ed that George B Cox, formerly re-
publican leader in Hamilton county,
had tried to influence the Judgment
of that court i'm a suit involving a two
hundred thousand dollar bond, while
a third Judge testified that Cox had
simply asked him that the case he
given a fair and impartial hearing
when it came up ON an appeal.
The testimony came at the close of
day devoted to testimony regarding
the purchase of turnpikes, much of it
of comparatively minor Importance
The judges of the circuit cour. had
been subpoenaed as witnesses, the
general understanding being that they
were to appear with personal interest
in one or another of the turnpikcs.
The examination, however. took an
entirely different turn. Judge Jelke,
of the circuit court, was the first wit
ness. Attorney Roetlinger called at
tention to the suit brought In 1890 by
the city against the Lane and Bodlpy
company and the American Bonding

court had given judgment for $23S,-

Il said" Mr.. Cox, that case will be
tried on its record just like any other
case
what did Mr. Cox say in repiy?"
"Thcrc was very little said. lie said
he had seen one Of his associates on
the bench. My impression was that
he was not pleased"
Judge Jelke said the case had f.
nally been decided; that he voted to
