BRuMm Is ANGRY.

Congressman Brumm appeared in the court
room this morning and took a seat between
the opposing counsel. His presence here was
explained when he was called to the witness
stand and Mr.. Whitehouse offered to contra
diet through him the testimony of Senator
Losch, who swore that Brumm made a diCker
with the Governor to deliver to him the state
delegates from this county in return for his
veto of the Quay county bill. Raising his
voice Mr.. Whitehouse said he wanted it con-
tradicted in the name of common decency
and to refute a SANDER on the Governor Of
this state. The prosecution objected, and
Mr.. Whitehouso shouted that if the testimony
proposed was not relevant and accepted, he
wanted Losch's evidence ruled out. Il do
not want it ruled off," he exclaimed hotly,
but l want it kicked out as IN infamous
SANDER. He even said they gave the Cover
nor a gold brick, and this has been published
all over the country"
The testimony of Losch was read by the
stenographer stating that Brumm, Coyle and
Payne, the dominant party in Schuylkill
county at that time, left the Governor under
the impression that he would get the support
of the state delegates at the next convention.
After some wrangling on the part of counsel
Judge Bechtel asked Mr.. Brumm this quss-
ton
Q. Did you or did you not make any such
representations to the Governor
A. | made no such representations directly
or indirectly and said nothing that could be
so construed. 1 never consulted with the
Governor on such q subject, and the man that
swors to that did so maliciously -
Mr.. Schalck Hold on you're going too
far.
Judge Bcchtel to witness He did not say
you had promised the Governor, but that you
left his friends under hat impression.
A. Well, that's false; we didn't do any
thing of the kind; it wasn't an issue.
Mr.. Whalen While Mr.. Brumm is on the
stand let me remind him that Mr.. Wilhelm
testified TO the same thing, and l suggest
that he contradict that, too, if he will.
Mr.. Wilhelm wanted to say something, but
was howled out.
Mr.. SchAlck Is it trueP
A. It's absolutely false. because there wa,
no such talk.
Mr.. Schalck Very well; that hits botf
ways now.
: Mr.. Whitehouss asked that the evidsnc,
of George Owens, former court house %janitor
be stricken out because it related only to tn,
main judges room, while they proposed t.
prove there was a water closet put into tn,
Orphans Court Judges room.
Mr.. Owens was called and swore that sine
yesterday it occurred to him that there haC
been a water closet put in the county survey
or's room which had been fixed up for JudE
Lyon when he was appointed by the Cover
nor.
