With the prosecution nearing the
end of its case in the Sutton trial, the
complexion of the people in the court
room is changing. The friends and
relatives of the respondent are be-
ginning to appear and the faces of
bankers and others concerned with
those engaged in the conspiracy are
passing from view. The diamond
salesman and boolSkeeper for Wright

sutton on the Stand.

More interest was shown in the SUIT
ton trial on the 23d than since it be-
gan, owing to the fact that the defense
began to put in its case and the respon-
dent was on the stand nearly all day.
He was not able to get through his di-
rect examination as his testimony nee
essarily had to cover a lot of ground
and Mr.. Stevenson did not allow sin
gle point to go unnoticed. In general
Sutton testified that he never knew
anything about the military deal or
that White was going to make any
money out of the sale of the military
supplies. He said that Gen. Marsh
called on him June 81 and asked for an
opinion relative TO the power of the
military board to sell some secondhand
supplies left over from Camp Eaton.
and that the only information he had
came from White and Marsh. His bank
accounts he explained at great length,
explaining the source of the various
moneys he deposited on the days that
the prosecution claimed the military
swag was divided.
In support of his testimony that
he loaned White $500 for 30 days
and received $3.50 interest, he pro-
duced letter he had written to
his wife at Sodus, n. V, in which he
explained to her that White had been
seeking a loan from him and discussed
the advisability of advancing the 81, 500
to him. He also produced copy of
the telegram he sent to her the next
day in reference to the same matter
Sutton also related the circumstances
of his getting s., 900 from Tom L. john
son on September 10 in connection with
the expenses incurred by the street
railway commission and the final dis
position he made of the money. He
said that Johnson wanted to pay the
expenses of the commission, amounting
70 S4, 900, that he contributed So, 600 to
a fund that was to be used in case Gov.
Pingree decided to run for mayor and
gave Sutton $1,000 for his own ex-
penses. He stated that on January 4,
1900, he returned 50, 900 TO Johnson by
a certificate of deposit and that when
he took a check for 81, 800 TO him on
January 25, johnson told him to keep it
to use for his lawsuit and pay it back
when able.

The weather crop bulletin issued on
the 22d says the weather has been very
favorable to wheat, rye meadows and
pastures. Wheat has made some i'm
provement, but still continues very
poor, and in some cases is being plowed
up for other crops. Meadows and pas
lures are generally in very good condi-
ton. Rye is heading in the southern
part of the state. Oats and barley have
terminated finely. The cool, wet
weather has delayed field work some
what, but good progress has been made
in corn and potato planting. Early
potatoes are coming up in the southern
counties and will be ready for cultiva-
tion next week. Considerable ground
for beans has been prepared and sugar
beet seeding has now generally begun
in Bay county. All fruit is blossom
ing very heavily and at present is in a
very promising condition, except that
apples in few localities have been at
tackled by worms and tent caterpillars.

Regarding his trip to New York to
get money from Tom l.. Johnson with
which to pay the expenses of the street
railway commission, Sutton told Prose-
cutor Tuttle that he did not remain in
New York over night for two reasons
because he did not wish to go about
with SO much money on his person and
because he was anxious to report to
the commission. When questioned
more closely, he admitted that he did
not report to the commission immedi-
ately on his return, and finally denied
that he returned home for that partic-
ular purpose.

sutton's Securities Were Worthless


The direct and the cross-examination
of Eli r. Sutton occupied the entire
time of the court in the Sutton trial on
the cath. In closing his direct exam
ination Sutton admitted that he and
Gen. Marsh gave Gen. White diamond
ring. His reasons for joining in the
gift were that Gen. White had helped
him draw his salary as colonel and had
given his brother a position as inspec-
tor. Furthermore. Sutton said he
thought he could afford TO do some
thing for the man who had paid him 10
per cent interest a month for loan
He denied that he even knew Israel Il.
Cowles, of the Union Trust Co., by
sight, or that Cowles knew him by
sight. Cowles is the witness who tes-
tilted that he rode with Sutton on n
train to Lansing, Sept. IL, and talked
with him part of the way.
The first important testimony that
developed in the REORGANIZATION of
Sutton related TO his alleged loan TO
Gen. White. In letter introduced by
the defense, which was written by SUIT
ton to his wife last fall when the al
leged loan was under consideration
Sutton, in explaining his reluctance to
lend White the money, said he would
do nothing unless the security was
gilt-edged" In his cross-examination
ON the above date he admitted that he
really had no security at all except
Whites word, as he did not record the
deed of the Detroit property and the
stock of the knitting company.

