Mr. jerome volunt eered the information
that his Office didn't get back the reports
until the day he set an expert accountant
on the Metropolitan books, March II.

The witness was asked il he knew where
any other copies OF the Hartle report were,
and he said that he had seen one copy In
the ONCE Of Anderson 4 Pendleton, attor-
vent the ratification OF the lease OF the
Metropolitan to the lnterurban company.
THE HUNT PoR sISEws OF WAR
Mr. Nicoll then brought out Amory's
itinerary in quest OF somebody with money
to help him fight the metropolitan. He
went first to Wormser. then to Keene, then
to Taylor, Keene's son-in- law, and finally
10 Braker. He could not do business with
the Wormsers because +: Ellery Anderson
had the notion that the Metropolitan was
paying ldF xe OlvlOeflus. AU1OTy KNEW "
wasn't Keene turned him down at the
start and Taylor took %. 400 worth Of inves-
tigation. Then he quit. Finally Anory
got BIaker TO go in and hire a lawyer and
talk about what would happen after they
had put the company in the hands Of a
receiver,
BRAKRR's DUMMY BID FOR WEST SIDE LINES
At the afternoon session Mr.. Nicoll in
troduced some documents bearing on the
bid made by Braker in 1897 Of ii coo 600
each for the franchises OF the Sixth and
Eighth avenue lines. Braker bid for these
franchises as private oitizen. The docu-
ments introduced by Mr.. Nicoll purported
10 show that Braker was really acting a. the
agent Of the Third Avenue Railroad Com
pany. and one Of the documents showed
that had Braker got the franchises the
Third avenue company would have given
him 10000 apiece for them and taken the
contract with the city OF his hands.
AMoRY IN THAT TOO.
O. And when Braker didn't get the fran
chses you got Il. G. Potter TO bring q civil
act ion TO com pel the city to accept Braker's
bidy A. had something TO do with II.
q. And the Court Of Appe als decided against
him? A. Yes. u did but the Metropolitan
had got cont rol OF the Third Avenue before the
suit had got to the Court Of Appeals, and RI
show you be fore I'm done who they bribed 9nd
how much they gave in connection with that
litigation.
Amory's counsel strenuously objected
