there. 1 went to the bank the next MORN

say that prior to February 3, 1903. Sullivan
had said that he was in favor Of the label

SENATOR SULLIVAN
GIVES HIS TESTIMONY.
Senator Sullivan was then put on the
stand In his own defense. He talked slowly
and distinctly. He said that he had lived
in Billings since 1878. was Representative
from Christian County in 1899. and was
elected to the Senate in 1901.
st first met Whitney Layton at the Madi-
son Hotel" he testified. zone evening when
ball was given there. 1 took Mrs. Sulli-
van upstairs and then came back down to
the ofice. Senator Smith came in. He had
a telegram from st. Louis. telling OF his
wife's illness Layton came up and Smith
introduced me to him. After some small
talk Smith walked away. Layton then be
gan talking about his bill told him that
I preferred the substitute and would vote
for It. He asked me If I did not think
money was used to kill the repeal bill in
1901. and 1 told him that had thought 80
at the time.
He said that II money was spent two
wears ago, It was certainly being spent
now and that was a fool to vote for
substitute II did not get something for 1t.
He said that If and some other Senator
would change. he would be willing to pay
a good round sum for support. I told him
that II it was a good bill, 1t did not need
money for passage. He replied that was
not the point, but that he had to fight his
way with the bill with fire. as that was the
way things were running in the Senate. He
said that he would pay 5000 for two votes
and that he had $500 in his pocket. He
said that he would have the other $500 the
last of the week. He said that he had
sixteen Senators who would stay with him

Attorney General Grow conducted the
cross-e1amination. The first thing that he
attempted to show was that Sullivan had
gone to s. Louis and there met D. J.
Kelley; had changed $1,000 bill at the
American Exchange Bank and had left
the State 30 that the Grand Jury could
not secure service upon him. This line of
questioning the court ruled out, holding
that these facts would have to be shown
by others.

talk about Iavton after the Madison Ho-
to, eni.ode4,
