represented. He was acquainted with
John Il. Toole and Marcus DAILY for
some II years.
What relation has Mr.. Toole had
with Mr.. Da1y?"
"He has been political manager
do you know of the Anaconda Min
ing company?''
II know there is such an organiza-
ton MN@
What were the political affiliations
Of Mr.. Toole?"
"Tie DAILY Crowd"
HE was in the Daily crowd
What do you mean by DAILY
An objection was made by Nolan to
this line Of testimony as having no
bearing on the matter of money paid
by Welcome to members of the legis-
lature.
Day said he expected to show the
existence in Montana for Years Of a po-
litical aggregation known as the "Daly
crowd the head and front of which
is Marcus DAILY; it's object has been to
control the politics Of the state and
defeat Mr. Clark and others associated
with him.
Nolan replied that such evidence
would be competent. provided the de-
PENDANTS would follow it with evidence
that the 100000 came from the DAILY
crowd
They must do that to make this tes-
timony admissible; otherwise it is not
material
II wish to show" said Day, that
Whiteside, instead of acting as puri-
fer of politics, was acting with the
Daily crowd and that the DAILY crowd
had for years been doing these very
same things.
What same things?" asked Justice
Pigott.
Why, using money to carry elections,
etc. replied Mr.. Day.
We will show that Daily himself fore
told what would happen in che legis-
lature. that it was published in his
newspaper and that 1t was all part of
one great scheme"
Conspiracy.
In answer to a. question by Justice
Hunt, Wallace said that they could
not show that the money came from an
Anaconda bank. nor could they show
by direct testimony where 1t did come
from; but they would show that White
side was in a, conspiracy to carry this
scheme out and had arranged it all with
Daly's political managers before the
legislature met.
The court overruled the objection and
the examination proceeded.
