WAS ONLY JOKING.

You know | never offered you a
bride, and that / was only joking in
our conversation concerning the Well
come case. You know ! had no 100000
with which to bride you and | am not
one Of that kind Of fellows"
Justice Hunt said he had replied TO
Dr. Tracey that he wished he could
believe that he was only joking, but
that he could not put that construction
on his proposition. He did not, how
ever, believe that DR. Tracey meant TO
actually bride him but simply 70 lay
the proposition before him. In answer
10 questions from the members OF the
committee. Justice Hunt said he
thought DR. Tracey had mentioned
Senator Cltrk's name In the first con-
versation when he had spoken Of the
Welcome case as merely a political
fight between Mr.. Clark and Mr. Daily.
He had first related the fact of the
propositions being made TO him on the
night OF August 3, when his associate,
Justice Piggott, had come to his house
and related that he had been Sap
preached on the same day.
At the close OF the direct examlna-
ton which had been conducted almost
entirely by Chairman Chandler. Mr.
Faulkner. on behalf OF Senator Clark
made a formal motion to strike out the
testimony Of Justice Hunt from the
record because Il had failed 10 connect
the name Of Mr.. Clark with the pro-
ceedings, aud was entirely collateral.
The motion was overruled and the
cross-examination proceeded.
Justice Hunt said that before Dr.
Tracey had made the proposition to
him he had considered him a man Of
pre-eminently good character. He did
not believe the doctor had stopped to
think OF the enormity OF the PROPOSE
ton, and he still regarded him as a
good man. Witness said he had first
told his story TO Judge Piggott. next TO
Judge Brantley. and afterwards 10
