United States, primarily, and secondarily
t0 break slOwlytO the masses OF the Span

that the. Dundon- Slade syndicate had been on secret terms of friendship and favoriteism with the commission since MT. Colnon had become a member. in March, 1895, and perhaps prior thereto.
 Judge Belcher asked if it were their purpose to introduce this evidence precedent to establishing collusion pos itively on the part of the present board, When they insisted that such was their design he allowed the introduction of all testimony of this nature within: the period of MT. Colnon's incumbency; holding further, however, that in event the links were not carried out to:the present the preliminary testimony should be rejected as irrelevant and in competent as affecting the present issue. =
 The effect of this ruling, whatever spacious pleading may be made as to undeserved reflections which may fall upon the board, either wholly or in part, will be beneficial in several re- spects The most important of these is that if the board and its agents are guiltless they will be proved to be: so.. If innocent of the damaging charges of bribery and collision they are .grati- fled doubtless at this opportunity to; be placed honestly before the public they are appointed to serve, since the allegations of silent partnerships and secret profit sharing will have to rest largely in the confirmatory proof in the accounts of the Dundon- Slade syndi
 cate. If wrong has been done the State in the manner described the people will enjoy the benefit of Judge Bel cher's ruling even to larger and more appreciative extent than can the Par affine Paint Company as a complain ant against the commission. Viewed from whatever Standpoint 1t is diffi- cult to perceive why the board and it's attorneys should not acquiesce in the. proceeding under Judge Belcher's rul-. ing, for in matters of this kind when honest public officers are before the bar of justice to defend accusations of such grave moment it would seem their wisest and most courageous course to waive technicalities and quibblings and place their faith of vindication in the fullness of the inquiry made, within ASnh rational limitations Judge Bel

COLNoN ON THE WITNEsS-sTAND.

 At the table, directly in front of the clerk S desk, were grouped s. G.. Irv- ing of the Paraffine Paint Company and his attorneys, Judge Cope and M. |: J. Sullivan. .:." ...<
 Chairman Conlon was first called to the stand and; gave the second enter taining exhibition of: the day, of spas medic recoyeries: from chronic: lapse of memory consequent upon an attack of vertigo last: spring. The evidence of: these temporary restorations oc- cured in affirmative and negative an-: sWers to questions of Attorney Strat- ton, intended to. establish the fact that MT. Stratton knew a great deal more about the business of the board than did. the honorable executive chairman. In short, MT. Conlel1 did not know pre- cisely: very much about anything re- lating to the contracts, opinions, legal advices and specifications pertaining to the suit, but allowed that MT. =Strat- ton knew all about them
 F. When MT. Reed came forward; with the books of Darby .Laydon & Go, in obedience to the request that he be: called to. the stand; there was an eX-> pectant shuffing and a sudden bobbing together*of craniums stored with legal lore and craft. Attorneys Stratton and MeEnerney met, mouth and ear, across the Jury box railing ;. : After MT. Reed had been sworn he identified the books as those of Darby. Laydon & Co.,. and testified that they were all of the account. records he knew about. When asked if there ex- fsted in them a service account" the legal mentality of Attorney :Stratton and Attorney McEnerney :. came into. whispered affinity, for a few moments. The swift result was an inquiry from Attorney. Stratton directed to. Judge Cope. as to the: intention of the ques- tion. It was explained that the pur- pose was to show the private nature .cf the transactions between the com mission and the Darby Laydon firm. The witness then replied that no ."ser- vice account" had been kept for. two years. Objection was made to any further questioning of the witness on this line, because the keeping of ser vice. account" had ceased prior to the marked the limit of the investigation as conducted up to that time
 Judge Cope dropped the witness without discussing the point. but ex- plained that the intention to have Dar- by Laydon present himself to pilot the inquiry through the mazes of the firms accounts had been defeated, tempora- rily at least, by the unexpected depart ure from the city of that gentleman

 A mass of objections and exceptions followed the query: Did you ever know of Darby Laydon & Co. making present. to MT. Colnon?"
 In this other form the question was put: Did you ever know Of Darby Laydon, & Co. making a present to the Board of Harbor Commissioners while MT. Colnon was. a member2
 . Objections continuing, Attorney Sul- HVan; vigorously insisted that the ques- tion was relevant to the issues in the case; that Chairman Colnon had testi- ned that he. had ever acted from pure and dlSinterested motives. It was the intention. to prove bribery and coflu- sion. It was proposed to show that se- eret relations began. between Darby Laydon. & Co and the Board of Harbor Commissioners as far back as 1895, when Mr.; Colnon'. became member ot the board. If this proof was to be followed by similar proof coming down to the present. time. 1t should be considered by the court; as it would have its mo- raj value in the determination of the pending issues ;. %- :.
 Attorney Stratton asked counsel. for the Paraffine Paint Company if they had recent proof of the nature charged.
 Judge Beleher. said he was willing to take: their word for it as. reputable counselin the court .~.I'::::
 After other direct questions had been objected to, Judge Belcher ruled that the investigation of the books and the taking of the testimony of witness should proceed, with the understanding that it would be expunged from the record as incompetent unless the links of the alleged proof were carried down to the present time - #. -:

 So far as the Patterson entries are
 concerned it is the purpose to show that the rewards were for the approval
 of pills covering logs, which were of much longer measurement in the afore- said bills by many feet than they were
 when received by the Harbor Commis-: sion for use
 The morning and that part of the. afternoon session consumed by the ex- animation of Chairman Colnon was in-
 teresting principally because of the fe-
 lcltouS:. want. of ceremony accounted Tor; pathologically at the outset by the
 witness. He stated to the: court: that. last spring he suffered an attack of ver-@ lgo, Which necessitated special medi- cal treatment: for: a period of nine months: The chief manifestation of his allment- at that time. and of threat ened occurrences, had been a dizziness and loss of*memory.

He acknowledged that he had an: extremely bad memory: as to those :partfcularities, and he came pretty near proving that such was the Iact, Tn spite: of the adroitnesS of coun-: Sel on the other side~: .' It came out in the. course of MT. Col mons examination that MT. Stratton While serving as attorney to the board was also attorney for the S. E.
