pacify him.
CHASE ACCEPTED.
But you accepted it for them, didn'tyou?"
asked Mr.. Birney. Chase admitted that
he had.
On another occasion Chase described how
at the interview with Taylor he had
charged him 10 his face that he made I'M
proper proposals to a female member OF
Rev. Mr. Giyens' church, referring to his
insult TO Mrs Hill; that he had tried TO pull
a woman into his Office, and that he made
an insulting remark concerning the per-
son of a certain young woman.
Taylor" said Chase. Laughed and re-
piled Well Chase, none of us are per-
rect " Chase then said, Taylor, you
are a grand scoundrel "At this Taylor
only laughed. 1t was result of this inter
view, which was brought about by Ast-
wood, that Taylor reinstated MIS-. Hen
deTson and agreed to give him another ap-
pointment in about ten days, saying that
Chase should have full control OF these
places. and promising to get some places
in the Government Printing Office for him.
After Chase had made these statements
Ar. Birney led him a long road around
through various matters bearing on the
case. He brought him back 10 the time
in the latter part of September last, when
be was on friendly terms with Taylor.
You We're on good terms with Taylor"
said Mr. Birney, when you called on Sep
tember 22?''
Yes, sir said Chase, nervously. 1--WE
had made up"
How did it happen, then, that you called
him a grand scOundrel?''
1T was in joke
"WeIl, you thought him monster at that
time, didn't you? Weren't yoH in earnest
when you called him scoundrel?'
Yes, sir, was il earnest; meant it. y
But you just now said you rere Joking. "
IN EARNEST AND JOKING.
Eyes, sir, was in earnest, and 1 was
joking. too" And a smile went round the
court room in spite of efforts to keep
order Chase hastened to add, Sometimes,
you know, Mr. Birney, we are in earnest
when we are Joking, too Chase said Mr..
Birney was trying to bulldoze him, but
received the District Attorneys good
natured assurance that he intended nothing
OF the kind
Miss Kate Moten testified that she had
worked in the recorders office since
1884, up to November last, when she was
discharged. When the defense attempted
to show that she was dismissed for re-
fusing TO use her influence to quiet GER
tain persons who were talking about
the recorder, Judge Cole ruled out the
evidence upon an objection by Mr. Rirney.
The defense excepted.
j. NJ. Foster said he sought place under
Taylor and saw the recorder in company
with Mr. C. H Hooker. Taylor said he
should have place and sent him to w. G.
Still with a note. He told Still he was a
Democrat and willing to contribute an as
sessment, and was told by Still that he
could have place.
STILL ASKED FOR MONEY.
Still asked him for SO in advance and
SO a month as long as he kept the place.
Stills testimony was finally ruled out on
the ground that the position Foster was to
have was not in Taylor's office.
Mr. +. L. SiddOns testified as TO an investi-
cation into Taylor's doings made by him as
a member of the CiYil Service Reform
League, but was not allowed to state the
result OF his investigation. He also said
he called on Taylor in connection with the
alleged insult to Mrs Hill In denying Mrs.
Hills charge Taylor said that he did not
object to attacks on political grounds, but
asked that his personal character be spared.
Michael NJ McCary testified that he was
employed in Taylor's office ana was fur
loughed in July and discharged in October
without any reason SO far as he knew.
Alexander Hooe, an attorney, saw Tay-
lor talking in the corridor at the city hall
with woman and said she was adjusting
his collar and tie.
