John Wanamaker made the following
/ statement: The acquittal of Senator
Quay will be a disappointment of every
lover of justice and every friend of good
government throughout the United
States. 1t records with emphasis the
difficulty of convicting potent political
defendants charged with public crime
no matter how clear. convincing and
overwhelming the evidence may be. the
story of the corrupt use and speculation
in public money i'll Pennsylvania is an
old one. and has been a matter of
notorious accusation against long line
of state treasurers and political bosses
for many years. Mr.. Quay himself has
been again and again accused of par
ticipation in treasury jobbing by the
newspapers of this and other states,
with circumstantial detail.
Heretofore. however. ,the basis for
these accusations largely consisted of
oral testimony and of allegations by
political opponents. The case which
terminated today, unlike previous ac-
cusatfons, was founded exclusively up
on documentary proof in his own hand
writing and that of his friends and con-
federates. The evidence of his guilt
did not depend upon the veracity of any
man or men, but was supported eX-
clusively by his own letter and by writ
ten entries and statements recorded by
his trusted friends and supporters.
BY technical objection he excluded
the evidence offered to show that dur
ing his term as state treasurer he was
paid interest on satte deposits and also
the receipt of interest by subsequent
treasurers charged in the bill of indict-
ment as being co-consipirators with him
in crime, and finally failed to take the
stand in his own defense and submit
himself to cross-examination upon the
charges made This is n new
chapter of shame for Pennsylvania, a
new record of failure in the admins
tration of justice that will do much to
encourage corruptionists and public
plunderers generally throughout the
country. The first shout Of defiant eX-
ultation over his acquittal has pro-
ceeded from the governor of the COM
monwealth. who has promptly appointed
him United States senator without au-
thority and in violation of law and in
defense of the will of the people as ex-
pressed by the votes of the legislature"
