AN Attempt to Prove That Quay Was q

Admissions


Senator Quay and made the most of its
opportunity. Expert Accountant Gold
smith, the communicating witness,
was under scorching fire Of cross
I examination all day and the result of
it justifies the opinion that the net
work of evidence wrought by the prose-
cution from the books Of the broken
bank, tending to show Senator Quay's
guilty participation in the unlawful use
of the banks money were very much
shaken by the admissions the witness
was compelled to make under the skill
ful questioning of Attorney l.. S.
Shields, admittedly the best cross-ex-
aminer practicing at the Philadelphia
par. Nearly all the apparently damag-
ing entries attached to Senator Ouay's
name on account, as testified yesterday,
were explained away or greatly modi-
fed by the statements of the common
wealth's own witnesses. Judge Biddle's
ruling of yesterday had the effect of
confirming the testimony tending to
show the existence of a conspiracy be-
tween Quay. Haywood and Hopkins,
as charged in the indictment, to the
two years ending Nov. II, 1895 Law

While Senator Ouay was listenine, IN

| the break in the ranks at Harrisburg
The senator carefully adjusted his
glasses and read the dispatch then a
half frown came over his features and
his face turned from the witness to the
court room window, out of which he
gazed in a commemorative manner for
several minutes. He made no comment
to any one of those seated near him on
the news the telegram conveyed to
him.
Meyer Goldsmith, the expert account
ant, was on the witness stand less than
five minutes before being turned over
to the defense for ross-examination.
In that time Mr.. Rothermel brought
out the fact that on Aug. 3, 1896, $100, 900
