indirectly in any contract with the city.
A bargain was a contract and no coun-
sci would contend otherwise. Even had
these members sold for less than
other dealers, the rule would
have still been violated. They
IL was the custom. and other aldermen
had done so before them but all the
same the rule had been violated 1t was
to be hoped that this investigation he
said, would prevent such violations in
the future. As to whether the charges
had been higher than the market prices,
the evidence was contradictory. If only
one item was proven where a higher
price was charged the city than would
have been the case had there been a
request for bids it proved the case. He
claimed that the point was clearly proved
where horse was sold the city by a
partner of Alderman OBrien's. although
Alderman O'Brien was absent from the
city at the time. Alderman O'Brien, he
said, had sold the city four mules for
$75 each, which cost him from $3.50 to
$l25. Mr.. Wells, the vice chair
man, had refused to approve
the bill, and Alderman OBrien
had approved the bill himself What
could be more clearly proven? Mr. Lea
ken brought up the other instances where
Mr.. O'Brien's dealings with the city ap-
thing would not do, and should not be
allowed. he said. The rule should be
maintained. 1t had been openly and no
toriously violated. 1t would be we'll for
the city, if nothing else should result
from the investigation, that the rule
should be established and observed mere
after.
There was some discussion among the
aldermen as to whether they should
make I'm their verdict al OOce I'D
journ over to another day. II was then
2:3O o'clock. The suggestion of Mr.. My
ers that the members who were sitting
upon the case should adjourn to the
mayors room and make up their YER
dict was accepted
At o'clock the councilmen re-entered
the room. Mr.. Mills stated that the
board had gone very carefully over the
charges made by Mr. Guilmartin. The
finding of the board was read by Mr..
Denmark as follows:
The charges made by Mr. J. F. Gull
martin against his honor, the mayor, and
Aldermen Mcmillan and o Brien involve
a violation of Rule No. H. The parties
charged make admission in their written
answer which show that said rule has
been technically violated. and we
so find, but there has been
no proof showing any intention of
violating said rule or any other rule of
council and we find that there has been
no intentional violation by the parties
charged and there is no proof that the
city has sustained any loss or damage in
the premises.
Therefore be it resolved, That the Hon
John j. McDonough and Aldermen Nc
MILAN and O'Brien be and they are here
by completely exonerated from all of the
charges made against them, and each of
them"

COL. WAY GIVEN $4,000.
A Majority of the Jurors in Bis Favor
and the Others Game Over.

The sealed verdict in the Way insur-
ance case was opened yesterday morning
when the city court convened at 10 o'clock.
and it was found that the jury had given
the PLAINTIFF $4,000 which, as stated in yes
terdays Morning News was a sort of a
compromise among the jurors. as other
wise a mistrial would have been inevita-
ole.
The jury went out at us o'clock on We'd
nesday night and on the first ballot stood
for the plaintiff and for the defendant.
They were pretty well divided as to
amounts, but the plaintiffs jurors stood
strongly in his favor and not one of them
yielded until it was found necessary to
agree to the compromise in order to reach
a verdict al all.
After several more ballots, taken at in
tervals of half an hour or an hour, one of
the defendants jurors came over and the
count stood eight to four in the PLAINTIFF
favor Then two others came
over to the PLAINTIFFS side and
were willing to make conces-
sions. The remaining two, however
stuck it out until Thursday night when
they finally agreed to a compromise on
$4,000, this being S2,225 less than the total
amount sued for and $500 less than the
face value of the two policies combined.
Cots had been ordered for the jurors and
thsr supper had been furnished, and most
OF them had come to the conclusion that
they were there for a good 70 hours sitting.
on account of the fact that the trial Of
this case has already cost the state $3.50
or more for jurors pay and other costs in

that they would have been kept there
