Was any money expended in Grants
campaign that did not pass through
your hands?" inquired Cosper.
II can't say OF my own knowledge;
/ suppose some of Grants money went
into that county, said the witness.
Who got that money!" continued
Mellick.
II cannot say of my own knowl-
edge" replied the witness There is
a gentleman residing in that county
who is a warm friend Of Mr.. Grants
He is not a politician and his name is
no issue in this examination If he got
any money he spent it like gentle
man.
.You acknowledge Grant money went
into that county?" queried Cosper.
s'Well, am under the impression
that I directed that some money be
sent into that county, under certain
conditions" was the reply. Il believe
that directed my clerk, Miss Lavtne,

"and by that time I can get his per-
mission to use his name. He is not
politician, and while there is no posi-

We wanted to assist in electing Re
publican Assembly. There were ten
districts where we placed money. that
leven the representatives knew nothing
Iof, nor do they to-day"
"Well, if any sack came into my
district, I would like to locate it,,

smiles.
Upon ascertaining the initials of
lGreen's clerk, Miss Adalane Levine, "
Burnett demanded that a subpoena is

dispensing money under Green's direc-
ton she would make good witness"
Mr.. Green objected to having his
clerk subpenaed and cited the statute
providing that clerks, stenographers,
ETC., shall not be required to furnish
information acquired in their official
capacity. The matter was finally drop

In reply to question by Sanford,
!. Mr.. Green said that the papers say
/ he and Brown are Grants managers,
but he asserted that neither had ac-
lcepted or ever would accept cent OF
Grants money.

Mellick. "How much money has he
had in this campaign"
II don't know replied Green. He

"Mr. Kelly has apartments in San
Francisco, where legislators are re-
quested to visit, has he not?" inquired
Mellick-
