CONVINCING STORY
IS TOLD BY M'CUNE
Defendant On Stand Nearly All Of Yesterday Before
Legislative Investigating Committee.
testimony Not Shaken In Any Particular By the Rigid
CrOsS-examinatiOn Of the Clever Ogden Attorney.

For over three hours yesterday 4. W.
McCune was on the stand, testifying in
his own behalf before the investigation
committee which is looking into the
charges made against him by Repre-
sentative Law.
Mr.. McCune told convincing, hon
est, straightforward story of the meet
ing with Law when the latter charges
$50 was given him for his vote. He de-
MED that he had ever given Mr.. Law
cent, and said that he had refused to
accept a proposition made by Law to
sell mis- vote for $1,000, During most of
the Afternoon Mr.. McCune was under
cross-eXamination by David Evans. Mr..
Evans seemed utterly unable to keep
personal a2imcsities out OF the exam
inatioG, and as he was unable other
wise to break down Mr.. McCune's tes-
limony, he resorted TO taunts and in
situations to anger Mr.. McCune and
make him say something which per-
haps might be tortured into an admfs-
sion of wrOnedoing. Mr.. McCune kept
his temper under this trying ordeal Of
abuse ana insult admirably for a time,
but toward the close OF the day he
evidently began TO feel that patience
had ceased to be a virtue, and he gave

In connection with the announcement
of the governors approval of house
! bill No ia, introduced by Representa-
tive Cummings, and providing for the
establishment of the University of
Utah on the site granted by congress
from the western edge of the Fort
Douglas military reservation. the leg
islature, in joint assembly, was yester-
day apprised of the intention of the
faculty and students of the university
TO fittingly celebrate the auspiciouS
event.
The felicity at the university over
the enactment of the measure that
provides funds amounting to $500, 600
for the erection of suitable buildings
and the improvement of grounds on
the new site for the state educational
institution, was made known in a for
NAL communication from President ].
I. Kingsbury, inviting the legislators
to visit the university on Tuesday
evening at o'clock, when Governor
Wells will make an address.
On Monday morning the lawmakers
are requested to come directly to the
laboratory building as nearly o'clock
as convenient. The invitation for Tues
day evenings celebration was accepted
by the legislature with thanks.
VISIT TO STATE PRISON.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon Gov
ernOr Wells and NJ. B. SoWles of the
state board of corrections escorted a
large delegation of members of the leg
islature TO the penitentiary. Three
special cars were rendered by the
Rapid Transit Railway company to
transport the visitors, who included
nearly every senator and representa-
tive, attaches of the legislature and
ladies.
Arriving at the penal institution on
the hill, Warden Dow received his
guests, and with his staff of guards,
chaperoned them for a thorough in
spectiOn OF the prison.
The greater portion of the time inside
the walls was given over to observing
the 112 prisoners knitting socks, max
ing clothing. shoes and other useful
and some Salable articles.
When the visit was near the end, the
guests sat down to a bounteous and
tempting luncheon, faultlessly served
by the trusty prisoners, under the di-
rection of Warden and Mrs. Dow, in
the large dining hall.
Just before nightfall the return to
the city was made

Mr.. Sloan was already on the witness
stand. and Faust retired blushing.
Mr.. Sloan testified merely as to the
conversation at the Vienna restaurant
between Christensen and c. NJ Jack
son. He overheard Jackson say: It's
a Cd d-ned lie.''
Moses Thatcher was called, and in
direct examination said that he knew
of his own knowledge that at least two
rev votes would have come TO McCune
on Saturday, if the charges against
him had not been sprung. Under cross
examination he went more minutely
into the question, stating that Friday
evening Mr.. McCune had met Senator
Rfdeout and Representative Stewart al
his home. He had been present at most
Of the conversation. The Heber J.
Grant letters and ecclesiastical influ-
ences were discussed, and it was finally
agreed that for the good of the Demo-
cratic party the senatorial deadlock
ought 20 be broken.
Didn't Mr. Stewart or Mr.. Rideout
say that they would vote for Mr. Nc
Cune provided he lost none of the twen-
ty-eight votes he had had the day be-
fore?" asked Mr.. Evans.
Il understood them to agree emphat-
ically that they would vote for Mr..

