THE MORNING SESSION
OF THE COMMITTEE

The committee met in room 16 of the
Capitol building at 10 o'clock a. m
The following proceedings were had:
Senator Cutter-Mr. Chairman. L see
by the testimony of Mr.. Leake of The
Morning Call, given here last evening
that he has cast a reflection upon my
character which is absolutely untrue.
The whole statement there that L ever
received any money from Mr.. Grant or
Mr. Grants manager is an absolute
and entire falsehood. And I demand
that 1 be sworn and allowed to testify
before this committee in vindicattOn of
my character.
The chairman-Senator Cutter, the
committee will be obliged to follow
some kind of order in the taking Of
testimony, and that order could not
we'll be broken in upon by having your
testimony injected at this time, but 1
assure you that you shall have all the
opportunity you desire to refute any
charges that have been brought against
you.
Senator Cutter-WelI, Mr.. Chairman,
that is all 1 ask
The chairman-We will send for you
al any time that we can use your testi-
mOny.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-01-19

Wright first in order that we will not
have too much confusion in the line of
our examination.
Mr.. McEnerney-Have you any means
of telling what moneys OF Mr.. Grant you
paid out to-
Mr.. Bacon-Now, Mr.. Chairman. l sub
nit that that question has been asked by
the chairman of this committee and it is
absolutely improper to allow Mr.. Nc
Enerney to go into that question.
Mr.. McEnerney-He said that he kept
no books of account and 1 want to ask
him if he kept any memorandum
Mr.. Bacon-He has already answered
that fully.
The chairman-Mr. Green, L understood
you to have answered me that when you
can secure your data you can then tell
how much money you have received from
Mr. Grant and how you have expended it?
A. Well, 1 don't know that l could give
tainly can of the receipts.
@. And that letter-if you are given
time you can get that?
A. Certainly; anything that I have at
my disposal. have nothing whatever to
conceal in the matter
Mr.. Mellick-Does that memorandum re-
fer to, contributions to various legislative
candidates?
A. Oh, to county committees and every
thing of that sort.
Mr.. Misunderstanding contributed moneys
to county committees, did you contribute
any in Mr.. Wright's district after he was
nominated!
A. Not a dollar.
@. 1 do not mean for Mr.. Wright, but
to the County Central Committee fund in
that district AS soon as he was nomi-
mated did you know whether that dis
trict was absolutely safe Republican?
A. Well the subject was never mem
toned again between US.
@. Well you knew it as a matter of
fact did you not?
A. Well, of course, I knew that when
the nominations were all made his nomi-
nation was equivalent to an election. But
that fact was not determined for some
time for the reason that there was con-
siderable of an independent movement in
Alameda County this year and quite
strong talk about fusion nominations.
O. How was it, Mr. Green, about that
$3.50? was that paid before Mr. Wrights
election or after he was elected?
A. Oh that was before his election
Mr. Sanford-Well after his nomination?
A Ny recollection is that it was after
his nomination; still l am not certain.
Mr., Mellick-I. think you said while
A No. I said that the obligations that
he owed were due in November and he
wished to anticipate that by asking me to
9. Can you get that letter here that he
wrote you?
A. Yes, sir.
The Chairman-And the check?
A No; 1 have no means of getting the
check.
Mr. Melick-What did you say to Mr.
Grant when you went TO him and got that
$3.50.
A think L showed him the letter and
he asked me what thought about 1t, and
l said it was all right and that 1 would
do it.
Q. What did you mean by saying that it
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-01-19

