STOCKTON BRIBERY CASE.
Sensation Sprung at the Trial of Super

visor Brown.
STOCKTON, July 17.-When the trial of
Supervisor Brown was resumed in Judge
Budd's court this morning the court
room was crowded with spectators. 1t
was whispered that a sensation was on
tap, which increased the already great
interest manifested in the trial OF the
President of the County Board of Super
visors.
Those who expected sensation were
not disappointed. for when the court WAS
called District Attorney Nutler asked
that the Indictment found against DR.. G.
II. Bulson be dismissed. Bulson was
charged. together with Charles w. Ward,
with having bribed Brown.
IN consideration of the dismissal of the
indictment against him Bulson will give
testimony against Brown which Will
make his conviction almost certainty.
Bulson holds receipt for the money
paid to the supervisor, and he has turned
the important bit OF paper over TO the
District Attorney to be used against the
defendant.
In his opening statement to the jury
the District Attorney stated that he ex-
pected TO prove that on April 4, 1898,
Brown received a portion of 500, which
sum was paid to Bulson by Rushforth to
be IN turn divided between Brown and
Ward. In October of the same year
Brown received $3.50 from Bulson. 1t is
for this sum that Bulson holds receipt
This forenoon Bulson went on the
stand and made full confession, ac-
knowledging that he received Sl50 Of the
brIbe money and that Brown and Ward
received the remainder.
Ward, who has been in the County
Jail since his conviction, was brought
out ana placed upon the stand. He was
assured by the District Attorney that
any statement he might make would not
be used against him, should he receive a
new trial on appeal. He then told the
whole story, corroborating Bulson. The
defense now looks helpless.