NAL of the statements attributed TO
him, that while he and Law were walk
ing across the street, Law had asked
him not to be hard on him for his mis-
take, as the air was full of rumors of
bribery. He said that Mr. Dunbar was
mistaken in quoting him as saying
these things.

statement of your side Of the story,

Shurtliff, promptly, without even put
ting it TO the committee.
If you'd given Law $50 and prom
ised him $1,420 more, you'd have stuck
to your bargain, 1 suppose, if he had
voted for you?" Evans asked, with his
disagreeable grin.
We object to this kind of questions,
Judge Dickson interrupted.
"Oh, I'm willing to answer that ques-
tion,'' Mr.. McCune said, calmly.
But on motion of Mr.. Sorenson the
objection was unanimously sustained.

morality?" Evans asked.
Yes, / have" Mr.. McCune replied.
Then, turning upon Evans, he went on:
My record is before the public, even

rest and then failed to follow it up and
show that there was no reason for it.

under his nose and denounce him?"
You've had the bee in your bonnet,
yourself, Evans" Mr.. McCune replied
quietly. land do you think you would

might injure your interests

ment in the Deseret News. Did you

McCune, without making any reserva-
tions''
You believed that it was right for
the minority members to yield to the
majority, even though the will of the
people might be with the minority?"
But this question was ruled out, and
Mr.. Thatcher was excused.
L. B. Critchlow told of the dinner
party at the Vienna cafe, when Mr.
McCune had said in a jocular way that
he had spent too much money in the
present campaign to lose it now. He
stated that every one of the dozen a
the table had heard the remark, and
that II was not regarded as serious by
any of them.
r. c. Chambers described his inter-
view with c. NJ. Jackson, in which the
latter had said that he would come over
10 McCune as soon as he was certain
that Judge Powers could not be elected,
and he had satisfied certain pledges
to Judge King, stipulating that he
would not do so unless the AIcCune
campaign were strictly on the square" )"
MCUNE'S TESTIMONY.
1--WE will now call Mr.. A. w. Nc
Cune," said the defense, and Mr.. Nc
Cune came forward and took the stand.
His testimony was given in a very
raightforward manner, and during
the direct examination he was very
calm and self-DOssessed. But under
examination he warmed uD sew
eral times and replied somewhat sharp
" and Indignantly to some Of the in
situations OF Mr.. Evans.
He said that prior to the Tuesday
afternoon before the Law charges had
been brought he had seen very little of
Law. He met him that evening, and
they went to the Vienna restaurant,
where they were joined by a number
Of other McCune men and dined. Later
they went with the others TO the Nc
Cune camp and talked there while.
There had been some talk about the
use of ecclesiastical influence in Cache
valley, and Mr.. McCune invited Law
into an inner room TO talk about il.
I'VE had scarcely got within the
door," said Mr.. McCune, when l turn
ed and asked Bob Sloan to come in
also. A moment later Joe Monson join
ed us, and after we had talked for a
while my son came. He said it was
time to go home, and 1 was virtually
a physical wreck. I went with him,
leaving the others together"
Did you, in any manner or form,
suggest to Mr.. Law that he might name
his own price If he would vote for you
the next day?" asked Sam Thurman
i said nothing that could convey
anything of that kind"
Mr.. McCune then turned to the events
Of Saturday morning, and told of the
jubilation at McCune headquarters at
the prospect of an election. He said
that it was considered certain that he
would be elected that day, as Senator
Rideout and Representatives Stewart
and Larsen were to vote for him, and
Representative Richards would be alb
sent.

believe; yes, sir.
How long have you acted as chair

After that experience, what particu-
lar interest did you have here in this

repeated? 1t is possible. don't know
about that.
Mr. Thurman-Did Mr. Evans make
any speeches in Sanpete county during
the last campaign? I think not. They
read them down there.
Mr. Evans-Read my speeches down
there?
Mr. Sorensen-He read them, you say?
Mr.. Evans-Did they sound pretty
well? 1 don't remember.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-02-26

Mr.. Evans as good as he sent on every
occasion.
The day was somewhat profitable, in
that it just about closed up the case of
the defense. Mir. McCune. who was
stiIl upon the stand at adjournment
IS nearly the last witness to be eX-
amined. Mr.. Evans threatens to keep
him upon the stand for some hours to-
morrow under cross-eXamination, and
If that is the case, and any evidence in
Tebuttal IS put in. the hearing will
hardly be concluded before the middle
of the week, and the report of the COM
mittee win probably not be presented
before the last of the week.

ans during the cross-eXamination OF

Cannon may vet be called to testify
as to some incidents OF the campaign
of two years ago. In all probability

tigation TO Mr.. Cannon's part in that
campaign, especially concerning the
negotiations he carried on between his
father and a certain senatorial candi-
date who was not being voted for, but
who was soliciting church support.
Representative Stewart was i'll all
day yesterday and was not present at
the sittings of the committee.
Soren y. Christensen was called for
cross mination in the morning. Mr..
Evans stepped right into a hornets
nest al the start. He had twitted
Christensen. who is Democratic chair
man OF Sanpete county, with the loss
OF that county.
Did Mr. Evans make any speeches
in Sanpete?" quickly interJected Alr.
Van Cott,
'.No, I believe not; but they were