Of fact, two years ago Mr. Wright re-
ceived the largest Republican majority
Of any member of the Legislature, and
that is an overwhelming Republican dis
trict. Now you simply had to get his
nomination. | do not understand how
you can say that that money was con-
tributed to the election of Republican
to the Legislature.
A. Well if Mr.. Wright received that
nomination and was elected he would be-
ture, wouldn't he, if the Legislature was
Republican?
Q, If Mr.. PringIe was elected would
not he have been a part of it?
A. Yes sir, But it happened that I
knew Mr.. Wright and did not know Mr..
Pringle.
Q. Therefore because you knew
Mr.. Wright your friendship was
great, and you were the manager for
Mr.. Grant. Did you not expect that
your contribution of 5000 would
naturally lead to his voting for
Grant,
A. No, sir; not at all; be-
cause Mr.. Wright had said before
that-several months before that
that if he were elected to the Legis-
lature he expected to vote for Mr..
Grant.
@. You wanted to keep up your
friendship
A. don't know what you call
1t. It was simply a case of a friend
being a candidate for the Legislature
and was willing to assist in secur-
ing his election
Mr.. La Baree-You were sure that
you were aiding Grant man thenP
A. certainly thought so, yes.
Mr. McEnerney-I would like to ask a
few questions.
The chairman-Very well.
Mr.. McEnerney-Does Mr.. u. S. Grant
keep a bank account in the city and coun-
ty of San Francisco?
A. No, sir.
Q. Do you keep a bank account there?
@. Do you keep bank account in Oak
land?
9. Do you keep any bank account?
@. Have you in the last eighteen
months?
A. No, sir.
Q. On what bank were the checks that
you received from Mr.. Grant drawn?
A.-Well. don't remember. 1t was the
National Bank in San Diego, but I can
not remember the name.
@. Upon what bank was the check for
$3.50 drawn by Mr.. Grant with which you
Cancelled Mr.. Wright's obligation?
A. l presime on the same bank that he
was in the habit of drawing on.
Q. You have received divers and large
sums of money from Mr. Grant, have you
not?
A. Well, divers-not large sums
Q. You have received many sums, have
you not?
Mr.. Bacon Mr. McEnerney is going
clear outside of the examination that has
been made by the committee. All the
questions I asked were within the line OF
questions asked by the committee. This
is outside of anything that has been
gone into by the committee itself.
The chairman understand that to be
the limitation. The attorneys are con-
fined to the matters inquired into by the
committee. 1 intended to go into that
line somewhat but I wanted to
finish up this particular matter with Mr..
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-01-19

was all right? What did you mean by
that. that he was still friendly to Mr..
Grant?
A; No; not at all. I thought that he
kind? '''-ii9 - 'iiS''
4. There was his promise in the letter.
.. You never got any note?
The chairman1Was Mr.. Wright at that
time financially responsible?
A. Well / really do not know about
that. 1 think he was manager of the Cali
fornia Title and Trust Company at that
time, and 1 knew that he had stock in
that institution.
Q. He had recently gone through insol-
vency, had he not?
A. | think it was two years ago that he
went through insolvency. To the best of
my recollection, I think he went through
about two years ago.
Q. You made no examination into his
financial standing?
A. No. sir
@. You learned it on the credit of his
personality, and expected he would return
A Yes; I had his written letter stating
that he was on his way to Oregon, and
that he expected to close up that trans
action at, that time. and that there would
O. You did not inquire into the chances
or whether his expectancy was based
on good reason or not?
A. No; / didn't stop to reason 1t out
that way. He asked me upon receipt of
the letter to telephone to his friend He
gave me his name and the number of his
telephone in Berkeley.

A. Yes.
@. That was YeaZell?
A. / believe that was the name. It was
a very peculiar name, / know-one that
I had never seen before.
Mr.. Mellick-Mr. Grant sent you money
at different times for two different funds
nnf cAVAH - 49,
checks on the San Diego Bank? Now l
suppose, not having any bank account in
Oakland or in San Francisco, you went
and got that cashed and carried the
money in your pocket?
A. No, sir.
Q. Then how could you make these
contributions? Take the Wright case?
A Oh If had sY check e Of $1,000 or $1,000
get $500 or $500 in coin and certificate
of deposit for the balance. and l
would cash that from time to time as l
@. In what bank did you deposit money
that way and take certificates of deposit?
A. Well, think it was in the-some-
sometimes in the First National.
Q. In San Francisco?
A. Yes.
Mr.. McEnerney-Wha bank in San
bank in San Diego?
A My recollection is that it is possible
| more checks than one were bank checks
drawn by the San Diego bank on the
Croker Woolworth Bank in San Fran
cisco.
Mr.. Bacon-Draft?
A. Yes; checks or drafts.
Mr.. McEnerney-Payable to your or
der?
A. presume SO.
@. You never had anybody else to in
dorse them-you always got them for
yourself, did you not?
A. / always drew the money.
@. And it was on your Endorsement alone
that the money was paid?
A. Yes
Q. It was not on Mr.. Browns?
A. No. sir.
@. And the money passed through your
hands?
A. Yes, think so.
@. Some of it came by draft on the
Crocker-Woolworth Bank?
A. One, at least, and possibly more.
The chairman-How much was the

