The court sustained the objection After
some argument on the part of Mr. johnson
the court consented to allow the question,
and Senator Gray said that he rccoliected
that there was a difference of opinion tx

regarding the relevance of the question,
but that he had no specific recollectl IN

Fifty-third Congress. and stated that at
the time OF such election the Democratic
party was in control OF the House, Senate

the jury that it was to the interest OF the
American Sugar Refining Company that'
the tariff bill known as ''the Wilson bill. y
and which had passed the House Of Rep

recited the fact that the first amendment

and the Jones amendment still further in

Mr.. Davis recited the fact Of the appoint

York papers. He then read the indict-
ment, which charged in effect that on June
12, 1894, the defendant, Henry o. Have
meyer, was summoned before the special
committee OF the Senate appointed to in

among other things, was asked by Senator

mittee and the head clerk of the committee.
Senator Lodge was then placed upon
the stand, and proved the star witness
for the Government.
When asked what he knew about the
question put TO HaYemeyer regarding The
contributions, local, national and State,
made by the American Sugar Refining
Company, Senator Lodge said that when
Mr.. Haycmeyer came before the senate
committee the fiIst time he expressed his
entire Willingness to answer any .nd all
questions that the committee might Ge-
sire. On the other hand, when The .t'en
question was put to him, regarding the
contributions made to local elections. lie
refused stoutly to enswer the question ell
though he had acknowledged the pre- eyious
day that such donations had been made,
and had promised to examine the looks
OF the company for all data and amounts
so contributed.
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, then took
the stand. His testimony was in the main
similar to that of Senator Lodge. When he
concluded his testimony the hour OF 3 had

In answer to a question put by MFR

that his impression was thatthree members

At this Juncture, 2 O'Clock, a recess Of
thirty minutes was taken.
When the trial was resumed at 1856
O'Clock, Senator Lindsay was called TO
the stand He was asked regarding the
refusal OF Mr.. Havemeyer to answer the
question but by Mr.. Allen anGpto give his
recollection OF what took place in the
committees room on the day in
question, all OF which he did with that
courteous manner and smiling coun tenance
characteristic OF him. He also gave as
near as he could the replies made by Mr..
Havemeyer to the questions asked regard
ing the contributions OF the American
Sugar Refining Company to any local
campaign funds, and when he had done
so he was requested by Mr.. Davis to re-
him.
Mr.. johnson attempted to undermine the
testimony, on the ground that a state:nt MT
from memory that must be refreshed / y
referring to the record was not admissible
as evidence, and it was, therefore. Of no
avail. Several cases Were cited by The
district attorney in support OF his conten-
tion, and many authorities Were br Jnght

that the evidence as given by Senator
Lindsay was perfectly stable and suffi-
ciently clear enough to have legal Sig
nifcance.
Justice Bradley said that it appeared to
him that he printed record in questIoa was
only faithful record of what had aiken
place, and, therefore, overruied the OBJ
lection.
Mr. Davis then asked Senator Lindsay
IL he could remember any suggestions made
b. the minority regarding the questions
put by Senator Alien His recollection was
that after the witness had left the COM.

the minority that he be asked as to the

funds. federal, local or State, and that
when tie questions were put Mr.. Have

that no contributions had been made to

mittng some had been made to local cleo
tions, though upon being interrogated the

uons regarding any contributions made by
the American Refining Company.

matter, on the next day replied:

of counsel l decline to answer about cut
side matters. l decline to answer about

exists no bargain OF any nature, and we
never claimed that the company was en-
titled to anything except what It's merits
required"
The first witness was Harry f. Cunning
ham, file clerk Of the Senate, who was
examined by Mr.. Davis TO prove that Mr..
Hayemeyer had been summoned to appear
before the Senate committee. The defense
however, admitted the service of the sub
poena n. G. Prentiss, stenographer to
the Senate special committee, was the
next witness, bringing with him the original
notes of Mr. Havemeyef's testimony be-
fore the committee. Mr.. Davis proceeded
TO question the witness as to tie questions
by Senators and replies by Nj. Haveneyer,
when counsel for the defense objected.
After lengthy argument, Justice Bradley
said he could not see the relevancy of the
questions at the present time, and, on the
the printed report of the Senate investigat-
ing committee was transcript of the
stenographer S notes, the witness was ex
cused.
Robert Miller, another stenographer. was
the next witness. He read some notes OF
June IS, giving the refusal of Mr. Have
meyer to answer question propounded by
Senator Allen.
The reply was: while am perfectly
willing to answer any material matters,

swer about outside matters. decline TO
answer about local contributions. 1 know
of nothing given to the national campaign.
There exists no bargain of any nature and
never claimed that the company was en-
titled to anything except what its merits
required
Senator Gray, of Delaware, was next
called. Mr. Davis requested Senator Gray
to search his memory and give tie cues
tion which he had asked Mr.. Havemeyer,
which question the stenographer had lost
from his original notes, but which was in
the report.
Tie Senator remembered that in sub
stance the question dealt with cortribu-
tons OF the trust to the campaign funds
Judge johnson then took the witness in
hand. In reply to question regarding
the reports of the committee TO the Sena ),
one of which was considered in execu2 se
session, Senator Gray said he could not
remlrnber anything that occurred in sx-
ecutiye session.
The desire of the defense apparently was
