well, what did you take the money
for, and why did you turn it over. For

mo, I merely took Il as you or any
one else would have taken It. AS a

purpose of bribery. didn't you? You
knew the money was to be the induc-
ing cause for the signing Of the con-
tract don't your"
81 don't know that did"
The witness said that he talked with
Mayor Bailey about the signing OF the
contract.
I'm that talk, did you disclose the
fact of the $1,00o?" asked Mr.. O'Brien.
He asked me about II and told
him."
Have you ever stated that you re-
ceived the money not In the city hall,
but in Purcells baths?"
mo, SIR"
Have you ever stated that you tried
to get $4,000 from Mckinney instead
of s1,000?"
mo. SIR"
Mr.. Finn was excused at this point,
and Richard J. Beamish, who was
Mayor Baileys clerk, was called. He
was examined by Mr.. Newcomb. Mr..
Newcomb called his attention to the
last day of Mayor Bailey's term. on
which date the appropriation ordinance
was signed by Mayor Bailey with one
item vetoed, namely, the item of s17.5OO
for the repair of the streets.

MELVIN ON THE STAND.

The next witness was one of the
defendants, Select Councilman Thomas
G. Melvin, who was examined by Mr.
Newcomb. He said he didn't posi-
lively know that Mr.. Mckinney rep
resented the Barber Asphalt company
at the time the contract was pending
in councils, but that he heard it ru-
mored. He didn't know but what he
talked with Mckinney about the pas
sage Of the ordinance but wasn't
positive.
Mckinney might have possibly said
that he's like to have the measure
pass, but he wouldn't be sure. Nc
Kinney, to the best of his recollec-
ton, had said nothing about certain
number of votes being required or
of the cost of passing the ordinance.
He met Mr. Mckinney at the ST.
Charles hotel with some of the coun-
cilmen but couldn't remember which
ones. He finally admitted that Nc
Kinney had met the following council
men at his place of business: John j.
Kearney, Edward James, John j. Shea,
NJ. j. Burns, p. F. McCann, II. T. Fell
lows and Thomas j. Coyne.
He couldn't say that at this meeting
the contract had been talked about. He
never heard of any money having been
paid the councilmen. He met West and
Rock, both employees of the Barber AS
phalt company. They came to his place
of business to see him socially. He
never talked with them about legisla-
ton. They had met some OF the coun-
cilmen there but what they talked
about he couldn't say.

COULD NOT REMEMBER.

Mr.. Beamish said he remembered see
Ing Mr. Mckinney in the corridor on
that day, but couldn't remember hav-
ing seen him in the mayors office. Mr.,
Newcomb asked him IL he had gone
into the city treasurer's office that
morning and had called out the mayor
who was there, telling him that Nc
Kinney wanted him, and If the mayor
came out and retired to his private
office with Mckinney. The witness
said he couldn't remember having done
so.
He said the mayor had asked him
that morning to write a message to
councils, vetoing the s17,500 item; that
he wrote 1T and took it up to councils,
both branches being in session.
You didn't hear any sum of money
spoken of in connection with the sign
ing Of this contract, did you?"
mo, SIR"
You have no knowledge, direct or
indirect. which would lead you to be-
lieve that there was any solicitation
on the part of Mr.. Mckinney or on
the part of Mayor Bailey, have you?"
Absolutely none, sir"
This finished the examination of Mr..
Mr.. O'Brien. The latter asked Mr..
Finn if when he was before the grand
jury he had been questioned about
the appropriation ordinance. and if
he had not told an entirely different
story than the one he had just told.
Mr.. Newcomb vigorously objected to
the asking of these questions for the
reason that Mr.. O'Brien was trying
to contradict the witness and the only
way he could do so would be to call
some of the grand jurors. all of whom
are sworn to secrecy.
Mr.. Finn said he knew he didn't
have to answer the questions, but
that he was perfectly willing to do So
He said he had been asked nothing
about the transaction. and had testi-
fled to nothing about it before the
grand jury.

1t will be noted that the dispatch

o'clock on the evening Of the lith in

and by several legation officials to
whom 1t was shown the date of Gen

believed that the word fifteen" should

fetal and unofficial have indicated that
the legations were relieved on the even
ing of 18th, Wcdnesdl,', after a day
of sharp fighting Minister Wa, The
Chinese representative and Minister
Taknhira of Japan were quite positive
on this point, all their official adviccs
being that the entrance to the city OF
Pcking was effected early in the even-
ing of Wednesday, the 18th instant.
The fact that only the fourteenth in
fantry and Rilcy's battery entered the
city, Ns shown by General Chailee's
dispatch, does not Indicate that the
ninth infantry and the marines, who
were 50 conspicuously gallant through
out the advance upon the capital, did
not participate in the engagement
which resulted directly in the rescue Of
the beseged legationers. 1t is pointed
out as likely that General Chatree
acting in consonancc with the other
commanders, divided his force, leaving
the ninth infantry and the marines
without the walls Of the city at n rear
guard to prevent the escape OF Chinese
troops by others gates than those
through which the allies entered, or
for some other excellent reason. Only
two buttalions of the fourteenth regi.
ment are with General Chatfee. They
comprise about 500 men. This would
indicate that only about one.third Of
General Chaffee's force actually had en-
tered the city at the time he sent his
dispatch. The fact that only eight OF
the American force were wounded,
none being killed, is regarded as
notable.
