But Paid No Interest on Il
Whatever
SAYS THE STATES EXPERT
Books Show That Large Sums Were
Paid to the Senator During a
Period of Six Mouths

Philadelphia April 1.-THE Quay trial
opened this morning with Meyer Gold
smith, the commemorative expert ac-
countant on the stand. The first Ques-
ton was relative to Gotlsmith's identiti-
cation of a paper showing the result OF
his examination of the bank books. The
district attorney offered the paper in evil
dence but was met by objections from
the defense. Judge Biddle sustained the
objection on the same rule of procedure
| that excludes a deposition. The effect
of this decision is to require the physical
| examination of all entries in all the
! books.
| The defense objected to the witness dis
| closing what the books showed with re-
spect to the commemorative deposits for
the period ending October q, 1897. The
objection was overruled and witness said
loans to Quay during that period were
| $1S5, ,S55. Witness was then asked how
much stock the books showed purchased
| for Quay during that period and he an
| swered $143200.
state whether the books show that
| Quay paid any interest on those loans?'
asked the district attorney.
Objected to and objection overruled.
None whatever on loans which were
| used for the purchase of stocks or for
| loans which were not so uSed.''
| What amount of interest was paid on
| the commemorative fund for that period
of six months?''
'Twenty-three thousand five hundred.
! The state treasurer was paid $1,5l9 and
/ the balance OF interest on the state de-
| posit was paid to c. Fl. Mckee
! In answer to question the witness
/ said the books show that of the state de-
| posit 20 per cent was used by the bank
without interest 100000 was set aside
for the use Of Quay and interest on the
| balance was divided between Quay, Hay
! wood and Mckee. The defense asked
| that the witness be made to produce the
entry showing that anything was set
| aside for Quay. The judge declined, say
| ing that if the statements were false they
! can be so proven on DISCRIMINATION.
! Witness said the books showed the fol-
| lowing balances due by Quay at certain
| periods during the six months for which
no interest was paid and upon which
! calculations of interest were made at the
| end of the period April 80, 1897, $56,292;
| May 10, $51 ,292: June II, $66, 500; July q,
| $53O12: August so, $61 ,625. He said it re-
manned at the latter amount at the end
| of October. '97. Witness then entered the
period from October 3. 1896, to April so,
| 1897, and said the books for that period
showed $272, ,595 was borrowed by Quay,
At this point the court took a recess.

GENERAL OTIS IS
MAKING HIS PLANS

New York, April IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: When
shown dispatch announcing the recall
of General LaWtOn, BriGadier General
Schwan, acting adjutant general, said it
was in accordance with the understand
ing at the war department as to the pur-
pose of General Lawton's campaign.
General Otis sent this expedition to
southern Luzon,' he continued, "for the
purpose of destroying any insurgent
forces that might be found there, to make
o careful reconnaissance of the territory
and to spread broadcast the recent proc
lamation of the Philippine commission
setting forth the purposes of this govern
ment with respect to the islands. | eX-
pect he will clear all the prisoners he has
taken and they will be sent to their
homes. BY this action it is hoped he will
prove to the I'ilipinos that the Americans
are not as barbarOus as the insurgents
pretend we are and that we propose to
treat the Fllpinos humanely. Why is
General LawtOn needed in Manila? Cen
eral Otis has not communicated his plans
to Washington, the matter having been
left entirely to his discretion The in
surgent leader has established his head
quarters at San Fernando, northwest of
MalOiOS, and | suppose General Otis con-
templates movement against that city.
General LaWton only had 1900 men under
his command and it was of course i'm
possible for him to divide his force by
stationing detachments in every village
captured. His command will be useful,
however, in assisting in the advance on
Malolos or in reinforcing the line about
the city of Manila. 1t is possible that
when the lake rises General Otis will re-
sumo the campaign in the southern part

THE present prospect IS that 100 200

Immediately. All the territory he cap
tured will be evacuated and the launches
he seized will be restored to their original
ownerS-that is to say. they will be given
back to the persons from whom Aguin-
aldoS soldiers took them. After giving
the opinion that 100000 men will be re-
quired to subdue these islands, General
Lawton explained the situation to the
World correspondent as follows:
THE difficulties in the way are those of

traversed. But leaving garrisons behind

spiracy and bribery cases against former

are now awaiting sentence. The three men
arrested today were arraigned before a

mitted in default Of $4,000 bail each, for
further hearing next Friday afternoon.
Little was developed at the hearing. Oper
atives Burns and Griffin testified to making
the arrest and United States District At
torney Beck asked that heavy bail be re-
quired as, in his opinion. the crime of in
iuencing jury almost capital offense
He further said that the government would
contend the defendants were simply the tools
of others. The overt act, Mr.. Beck said,
consisted in the fact that on Saturday Octo-
ber IA, two Of the three defendants had ap-
preached the brother-in-law of one OF the
Ingham and hewitt jurors with the re-
quest that he influence the Juror to vote
against conviction. The Juror was to re-
ceive $500 and the brother-in-law $500.
The district attorney asserted that other
attempts were made to bribe not only the
juror in question, but others. The name
of the juryman was not divulged.
