TESTIMONY Of THE WITNESSES

Pleasure.
Senator Quay, Richard r. Quay and
Charles H. Mckee were arraigned before
Magistrate Jermon at the City Hall,
Philadelphia, at noon yesterday.
One Of the principal features Of the
case seemed to be the apparent i'll feeling
existing bet ween the various attorneys.
After their differences had been settled
the case proceeded.
The first witness was Assistant District
Attorney Barlow. Mr.. Barlow's testi.
mony was to the effect that he was the
receiver Of the Peoples Bank, o state in.
stitution with capital stock Of $3.50, 600.
He was appointed receiver on March 20
and between that date and April 4 he
had removed all books and papers to the
vaults Of the Real Estate Trust Com.
pany.
He was followed by Albert S. Tabor,
the former receiving teller at the Peoples
Bank. He identified the handwriting
on the papers offered in evidence by Mr..
Barlow as that of the late John S. Hop.
kins, with whose writing he was famil.
lar.
The expert accountant who examined
the books of the Peoples Bank, Meyer
Goldsmith, was the next witness called
by Mr.. Graham. A question as to the
identity of book submitted by Mr..
Graham caused another wordy war, at
the conclusion of which the district at
torney offered as evidence the books,
letters and kilograms found In the desk
OF the cashier. The first of these was
letter from B. J. Haywood, under date
of July 81, 1896, and a telegram that &C.
companied it.
This letter, which was read by Mr..
Graham, was, in effect, that "on Mon
day ! will mail check for $l00, 900, max
ing 5000, 600 to our account, the under
standing being that will not draw any
part of the deposit until r. r. QUAY has
paid or arranged the loan OF 100000
made to him this week."
The witness testified in answer to
questions that such loan was made,
carried until the insolvency Of the bank,
and finally paid.
Another letter was read, requesting
the purchase of GOO shares Of stock,
but the name OF the sender was not
spoken sufficiently clearly to be under.
stood.
A letter from Senator Quay to Cashier
Hopkins, requested the loan of SIS, 900,
and note was sent to cover the loan.
Another letter from Senator Quay de.
plored the unfriendliness of "Tom"
Dolan, which prevented Quay and some
OF his friends from getting in on the
ground floor of the U. G. l. Sugar he
classed as uncertain, and incidentally
touched upon the fact that "my invest
ments seldom work we'll, but generally
turn out all right in the end"
In still another letter to "My dear
Hopkins" the Senator requests loan of
$4,000 odd dollars, saying that makes
my indebtedness $l72 1000" Other let
ters were read directing Cashier Hopkins
to make certain stock deals, and giving
directions about its purchase and sale.
About twenty letters signed M. S.
Quay were identified by the witness as
being in the handwriting of Senator
Quay and several signed B. j. Haywood
were identified as the writing OF the man
whose name was signed to them.
The letters were read and the tele-
grams were then taken up.
Lawyers Shields and Sbapley consented
that they be introduced after Senator
Quay had looked them over. They were
half dozen in number and related to
the consummation of stock deals that
had been mentioned in the letters The
last one read was dated in Washington
and asked Hopkins to purchase 81 900
shares of Met. and will shake the plum
tree"
The hearing closed for the day after
another wordy tilt The defendants
were held in 5000 bail each to answer
at the November term of the Quarter
Sessions. The hearing of ex-State Treas
urer Haywood was fixed for Wednesday
next, at noon.
State Treasurer Beacon and Assistant
Cashier Pearce left Harrisburg for Phila-
delphia yesterday morning, taking the
State Treasury books along, having been
been summoned to produce them in the
case.
According to a telegram from Omaha,
ex-State Treasurer Haywood has been
released from police custody in that city
by direction Of District Attorney Graham.
The telegram from Mr.. Graham to the
Omaha police authorizing Mr.. Hay
woods release read:
Release Haywood and let him come
home at once"
Mr.. Haywood will probably not leave
Omaha for this city until after the Ak
Sar-Ben festivities. In addition to seeing
the festivities, he wants to spend few
days at the Exposition being held at the
