THE QUAY CASE.
The Senator Had Good Thing According
to the Testimony.

Philadelphia, April 1.-THE second
week of the trial Of ex-senator Quay on
charge of conspiracy began this morn
ing with the commemorative expert ac-
countant, Meyer Goldsmith, on the
stand The first question put to Gold
smith was relative to his Identification
Of a paper showing the results of his
examination of the bank books. These,
he said, were correct. District Attorney
Rothermel offered the paper in evil
dence, but it was met by strenuous
objection from Mr.. Shields, for the de-
fense. Judge Biddle sustained the OBJ
lection.
The effect of the decision is to require
a physical examination of all entries in
all books 1t will add days to the length
of the trial. Goldsmith testified that
loans to M. S. Quay during six months
in 1897 were $1s5,855, on which he paid
no interest. The amount Of interest paid
on the commonwealth funds for that
period of six months was $235,00O, of
which only $1519 was paid to State
Treasurer Haywood, the remainder be-
ing paid to C. H. Mckee.
Shields challenged the commonwe aith
in the interest of public justice to prove
one single transaction testified to by the
witness. This matter goes to the nub-
lie and does immense harm to innocent
men, he said.
The court: Your time has not come.
Make your challenge on cross -exam'na-
tion."
The witness stated that the books
showed that of the state deposit 20 per
cent was used by the bank without in
terest, 100000 was set aside for the use
of M. s. Quay, and the interest on the
balance was divided between M. s.
Quay, B. J. Harwood and G. H. Mckee.
Interest amounting to $527O was
shown to have been paid j. w. Morri-
son, the former state treasurer. Coun-
sci for the defense strenuously objected
| to the admission of this testimony, as
Morrison is not included in the charge
| of conspiracy against Quay. Judge Bid
die gave decision against the district
attorney, which, according to Quay's
counsel rules out all matter ante-dat-
| ing the statute of limitations.
The witness gave long list of call
loan borrowers who paid interest on
loans, which was appropriated he said,
| to pay interest on state funds to c. H.
Mckee and B. L. Haywood. The wit
ness continued giving testimony regard
ing state deposits and loans to, Quay
during other periods.
