compiish their nefarous purposes. This
scheme was concocted by men who MANNED TO
kill Oft political and economic enemies with

SORRY FOR McNAB.
After making it clear that this last
statement referred to Detectives Itch
enor and Hartling and Joseph S. Jor-
dan, Attorney Gator continued:
1 am friendly with Mr. McNab. 1 am sorry
that he has engaged in such practices as this
He is the leader of wing OF divided politi-
cal party that. when united. can elect any one.
and as such leader he has q good standing
and should have taken better methods to carry
out his ends.
McNab joined as heartily in the
laugh that followed this sally as any
Of the less interested audience.
Continuing, Gator ttacked the tes-
timony of Tichenor, Jordan and Hart
ling and referred to Jordan as a trail
Moore on that poets contempt for a
traitor. Gator referred to the traitor
end no more however, after 1t was
pointed out to him that in no event
could Jordan be a. traitor unless the
accused Senators were guilty as he
claimed
Gator laid great stress on variations Of
distances and locations as described in
the testimony of Tichenor and Hart
ling in opposition to contentious of
Jordan. He also laid stress on the fact
that Tichenor testified that when the
bills were handed to Emmons and Bum
kers they were rolled up, while Hart
ling testified they were unfolded when
handed to them by Jordan.
EXAMINER PLOT.
In conclusion Gator again appealed
to the committee to, suspend it's judg-
ment until after the trial In the crimi-
nal courts had been concluded and
then gave way to McNab.
McNab paid attention to the Exam
iner and said the conspiracy was
Matched in the office of that paper and
grew from the time the pictures Of the
Washington crossing the Delaware
were published by it as those of the de-
tenders of the peoples rights. No pic
lures of the other three members of
the Committee on Commissions and
Retrenchment-Cog Rambo and
Bauer-were published. The kilograms
were to the other four, French being
the one who was looked to for action
The speaker admitted that he had
natural under the circumstances, he
said. William r. Hearst, owner of the
Examiner, had started out to ruin him
because he had opposed him politically.
He was trying to crush McNab and
whatever persons and institutions he
was connected with. McNab related
some of the well-known history of
Hearsts fights against him.
To show that Grange acted in good
N 1nx x-ir, %,-,x~ <oI, -,
Senators, and that he had no intention
of really trying to bribe, McNab recited
the fact that Grange had sent the
money he had collected for the purpose
Of laying the trap to the Bulletin Of
flee, where 1t was exchanged for
marked bills to be sent to Sacramento
Had Grange been acting otherwise
than in good faith he would not have
turned his money into a newspaper Of
flee to be substituted for bills that
could be identified.
Referring to the fact that Grange was
being pursued outside the Senate court
Of inquiry, McNab said that one Of the
worst charges made against him was
that he bought his wife good clothes.
In concluding the attorney said his
side had given the committee all it's
knowledge of the bribery, presenting
everything fully and promptly, answer
ing every process ana producing every
thing called for.
Chairman Belshaw announced that
the committee would hold no more pub
lie meetings, but would hereafter meet
in executive session until 1t had thor
oughly gone over the evidence and de-
cided on its report to the Senate.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the bribery scandal involving four
State Senators will bring in its report
as soon as possible. This decision was
reached at an executive meeting Of the
committee held Immediately after the
session in the Senate chamber tonight.
The committee decided that the re-
quest of the counsel for the accused
Senators that the report be postponed
until after the findings of the criminal
court could not be granted.
