Coroner Jackson Declares DIR. Chad
s0ick Vas Bribe Suggester.

Coroner Moses J. Jackson testified in his de-
fence yesterday at his trial charge of at
tempted bribery after Recorder Goff had decided
against him on the point raised by his counsel.
Frank Moss. Tuesday 1t was the contention of
Mr.. Moss that Coroner Jackson could not have
committed bribery, if he had received money
for discharging DR.. Alexander in the case OF the
negress who died from alleged criminal opera
ton, because the woman's body was in New-Jer-
sey. where she had died. and the Coroner never
had any jurisdiction In the case Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Rand quoted decision in the case
Of the Doodle Aldermen to show that the ques-
ton of the Coroner's Jurisdiction did not affect
the bribery charge.
Coroner Jackson denied that he had asked for
money from Benjamin Reass, DR.. Alexander
Counsel that he had offered to give money to
Mr. Chadwick to arrange for DR.. Alexanders dis
charge.
The first mention of money in the case, the
Coroner said, by Mr.. Chadwick He came to
my office" said the witness. "and said he wanted
SEQ. What said l. you want 800 from me?
Well he said, "a couple of hundred will do.
he did not go to the lawyer himself"
Later, the witness said, he was visited at his
house by Mr.. Reass who threatened TO raise the
question of jurisdiction If there was not an I'M
mediate examination in the DR.. Alexander case.
He said he told Mr.. Reass to 70 the District At
torney's office. they wanted 5000.
Benjamin S. Tindale, clerk in the Ccroners or
Coroner jackson: II want $500 for this case
