TAYLOR RECOMMENDS RULING.
Councilman Hodges Objects to
Time Consumed at Hearing,
but President Hornsby
Gives Adverse Ruling.

Councilman Hodges yesterday objected to
the manner in which the attorneys were
questioning witnesses at the trial Of City
Register FftzGibbon. He declared they were
taking up too much time.
Mr.. Hodges said the attorneys were too
particular concerning what he termed
trivial details. and offered a motion that
they be limited In their examination Of wit
nesses.
President Hornsby told Mr.. Hodges that
tie FitzGiboon trial was but one Of the
many Objectionable incidents to which n
Councilman is subject. While he agreed
with him that much time was being con-
sumed, he said ii was but a matter of fair
ness to allow the attorneys to bring out all
the facts in connection with the case.
The controversy began when Attorney
Campbell. for FitzGibbcn. objected to the
admission of estimates on printing jobs fur
nished by the Woodward q Herman Print
ing Company. He claimed that Henry o.
Siegmund, a salesman for the firm, could
not swear to their accuracy.
The witness stated that he had not
figured the estimates, all of which showed
to be lower than the prices at which the
City register mad awarded contracts.
Campbell objected to the witness giving
pared. n asked that the testimony be
stricken from the records.
CAMPBELL ADDRESSES COUNCIL.
In response to Mr.. Hodges remarks,
Attorney Campbell addressed the Council.
This is indeed a serious matter SO far as
my client is concerned" said Mr.. Campbell.

men would not allow the admission Of evil
dence that is not founded on absolute fact
and sworn to-
City Attorney Taylor stated it was his de-
sire to be fair with the defendant. and he
recommended that the estimates furnished
by persons other than Slegmund should
not be admitted as evidence at this time.
Mr.. Siegmund was then asked to give the
name of the person who had prepared the
estimates. On so doing the name was noted
for future reference. Tie person who made
the estimates will be called as a witness.
On croSs-examination, Mr.. Siegmund tes-
titled to the good character of The Defend
ant, and added that his firm had frequently
bid on contracts which had been advertised
by the City Register.
Thomas NJ. Jenkins. a printer. testified
that 6S cents for 1,5G0 impressions of a single
page of ordinance copy was a fair and rea-
sonable price. On cross-eXamination he
identified a contract whereby his firm had
charged the city $50 for the same amount
of work.
It is charged that FitzGibbon awarded
for printing ordinances at prices
far in excess of 6S cents a page. The Coun-
Gil adjourned at $50 p. M. to meet Monday
afternoon at go o'clock.
