Question Of Their Relations Dis
cussed in Court.

AN AIM OF THE GOVERNMENT
Strenuous Objection to the Admissi-
bility Of Evidence-11atter Allow
ed to Go Over.

The question of prior relations between
George e. Green and George w. Beavers
was brought prominently to the front
again today in the trial OF former State
Senator Green of Binghamton. N. T., and
Willard D. Doremus of this city In Criminal
Court No. /. under indictments alleging
bribery and conspiracy growing out of the
postal investigation.
Counsel for the government sought to
introduce in evidence a check purporting
to have been Endorsed by Green as presi-
dent of the Bundy Time Recording Com
pany at date some time before the period
covered by the indictments under which
the defendants are being tried. United
States Attorney Baker stated that the pur-
pose was to show that the proceeds of the
check. which was for 81, 900, had been paid
by Green to Beavers. and that the alleged
payment was made about the same time
that Green was actively interested in Sc
curing the appointment OF Beavers to the
salaries and allowances division OF the
Post Office Department.
Aim Of the Government.
Counsel said that the aim of the govern
ment was not to argue criminaiity In the
alleged transaction, but to show prior reia-
tions.
