SALISBURY AGAIN ON STAND
Resumes Testimony in Michigan
Water Scandal Case.
Ex-AIdernan johnson on the Rack
Latter offered to Support
Deal for $1,000.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. 5.-The ex-
animation of Alderman Charles T..
johnson, charged with accepting bribe
from Liant K. Salisbury to support the
Lake Michigan water deal, in aid of
which Salisbury alleges he bribed a
score or more of prominent citizens, in
cludlng the managers of three local
newspapers, was taken up in police
court Friday. Salisbury had sufficient
ly recovered to again take the stand as
witness. He was unable to remember
any more than the substance of various
conversations with Johnson in the sum-
mer of 1900, but stated that Johnson
agreed to support the water deal for
81 900 in cash, $3.50 of which Salisbury
said ne paid him.
Salisbury said: "A little while after
1 offered Johnson $1,000. further
promised him $4,000 in bonds. He did
not ask for them, the proposition being
made by me Voluntarily"
On cross-examination Salisbury said
he did not at first approach Johnson
himself, Corey P. Bissell, of the board
of public works, who waived examina-
ton in the police court on bribery
charge, going to him. The reason for
this was, according to alsbury, that
Bissell and johnson were friends and
that in case of an exposure Salisbury
believed Johnson would not be so quick
to give Bissell away as he would himself.
He said, however, that he did not ask
Bissell to approach Johnson.
Salisbury could not tell the number OF
times he talked with Johnson about the
deal, nor could he tell the date of the
payment, saying merely that it was be-
tween June and September. Salisbury
said he also gave Johnson $500 or 5000
for his campaign and that he contrib
uted money to the fund of every demo-
cratic candidate for alderman
Five of the respondents, whom Sals-
bury charged with accepting bribes, had
expected to be arraigned in the superior
court Friday. Their cases were not
reached, however, and they were in
structed to appear Saturday morning
They are Corey P. Bissell, ex-member OF
the board of public works, and Alder
men John T. Donovan, Clark E. Slocum,
John McLachlan and Abraham Ghysels,
all of whom waived examination in the
lower court
