important witness yesterday. He said that

ence, and that William H. Sanford Gf1en's
campaign manager had told him that there were
three agreements in Mr.. Dady's safe one with
Guden and the others with Register Neal and
County Clerk Hartzheim. in which Mr.. Neal and
Mr. Hartzheim promised to give all the patron
age in their offices to the organization Mr.. At
terbury said that at a meeting of the Republi-
can Executive Committee prior to the county
convention. the right was given to Mr.. Dady to
name the candidate for Sheriff. He told of a
meeting in Mr.. Reiss's home at which all the
witnesses who had been called to testify before
Magistrate Higginbotham present. but that
il was impossible to pin Mr. Guden down to
anything definite with reference TO the patron
age in his office. Guden advised at that
time go Dady and demand the return or
the agreement Mr. Atterbury told Of con-
versation he had with Mr.. Sanford, in which
the latter declared: We are going to wipe
Dady out we are going to get even with him
for what he has done to us in the past"
Mr.. Sandford told that the agreement
between Guden and Dady in Mr. Dady's
safe" said the witness "and that he had on
one occasion taken two other agreements out Of
the safe one with Register Neal and another
with County Clerk Hartzheim. I afraid
of the whole thing. and didn't like to have any
thing to do with it, It looked suspicious to me-"
Mr. Atterbury declared that Guden promised
him number of places in his office, but failed
to keep his word. Sanford told him. he declared
that he had tried to get hold Of the agreement
with Cuden, but that Miss Cameron Mr.. Dady's
stenographer. always locked the safe even when
she went into the next room.

Il told Sandford that it was dangerous to en-
gage in that sort of business" said Mr.. After

Cameron $500 place If she would leave the
room with the door Of the safe unlocked. At
this Miss Cameron Immediately closed the door
of the safe and turned the combination"

amined. She knew Sheriff Guden and William
H. Sanford, but had no acquaintance with Bert
Reiss. She said the combination OF Mr.. Dady's
safe was known only to Mr. Dady and herself
and that the keys TO the inner compartments
were always in her possession. Asked II she had
ever seen the alleged agreement marked In
Of death forward TO Charles Guden" she
replied in the negative. She denied that Mr..
Sandford had offered her a position at S1,j1O a
year. or any sum Of money. IL she would leave
the ROOM so that he could take what he wanted
from the safe. Miss Cameron denied that any
papers had been removed from the safe since
Mr. Dady went TO Havana. or since the pro
ceedings had been begun. She said that all the
papers in the safe had passed through her
hands: that Mr.. Sandford had never spoken 10
no such document existed. Neither had she ever
heard OF any document involving Mr.. Neal nor
Mr.. HartZheim. She admitted that she had re-
ceived several cable messages from Dady from
Havana but said they related to business.
Mr. Schearn requested that search warrant
be issued. Magistrate Higgnbotham replied
that Miss Camerons testimony had put diff
ferent complexion the case. ard that he
would hear other witnesses for the defence be-
fore giving decision.
