'aTichenor. as I now know him. tolo
me all he wanted was some ASSURANCE
that | would do the right thlng anu
pay the money, and asked me IL l
could arrange to pay it so he could see
me. L said 1 would try IL, ana asaiii
went to the State Capitol to see the
Senators. Bunkers told me they
couldn't trust a stranger, and that un
less some other plan could be agreed
on it would be the end of the matter.
I agreed to meet Tichenor at the Golden
Eagle at 5 clock, but he did not come.
''Afterward he told me he went
down to the Western because he dldn
care to be seen. 1 asked him II any
one knew him. He said he knew En-
mons. Finally he said he would be
satisfied if L took the money and DIS
tributed it to the rest. 1 finally told
him that 1t would be all right for him
to see me pay the men.
PLANS DECEPTION.
"It was my purpose to pretend to
carry out some. plan he might suggest
and make him think l had paid them
while he was looking, but 1t was not
my intention to do so.

took the money out of his pocket ana

small rolls and 1 put two of them into
my right hand trousers pocket, one into
my left hand trousers pocket and one
into my right hand vest pocket.
He said he would have the extra
500 for me by o'clock and l then
left him and went into Hanlon's sa-
loon, where l met Emmons. He and
1 came out and walked diagonally
across the street, where we saw Mar
-, 70 with friends
We also met Senator Welch and sa-
luted him and went down to the club
at 1109 Eighth street We looked
around there a few minutes and then
came out.
"Tichenor was on the corner Of K
and Eighth streets, across K street
from US. We walked south on K
street, and when about the middle of
the block I told Emmons / would
shake hands and say good by. We
passed Bunkers and 1 hailed him
and told him l would see him soon.
At Ninth and K streets l shook hands
with Emmons, and as I did SO l
placed in his hands one Of the rolls
of bills.
He put the bills in his pocket and
went on his way. returned and met
Tichenor and asked him if he had seen
me pay Emmons. He said yes that It
was all right. then told him would
see Bunkers.
'I crossed the street and met Bun
kers near the Clunie Opera-house and
we walked UP K street and turned up
Eighth near Hanlon's saloon. A little
way from the corner we stopped and
I took out one of the rolls of bills,
shook hands with him and gave him
the money in the shake. He took 1t
and we separated. I rejoined Tichenor
and he told me that he had seen me
pay Bunkers and that it was all right.
TALK WITH FRENCH.
Senator Simpson carried Jordan back
to the conversation with French, who
had asked the witness whether it was
the Pacific Coast Company that was
mentioned among those to be protected.
Upon being informed that it was the
Pacific States French said that was all
right, but that he would not stand for
the other company-the Pacific Coast.
Testifying about the attempt to find
French and Wright at the committee
headquarters at S17 Tenth street, JOr
dan corroborated the testimony of
Tichenor UP to the time the detective
left him in front Of the place. Jordan
brought himself and the detective to
the headquarters and then said:
"Tichenor said we were a little late,
that they had evidently all gone inside.
l couldn't get inside at all. French
sent out word by the colored man that
he wouldn't see any newspaper men.
told the colored man to go back and tell
him it was Jordan. The man came back
and said he could not get in at all.
Tichenor then went down town, after
had told him / would meet him in front
of the headquarters at 10 o'clock.
II waited there and saw the whole
committee come out. 1 walked down
Tenth street, but didn't find Tichenor.
The members of the committee went
their way, but I waited half an hour
along there for Tichenor. Then /
thought I would go to the Western
Hotel where he roomed, and try to
find him there. L met him on K street,
a little below the Golden Eagle Hotel.
He said he didn't understand that I
was to meet him on Tenth street.
Ibid you pay them?' he asked, and
1 replied. Why, certainly
"I am sorry / didn't see you,' he
said. but that is all right as long as
you paid the money.
He then asked me If we should go
some place where he could give me the
money coming to me without being
seen, and 1 said No, pay me right
here and he gave me three fifty-dollar
bills. Then he went to the depot after
the other 500, which he said was
around somewhere.
PAYS COIN TO FRENCH.
''Then I met French and asked him
to go with me to the Irish Tavern at the
corner of Seventh and 1 streets. We
walked down Seventh street to ].
where we were overhauled by Senator
Carter. After he left us we walked
on and about a quarter of block far
ther toward / street. / said to French.
