taking of testimony for the defendant
will begin on Monday afternoon. At
torney Day stated. to-day that he ex-
pected the defendants case would not
consume more than two or three days.
There may be some rebuttal testimony
offered afterwards. 1t is expected that
the line of testimony of the defendant
will be to show that the 10000 alleged
to have come from Welcome was in
| reality Daly's money instead of CIark's.
In public addresses at Helena and at
Butte Mr.. Clark declared that the
money did not come from him, but that
it was Mr.. Daly's money used in a con-
splracy to defeat him for the senate.

| torney proceeded to elicit the informa-
tion he desired by questions asked Of
the witness instead of by the bank
books. In answer to questions, Mr.
Berendes said that in the latter part
In January following he paid the debt
and deposited some $1,000 in the bank
and in the money as deposited were in

lin and wife to the Missoula Mercan-
tile company for $4,000 dated Dec. 22,
1897; a second from the same parties
to the same for $4,000 dated Dec. /,
1886; a chattel mortgage as additional
security on the same. A release of the
and release of the $4,000 mortgage
dated Dec 81, 1898. This evidence was
objected to on the ground that it was
immaterial to the question of Well
comes disbarment, and a, motion to
strike out the same was made. Argu-
time. The objection was finally sus-
tained. Mr.. Nolan then said that other
evidence he had was of the same gem
eral character, and therefore he would
not present any more evidence.
The defense asked that Senator My
ers be recalled for further cross-exam-
ination. Mr.. Myers took the stand.
He was asked as to the form of White
sides talk with him when he first
broached to him the matter of exposing
Whiteside began with the statement
that he had been authorized to offer
him $4,000 to vote for Clark Before
Whiteside finished the first sentence
Myers interrupted him with the state
ment that he would have nothing to
do with Clark or his money. White
side then went on to make the PROPOSE
ton that they stand together to expose
the bribery that was going on, and to
this the witness consented.

Mr.. Nolan then said that he had
more testimony, but he supposed it was
excluded under the ruling of the court.
What is the nature of the testi-
mony?" asked the court.
''It relates to money transactions and |
transfers of property" replied Mr.. No
Ian.

tice Hunt.
Eyes, since the session adjourned"
THAT might be admitted subject to
our decision after argument on Mon
day."
II understand that this was all ex-
cluded under the ruling relative to the
Mclaughlin mortgages" said Nolan.
Perhaps the defendant will take your
offer to show in lieu of putting the
witnesses on the stand, subject, of
course, to being stricken out. if we
should so decide on Monday" said
Judge Brantly.
