why"
''Oh, just as a joke"
''Oh, just as a joke? Were you
working then as a furniture broker
or a detective?''
.Just a sub; an understudy''
"Oh, understudy. Who was the
chief
"Whittemore, and he gave the
whole snap away. He let F'ricke into
the scheme. I introduced F'ricke to
Allen, saying the latter was from
Denver. Whittemore began talking
about Salt Lake. 1 might as well give
the whole snap away, guess. Whit
temore wanted some information and
l introduced them"
Did you say in your interview that
Hayken was a coarse-looking unprin-
cipled Dutchman?"
Yes, SIR
Did you say that $4,000 was set
aside for the house paid boodlers?"
"Oh, we had general converse
ton
Did Allen promise Fricke a posi-
tom"
Il think he said something about
getting a clerkship in an insurance
office
Did you make any figures on this
furniture?"
YES, l had inquired on some Items
And your ideas have not changed
since making your estimator
mo. But | do not like your ques-
ton You seem to imply L had predis-
posed IDEAS"
'Oh, no. Oh, no. On the contrary.
What makes you think L am implying
anything?"
well, the way you ask the ques-
tion?'
You had this contract with you
furnished by the county,"
1T was given me by Mr.. White
more
well you made an estimate you
say, on a dozen items isn't it a fact
that you went through the whole
thing?"
Yes, sir"
That's all"
Whittemore then took the witness
for redirect. In reply to a ques-
ton as to competition witness
said that where there was no competi-
ton prices were high.
Suddenly switching the witness was
asked what was the result of the suit
against him by the Furniture COM
pany? Weary replied that it was re-
versed on appeal.
During your service with the An
drews people did they ever request
you to do any boodling?'
Yes, sir, frequently. In one in
stance 1 was offered 1000 1 refused
it, 1 never took a bride The money
by the city council in Omaha for at
tempted bribery. 1t was whitewashed.
Reamer was the agent of the Andrews
company; he was indicted but it was
also whitewashed. 1t cost 14,OOO"
Whittemore then made an attempt
-, I,
affidavit matter by asking few ques-
lions regarding the document. Wit
ness said he knew all about the affi-
davit but refused to tell who told him.
The facts are substantially true.
The witness was then led through
the intricacies of his suit with a. H.
Andrews. He admitted having been
cred
Il have the briefs here, if you would
like to look at them"
"Oh, no, I don't care for the briefs.
I have certified copies Of the deci-
sions"
This concluded the inquiry for the
day.
Today's session will be confined to
the examination of Swiney, the other
expert, who has made a list and fixed
prices of his own. He is said TO be
81, 600 below Weary.
After Swiney has been examined,
several furniture men from the city
will be placed on the stand. 1t is ex-
pected that the matter of the furniture
will be closed at once.
Judge Dey will doubtless wait until
after the county has presented its side
of the case before making any show
ing. In fact he may make none at
all. 1t is said the furniture company
believes the county court will put it to
the necessity of suing, no matter what
kind of a presentation it makes, and
it does not care to expose its hand I'M
til the final showing is made. How
ever, some testimony may be intro
duced with a view to removing any
display of prejudice which may appear
to have been produced upon the minds
Of people who have read the reports in
the newspapers. The company de-
clares that it can beat the case, no /
matter how strong appearances may
be at this time.
And here the matter rests until 10 /
o'clock today.
