Il don't think that is in my testi-
mony. I know that | asked for the
money at one meeting and got it at the
subsequent meeting. l asked for it at
the time of the Carr transaction and
received it at the time of the Myers
transaction, or vice versa"
The Carr Transaction.
Relating to the Carr transaction and
his testimony regarding it before the
legislative committee and grand jury
the witness was asked If his testimony
before the committee was not disputed
by Mr.. Carr and that he changed his
testimony in some respects when he
testified subsequently before the grand
jury. The witness said he did not
that that was fact
He was asked If he did not know at
the time he testified before the grand
jury that Mr.. Carr had testified before
the legislative committee.
mo, sir; don't think did"
did you not read a full report of the
testimony given before the committee
in the Standard?"
'I read the report in the Standard,
that was given"
WAS not full report of all the tes-
timony published in the Standard"
II don't know I never read and never
saw all the testimony that was given
before the committee
The witness was asked If all the mat
ters thus far reviewed in the cross
examination did not comprise all the
matters regarding which he gave tes-
timony before the legislative COM
mittee.
Il think that was about ALL" re-
piled the witness, "but / did not say
that there We're not other matters or
that I had given all the details. There
were many other matters and details
regarding which / never testified and
which have slipped my memory.
was called upon to give a concise
statement as the time of the commit
tee was limited, and I did 50, but l
did not mean to convey the idea that
there We're not other details of the
transactions"
Not All Were Included.
Mr.. Whiteside was asked if in his
testimony before the grand jury he
did not name a certain limited num-
Der of legislators as those whom Mr..
Welcome and Mr.. Steele had told him
We're pledged.
Il did not undertake to include all
the names at that time" was the re-
ply.
Why, when the general question to
tell all about the transactions was
asked you, did you limit your answer
to the Myers and Clark transactions
and the matters relating to yourself?'
Because those We're all regarding
which / had indisputable proofs at the
time, and because the time was lin
ited.'
AS to your claim that you received
either $4,000 or 900 from Mr.. Neill
for Mr.. Carr, you said nothing as to
that in your testimony. either before
ftA tllt ttNvf.
iury?"
mo, sir; did not"
Nor did you say anything on either
of those occasions about Mr.. Neill tell
ing you that Mr.. Welcome was the
general manager of the works?"
Il don't know as to that"
you gave no testimony at that
If you learned anything you could re-
port either to Charles Clark or Mr.
Neill?"
mo; there was nothing about that
in my testimony
Nor did you say anything about
Mr.. Welcome telling you that he
would pay 100000 to these men; but
more?"
Nc; there We're a great many things
I did not testify to because"
We'll, never mind; just answer my
question"
II wish to explain why I did not tes-
tify to all those things"
You can: go on and explain" said
the chief justice.
II did not testify to all those mat
ters because at that time there had
not been made a thorough examina-
tion of all the matters"
Five Thousand for Republicans.
tVnn hot Nv all
told you that they would pay $1,000 for
republicans, whether they We're used
or not; did you testify to anything
like that before either the legislative
committee or the grand jury?"
II don't know as to that"
Did you testify, either before the
committee or the grand jury, to any
say you had with Mr.. Welcome re-
garding Mr.. Bywater?'
II think not
In pursuance to the conversation
with Welcome. said the witness, he
met Bywater on the street and had
a talk with him. On the same day he
saw Jacqueth in his room at the
Grandon hotel and made to him the
offer Mr.. Welcome had made.
Il wanted him to 60 and see Well
come; but Mr.. Jacqueth said he did
not want to see him. He said he
would rather do the business through
Mr.. Neill, as he had done business with
him before through the surveyor gem
erals office. I went to see Mr.. Neill
and then called on Mr.. Jacqueth
again."
The witness was asked to give the
dates, places and other details of
other meetings and he repeated what
he had stated on Tuesday
Some of the Conferences
when was it that you had the talk
with Welcome about Mr. Fine?"
Il don't remember. 1t was at one
of the talks we had about the men,
BEES"
When was it you had the CONVEX
sation with Welcome about Beas-
ley?"
II can't fix the exact time of any Of
those conversations We had many
talks about the various members"
when do you claim you had the
talk about w. A. Clark of Butte?"
THAT was along about the middle |
Of the week, about four or five days
after l first met Mr.. Welcome"
