Mr.. Varian then read the statement
made by Holbrook in his dispositions
as follows:
TT is not true that any sum or
amount of money mentioned in the
asst cross -p.errogatory, or anywhere
else, was ever wilfully or knowingly
paid to Martin Hayken or anyone else
by said company to enable him to per-
form any corrupt or dishonest agree

any other. in aid of procuring the con-
tract, or for any other purpose what

paid, any money in aid of any dis
honest proposition connected with the
furnishing of the county courthouse of
Salt Lake City, and referred to as the
joint city and county building. nor do

REDIRECT EXAMINATION.
This closed the cross-examination
and Judge Powers asked the witness
to identify and explain certain papers,
which went to show that the witness
was here at the time that Hayken said
he was in Chicago. The witness said
they were receipts for money he had
paid to paupers at that time in 1893.
1t was Bamberger's usual business,
but as Bamberger was in Chicago then
witness attended to it.
Witness said that it was at the re-
quest of Judge Powers that he had
written out a statement of the prin-
cipal points in his case for examination

that Mrs. Morris had money of her

The land brought 5000
Did Mrs. Morris authorize you to
sign her name 10 checks %
Yes
"And you always transacted her
business as her agent?"
Yes"
Witness also testified that the money
he deposited in McCornicks bank was
his wife's.
On re-cross-examination witness
said Mrs. Norris had twenty-one pieces
of real estate in this city, which she
bought with money received in
legacy from her uncle, the last pay
ments Of which were made in 1894 and
it was her money that he was handling
then. He put considerable of her |
money in the safety deposit, and did so |
because he was afraid if it was put |
in the bank even in Mrs Morris name |
Messrs. Bacon would claim that it was
witness and try to get hold of it on |
the judgment they held against him.
rs it not true, Mr.. Norris" asked |
Mr.. Varian, that the $500 you put |
in the safety deposit and which you
got from Hayken was your own
money!"
mo, it is not"
Mr.. Varian-That's all.
DISPOSITIONS READ.
Judge Powers then read depositions
by f. A. Holbrook, manager of Ihe |
firm of A. H. Andrews & Co., which |
referred to the Hayken letters as be- !
ing stolen from Andrews & Co., the |
dismissal of Floessler, and made a COM
plete and positive statement that the
firm had never directly or indirectly
furnished Hayken any money for bco-
die purposes, and had never paid any
of the selectmen or others directly or
indirectly any such money. AS to Hay |
ken's letters deponenl said he never
could understand them, and did not |
understand them now.
The dispositions of George P. Cary, |
attorney for Andrews & Co., were next |
read, but contained nothing of any par
ticular moment to the case. Those of |
A. II. Andrews & Co. were of no more |
Importance that Cary's, as it appeared |
he had been in Europe most of the
time the furniture deal was pending |
and being executed. Fred A. Cary. |
