? Is it any crime to be a stranger? shall not denounce pr. Wright and Clerk Bailey as black legs. They have simply been. tempted little beyond what they could bear, and stepped aside from the strict path of rectitade and <done what they ought not to have done. Thanking you gen. tlemen for your courtesy, I leave the case in your hands.
 Mayor Sargent said that the only expense of the investigation which would be paid by the city would be the cost of subpoenaing and the stenogra- phers' bills. This case was not similar to the Waldron case, where the clerk of the board of public works was im- peached by city officials, so that the lawyers fees would not come out of the city.