A. No. The facts in addition to those
which were published in the paper, winch Z
written to Mr.. Clough and agreed to pay
his election expenses, and Mr.. Clough de-
clined it.. All those things have been pub
lished-all that We know about it-in the
paper.
The chairman-Do you gentlemen desire
any further questions?
Mr.. Bacon-Yes, 1 would like to ask a
{. air Leake. you say you had a con-
versation with Mr.. Green in which he was
speaking to you of the chances OF Mr..
Grants election. Did he at that time show
you q list of the men who would vote for
Mr.. Grant?
A. No, sir; he did not.
Q. He has never shown you such list.
has he?
A No, sir.
@. He has never shown you any list.
and never has claimed to have. list of
men that he has assisted by furnishing
them money for their election expenses;
has he?
9. Except the two instances of which
a. No, sir. Not at all.
Q. Never claimed that he had such a
list and never spoke of such list; did
he? | mean Mr.. Green; .o
questions together there. He did tell me
that he had thirty-ive votes that were
going to vote for Mr.. Grant.
Q. am asking you now about list OF
men that he had assisted.
A. Now, also, you have run two ques-
lions together. want to be understood.
He has never told me of any list, or his
assistance of any other candidates than
those that I have told you about tonight.
Q. What l wanted to have you make
clear was, that he never had claimed or
mentioned to you list Of names of men
whom he had assisted.
The chairman-That is all, Mr.. Leake.

BALANCE OF TESTIMONY OF
MILTON J. GREEN TUESDAY

The report of the testimony of Milton
j. Green Tuesday night was not sent in
full owing to the lateness of the hour.
Following is the portion omitted:
Mr.. Mellick-How long since that AS.
sembly district was doubtful. that you
had to get a good nominee up?
A. Well, l don't say it was doubtful at
any time; but 1 remember two years ago
that Mr.. Wright was a candidate at that
time and 1t was deemed necessary or adj
visable by the Republicans to get an in
dependent Republican out. of the way.
Otherwise Mr.. Wright's election two
years ago would have been in danger.
Mr.. La Baree-Mr- Green, did you give
any other contributions to any other par
ties?
Mr. Lardner-Did Mr. Wright know that
you had funds of Mr.. Grant in your
hands?
A. He did not.
Mr. Mellick-I have not finished up my
questions. Now there is a point right
there; that they had TO get an independ-
ent candidate out of the way in order to

Lay of the Hon.

We have read of Maud on a sum
mer day, who raked, barefooted, the
new mown hay. we have read of
the maid in the early morn, who
milked the COW with the orumpled
horn, and we've read the lay that
poets sing, of the rustling corn and
flowers of spring, but of the lays of
the tongue or pen, there's naught
like the Law of the barpyRyl hen
Long, long befefore Maud makes
her hay the barnyard hen begins
to lay, and ere the milkmaid has
stirred a peg, the hen is up and has
dropped her egg; tile corn must
rustic and the flowers must spring,
if they keep up with the barnyard
ring. If Maud is needing a hat or
gown, she doesn't take her hay to
town; she goes to the store and OBJ
tains her suit with basket full of
fresh hen fruit. If the milkmaid's
beau makes Sunday call, she
doesn't feed him on milk at all,
but works up eggs in a custard pie,
and stuffs him full of chicken fry.
And when the old man wants
horn, does he take the druggist
load of corn2 Not much He simp-
ly robs nest, to town he goes
You know the rest. He fingers and
he talks, perohanoe, of true reform
and correct finance; while his good
wife stays at home and soowls, for
while the husband fingers there,
she watches the caokling hen with
care, and gathers the eggs, the eggs
she'll hide, till she gets enough to
stem the tide. Then hail, all hail
the barnyard hon, the greatest
blessing of all to mon. Then throw
up your hat and mako Rome howl,
for the persevering barnyard fowl,
Corn may be king, but tits plainly
seen that the barnyard hen is the
greatest queen.
