| Goldsmith Makes Many Admissions That
Put a New Face on "A Number of the Al
legged Crooked Transactions = Counsel
Even Uses the "Red Book" He Fought
So Hard Against-Ouay Loses Fourteen
Votes at Harrisburg.
Philadelphia, April 19.-The defense
had its innings yesterday in the trial of
| Senator Quay, and it made the most of
Its opportunity Expert Accountant
| Meyer Goldsmith, the commemorative
witness. was under a scorching fire of
cross-examination all day. Nearly all
the apparently damaging entries at
tached to Quay's name or account in
the bank as testified to by Goldsmith in
direct examination were explained away
or greatly modified by the statements of
the commonwealth's own witness. Judge
Biddle's ruling had the effect of confin-
ing testimony tending to show the eXis-
tence of conspiracy between Quay.
Haywood and Hopkins. as charged i'll
the indictment, to the two years ended
Nov. II, 1898.
Valuable Evidence for Quay.
Lawyer Shields got from the witness
the admission that if Hopkins had prop
erly credited Quay's account with
diIiOuHlS lidl belonged IneTe lHe DOCKS
would show that at the beginning of the
alleged conspiracy, Nov. Il. 1896. the
senator owed the bank only S236, in
stead of over $4,000, as is al
legged. Taking up the allegation
that Quay had borrowed s1S5,0O0 during
the settlement period ended Oct. 81.
1897. the last settlement before the bank
closed, Shields forced from Goldsmith,
piece by piece. facts tending to show
that in nearly every instance the
amounts charged to Quay were really
loans to other persons, politicians most
ly. for whom Quay indorsed. Where
there was a definite loan to Quay the
repayment was clearly proven.
Claim of the Prosecution.
In this connection it might be well
to say that District Attorney Rothermel
claims that he has clearly established
the fact he started out to prove-name-
ly. that 100000 of the state deposit in
the bank was set aside for the use of
Quay. and whether he used it himself
or loaned it to others is not material in
proving the conspiracy.
Shields Tackles the "Red Book"
Shields put different complexion on
the entries in the red book by COM
pelling the witness to admit that many
of his figures were not proven by entries
in the regular bank books, but were the
result OF what he practically acknowl-
edged to be his ''gusses" at the mean |
ing of certain unintelligible figures writ |
ten in the red book Goldsmith was
still on the stand when court adjourned |
for the day and the questions put to him
near the close were full of promise of |
developments. Much of the |
sting was taken out of the famous |
shake the plum tree" telegram by the |
statement that the purchase of Metro |
pOlitan stock contemplated thereby was |
made with $4,000 of Quay's own mon |
ey. his deposit at that period exceeding |
$50. COO

today The coroner says:
''While the evidence goes to show
that the deceased came to his death
by violence at the hands Of another
the nature and situation of the wounds
on the abdomen and groins would ap-
pear in my opinion to indicate that the
deceased came to his death as the re-
suit CT fight rather than from DELHI
crate murder. I therefore find that
the body CT the male adult found en-
Scarborough beach and identified as
f. H. Shaw of Brooklyn came to his
death by reason of blows inflicted in
the region of the abdomen and groin5
by person or persons unknown, and
further that the deceased was dead

Summary of the Repairs by ObseT-
VerS for the Past Week.

Widely scattered showers have oc-
Cured in the northern and southern
sections, but the rainfall has been gen
orally deficient. The occurrence OF
| high winds is reported from YavapaI
county. The weather has been charac-
terized by warm days, couiless skies,
and cool nights. In Salt River valley,
the temperature for the week averaged
four degrees above the normal. The
greatest excess occurred during the
first part, the latter part of the week
being slightly below the normal The
sunshine has averaged 100 per cent for
the past three days, no clouds heing
visible during that period. Approx
mately frost forming temperatures
have obtained in sections of high ele-
Walton, but no damage has been re
ported
CROPS.
The harvesting OF grain which eX
tends over a period from the 18th Of
May to the middle of September. vary
ing according to the Elevation of the
locality, is about completed. The
yield of the late maturing crops viii
not compare favorably with the earlier
harvest OF the agricultural valleys OF
lower elevation, on account Of the
droughty conditions prevailing at the
critical period OF the growth of the
late maturing grain. Corn cutting is
in active progress in the northern tier
of counties, and the second crop OF
alfalfa has been cut and secured. A
good rain occurred in Coconino county,
during the week but it will prove ben
eficial only to the ranges, as the sea-
sen is too far advanced for crops
which have partially matured under
and droughty conditions,
to be benefited by the rainfall.
The appearance OF vast numbers Of
asshoppers in the southern and
southeastern sections is alarming the
farmers, and great damage to growing
crops has been done.
In Salt River valley the late grow
ing crops are doing finely, and some
fields of the fifth crop of alfalfa will
be cut during the present week.
Except in isolated places the ranges
are in good condition, the supply OF
water is ample, and stock is improving /
under favorable conditions.
