sent him back to Mr.. Adams, I do not
blame him in the least for suspecting
that l was mixed up in the attempt to
extort blackmail from him, il
was guilty man. But, gen.
tlemen, I wish to state that if, at the
time Mr.. Bonebrake interviewed me, /
had had the least suspicion that there
had been any attempt to extort money
from him, or to eXtort money from any
other teacher or employe of this board,
this investigation would have occurred
last July and my name would have been
signed to the charges or the statement
or whatever else you may call it (for
1t smells as sweet by any other name).
which is now being investigated; and
instead of taking a vacation during the
summer this board would probably have
had it's hands full with an inyestiga-
tion.
1 consider that the gentlemen who
have made these affidavits which are
now before us have not dealt fairly, to
say the least, with the members of this
board in Withholding this testimony until
this late day; for they should have i'm
mediately brought 1t to our attention.
At or near the conclusion of Mr.. Bone
brakes examination Mr.. Conrey asked
me a question which was, in effect,
whether or not had presented to the
teachers committee and discussed with
them the changes which I desired made

asked me about 1t, and told him had
been before the grand jury. He said 1t
would ruin him, and told him he was
ruined already. He asked me what he
ought to do, and advised him to 60 to
Mr.. Conrey and to the grand jury and
tell the whole truth as to the matter
He was excited for time and really
felt sorry for the old man. feel sorry
for him now.
II asked him If he had not received the
money from Pitman and he admitted
that he had. He knew that referred to
Cooper's money. then demanded to
know whom he had represented In the
matter and he said he had represented
Adams and had paid the money to him.
I then said to him: 1T was dirty deal
you gave US. dirty deal. What did
you mean by coming to US and demand
ing money when you represented only
Adams and saying that our jobs were In
DANGER? WELL, said he, we had the
assurance then that there were others
behind it,
Several members Of the board thcr
questioned the witness a. to the assur'
ance he had received that he would ps

was made as to the reasons for his trans
fer to another school, but nothing add
tional bearing on the case was brought
out.

q, short speech, in which he de-
manded that the probing be continued
with all the speed possible. 1t was de-
cided by the board that the sessions
shall continue as late as 10: 80 o'clock
each evening, in order that as much
can be brought out at each sitting as
possible. There was less Of hearsay ev-
idence and statement of rumor in the
proceedings than before, although the
same latitude was given the attorneys.
The statements made by the two wit
nesses were such as left little for runlor.
ANXIOUS TO BE INVESTIGATED
The session began promptly at 1880
o'clock, with all the members of the
board present except Mr.. Bartlett, who
continues out of the city. AS soon as
the roll was called, Mr.. Webb moved
that hereafter the sessions be held until
1880 o'clock if necessary. The argument
on this motion was participated in by
nearly all present and it was finally
adopted. Mr.. Webb then moved that all
principals be notified through the sec
retary to appear at the conclusion of the
evidence of those mentioned in the aft
davits and be required to testify as to
whether they had ever been approached
Mr.. Webb wanted a thorough investiea-
ton, he said, and as there had been in
direct attacks made against the entire
board he desired the matter cleared.
Mr. Mclnerny amended the motion BY
The herald., 1897-11-27

said, interested in the scheme to hold
him up for months salary. The names
of those members he refused to divulge.
That testimony and that refusal have
cast a suspicion on every member of this
board. Mr. Bonebrake is now beyond
the call of this board, and that suspicion
will not be cleared up, so far as he is
concerned. But, gentlemen, since that
statement was made I have heard,
through a second party, that Mr.. Bone
brake has told the name that he refused
to tell to this board, and I have it from
the person to whom he told it. Gentle
men, Mr.. Bonebrake referred to me, and
it was my name that he declined to men
ton in his testimony. If Mr.. Bonebrake
had visited Mr.. Adams, as he testified,
and by Mr.. Adams was referred to Mr..
Axtell. and by Mr.. Axtell told that it
would take a months salary in order
that he might retain a position under
this board, and then had gone back to
Mr.. Adams and by Mr.. Adams been re-
ferred to me, and if all unwittingly