The Goth was rather slow day in
the Sutton trial. 1t was expected that
the redirect examination of Col. Sutton
would be taken up, but this program
was changed in order that witnesses
who desired to return home could be
examined.
Harry II. Williams, of Sodus, n. V,
Mrs. Sutton's brother, told of meeting
Col Sutton in New York on Oct. last
and taking with him a check of 81 ,OOO
for wedding present that had been
promised Mrs. Sutton at the time of
her marriage, but held until they got
ready to build home. He also testi-
fed that on this occasion he arranged
for the purchase of two mortgages on
Detroit property recently received by
White and Marsh, and to let Col. SUIT
ton have an interest of 81 900 in these
mortgages on condition that the latter
deposit to his wife's credit the $1,000
paid him that week by the Remington
Arms Co. These two mortgages aggre-
gated 50, 800, and it was arranged that
Sutton should purchase them with the
Tom Johnson money in his possession,
Williams to advance the $4,000 when
ever johnson wanted the money.
Mr.. Williams was unable to produce
the wedding check, saying that it had
been destroyed, but he produced a stub
for this check which was dated consec-
utively, and the witness admitted on
cross-eXamination their place in the
book was not conclusive of the day
they were drawn. The Williams check
for the $1,000, money TO be returned to
johnson, was dated Jan. 6, and to-
gether with the letter transmitting it

Kentucky's oovernorship Case Settled.

The U. 5. supreme court on the 21st
decided the Kentucky governship case
in favor of Gov. BeclIham, dismissing
the writ of error from the Kentucky
court of appeals. The opinion was
handed down by Chief Justice Fuller,
and vigorous dissenting opinion was
delivered by Justice Harlan Justices
Brewer, Brown and McKenna also dis
sented from portions of the opinion.
The case was dismissed for want of
jurisdiction. Fire bells were rung and
wild demonstrations occurred on the
streets of Frankfort by Democrats
when the news of the decision was re.
ceived from Washington. The decis-
ion means that there will be the hot
test election in Kentucky for governor

sutton's Grand Jury Story.

Prosecuting Attorney Tuttle con-
tinued his cross-examination of Col.
Sutton on the 25th, going over various
portions of his testimony in detail
Judge West allowed the prosecution
more latitude in questioning Sutton as
to what he testified TO before the grand
jury and how he explained his bank
accounts before that jury. Sutton adj
mitted that he did not show the grand
jury his savings deposit containing the
IS, 500 item, but maintained that he
was not asked directly about it, and
the prosecutor tried to show that SUIT
ton misled the grand jury. Other ques-
tions indicated that the prosecution
will claim that Sutton made an en-
tirely different statement regarding
his bank accounts to the grand jury.
Sutton admitted that he gave a differ
ent explanation of some of the items,
but said that he believed he was tell
ing the truth at the time. Two of the
grand jurors were in the court room
listening to his testimony and the pros
ecution probably intends to call them
on rebuttal for impeachment purposes.
State Oil Inspector Judson and Cor
poration Counsel Flowers both testi-
fed positively that they were with
Sutton at Gov. Pingree's residence on
the night of Sept IL. and Frank a.
Rasch testified that he ate lunch with
Sutton on that day. This testimony is
to contradict the theory of the defense
that Sutton went to Grand Rapids on
the $40 train, and the testimony of l.
Il. Cowles who testified that he met
Sutton and Marsh on that train.
From the present outlook the trial
will take up nearly two weeks longer.
