A BRAINY MAN.
Judge Dey here opened in evidence
letter written by Weary which was
admitted on the grounds that it showed
malice of the witness towards the An
drews firm. The letter read as fol-
lows:
Chicago. March Is, 1896.
A. H. Andrews, 215 Wabash Avenue,
City:
My Dear Sir-Some time ago 1 wrote
| you a letter in which | endeavored
TO convey the idea that it would be
well for you to cease hostilities in view
of certain circumstances which have
| since developed. L have always been
unable to understand why you person
ally have done your utmost to bring
down my reputation, but ] learn from
time to time of certain speeches of
yours which / will take from no living
man without retaliation. am inform
ed that it was at your instance that
/ Crosby's letter was published in the
furniture journal, and I enclose copy
OF my reply to him, which 1 think con-
tafns some food for thought. presume
1t is difficult for you to believe that it
is exceedingly painful to me 10 cru
city you in this manner and / do not
think you could ever be brought to be-
lleVe that 1 personally saved you from
the disgrace of Indictment at Salt
Lake, yet such is the fact.
L know that you are a very peculiar
man, but it is most astonishing to me
and to others as we'll, THAT you do not
realize that you are fighting an I'M
equal battle, and that am more than
match for the brains of your entire
aggregation. You have been surround
ed and influenced by bad men
| ever since you parted company
with the Haykens. (Mr. Weary eX-
planned later that "Haykens' should
read "Haydens'') You will probably
never believe it. but to everyone else it
is as clear as day light, and late de-
VeiopmentS prove it. Your attempted
persecution for me is. L think, one of
the worst mistakes you have ever made
yet, and 1 now again give you the
warning that every time you attack me
! in the puss of elsewhere / will lay on
a lash, and I have resources in this
line, which would astonish even you.
| Now, Mr.. Andrews, do not want you
| to think [ am trying to bully-rag you,
or that l am rejoicing over your mis-
fortunes. l admire and respect you in
many ways, but my reputation, next to
my family, is the dearest thing on
earth TO me, and I am so constituted
that it is impossible for me to rest
under the libels your crowd have
sought 70 put upon me- I sincerely
wish you could be brought to see this
whole matter in the proper light, but if,
as stated, you persist in making false
statements about me, you must take
the consequences. 1 am yours very
truly. EDWIN D. WEARY.
You consider yourself a man with
large amount of brains?" asked coun-
sci.
LAS compared with Holbrook and
Carey L do
You got Floessler to come to Salt
Lake?"
Yes. 1 did"
NOT A DETECTIVE.
You did some detective work them"
No, l object to calling it detective
work, because it is not my business"
Have you too much brain or are you
too high toned for detective?"
Il don't know"
You have sold furniture"
Yes"
You always charge one price to
everybody?'
No"
''Why, how don't you?'
IT'S not practical bic in the furniture
! business"
/ and the board of education for their
furniture compare with those paid by
! the county?'
''They paid more than the county"
E. D. swINEY TEsTIFIEs.
E. D. Swiney, examined by Mr.. Whit
temore, said he had had thirty years
experience in the furniture business;
had examined that supplied by An
! drews & Co. to Salt Lake county and
| considered it worth $26,392.09
CrosS-eXamined by Judge Dey, wit
ness said he was paid, like Weary, s25
! a day for his time when here last
summer, besides his expenses. He was
| here last March and was now here
again, but didn't know whether he was
to get anything for his services beyond
his expenses on the last two occasions
or not. He rather expected to get
something, but had no idea of how
much it would be. Witness had acted
in some instances as Whittemore's
/ financial agent in Chicago. He ar
ranged to get the witness Flaessler
here and others. bought their tickets,
etc.
THE OPERA HOUSE CHAIRS
Harry Haynes of Murray, replying
to Mr.. Whittemore, said he was in
terested in the Murray opera house
with Cahoon; knew the defendant Hay
ken.
Did you buy any chairs for the
opera house from Hayken?"
Objected to as irrelevant.
CORPUS deficit NOT YET SHOWN
Judge Hiles-Mr Whittemore,
would have no difficulty on ruling on
these objections if you would point out
to me any evidence which tends to
prove that 20 per cent or any money
was paid to Morris. So far there is
nothing but circumstantfal evidence
Mr. Whittemore-I didn't think the
court would require us to Introduce the
direct evidence of anyone who saw
Hayken actually pay the bride to Nor
Iis We can prove it by the circum-
stantial evidence.
Judge Hiles-You stated in the fore
noon that the supreme court of this
state had ruled that admissions of the