Judge for himself whether or not the

testified that at the first interview he
had with me relative to the retaining

second, 1t being suggested that II this
was done the investigation would not be
concluded until summer. Judge Phil
lips, who appeared as the representative
of the League for Pure City Govern
ment, stated that there would be no me-
cessity for summoning others. EVERY
body who has been approached will he

he, and they will be protected in their
action. If the defense wants the others
as witnesses as to character there will
be no objection to having them also"
Mr.. Webb explained that he wanted
each of the principals to tell how they
obtained their positions. Mr.. Davis
said it would be well to wait until the
river was reached before attempt was
made to cross it. On the vote on the
motion Messrs. Webb, Poor, McInerny
and Adams voted in the affirmative, and
Mathis, Conrey, Braly and Davis op-
posed the motion, which was declared
lost.
Director Poor then claimed the floor
on question of personal privilege. He
said that as so many Misrepresentation
had been made about the present inves-
tigation, he desired to clearly define his
position in the matter. AS he wished
that there be no mistake or misunder-
standing Of what he was about to say,
he had written his statement, which he
would read. He then proceeded to read
the following:

Bonebrake to DR.. Mathis, and not to
Mr.. Adams. 1t is not, therefore, neces-
sary for me here to repeat that state

course Of his testimony stated that he
had suspicious that there were other

THE A. r. A. BROUGHT IN
About this time : surprising admission
was made by the witness. The attor-
neys were leading him over the story
again. and he told how he and Axtell had
always been friendly and that there
were fraternal relations existing be-
tween Them Asked what he meant by
this, Phillips stated that he and Axtell
were members Of the same order.
What order Is that?" asked Attorney
Davis.
The A. p. A." replied the witness.
For the first time since the investiga-
tion began it was explained just how the
inquiry came to be started. It seems
that soon after the election of teachers,
Prof. Phillips left for the north and was
absent from the city during the vaca-
tion. During his absence he wrote sew
eral letters to Prof. Foshay as to school
matters, and as he had had sc yeral talks
with him about the extortion business he
mentioned 1t in one of his letters. 1t
happened in this letter was another SUBJ
ject which Prof. Foshay desired to call
to the attention of the board, and at q
meeting of that body he read q portion
of the letter. His manner of reading
showed that he had omitted some part
Of it, that portion which referred to the
scandal. At the conclusion OF the meet
ing Director Conrey asked Prof. Foshay
what 1t was that he had omitted, and
demanded to see the whole letter. Then
the truth came out and Mr.. Conrey was
put in possession Of the facts. He at
terward learned Of the other attempts
at extortion. and at once set on foot an
inquiry that has resulted in the inves-
tigation. 1t was through himself and
Director Davis that all the facts have

The tramp whose feet were frozen
last winter while he was lying in
the Howell barn is yet in charge OF
the Dingman township authorities.
His medical attendant states that if

the proper time he would now be
able to walk. The Poorinasters
have declined to have that done pre-.
sumably on account of the cost. and

The result must of course eventual

ty would prompt the officials to
have the proper steps taken to give
this unfortunate human being
a chance for his life. Even

would, as the doctor states, be now
able to move ON and care for him
self, which he says he is anxious to
do. AS it is he is not on the road to
recovery and may linger for many
at the townships expense,
and, in the end his funeral added to
the bill.
If the people of Dingman town
ship elect parsimonious poormasters
simply to save them money without
regard to any humane feelings it
would seem advisable for their inter-
ests that they select men who will
exercise at least the good judgment
to have an unfortunate promptly
killed and not keep him lingering
for an indefinite time at their ex-
pense. Such things pass the COM
prehension of ordinary minds, and
there are few communities which
would tolerate such inhuman and
narrow-minded methods.
