Charles E. Macrum. as consul of the

If the facts as stated in that letter are
true, the American government instantly
should call Great Britain to severe ac-

to national dishonor. The spectacle of an
American citizen, be he in private or pub

found impression. He detailed four diff
ferent conversations with his family ply
sician, DR.. Tracey, Of Helena. In two Of
these he believed the doctor attempted to
lay before him proposition to br.be him
in the Welcome case. In one of these con-
versations, Hunt related, the doctor had
said: 'There is a party hare who has
500. 900 and who wants to put 1t up if that
case can be thrown out of court"
The witness said he replied to this that
all the money in the United States could
not induce him to sacrifice his conscience
to the extent of granting additional time
in the Welcome or any other case.
Continuing, witness said after this
Tracey made an appeal to him to get off
the bench on account Of his health. he,
(witness) having been threatened with
lung trouble. Tracey told him If he con-
tinued he was sure to break down as the
position was very laborious. If he would
accept the proposition he could take a
rest. go abroad. visit the Paris exposition,
have nothing to worry about and thus in
definitely prolong his life.
Hunt said he appreciated what the doc
tor said about getting off the bench. but
he could not see his way clear to accept
the proposition.
The doctor then went away, witness tes-
titled, saying he would not have Justice
Hunt do anything he did not think was
right.
At the close of the direct examination,
conducted almost entirely by Chandler,
Faulkner, on behalf Of Clark, made a
FORMAL motion to strike out Hunts tes-
timony because it failed to connect
Clark's name with the proceedings and
was entirely collateral. The motion was
overruled and cross examination nro-
ceeded.
Hunt said before Tracey made the pro-
position to him he had considered him a.
man Of pre-eminently good character. He
did not believe the doctor realized the
enormity of the proposition.
Asked why he did not bring the matter
to the attention Of the public prosecutor.
witness replied he was so humiliated he
preferred not to disclose it.
You preferred to allow an attempt to
perpetrate such a crime to 60 unpunish-
ed?

me as judge

i did not take notice Of it," answered
Hunt.
After further examination Hunt was
excused and the committee ad-
jOurned to 2:SO.
