Eddie Graney, who held the purse OF

eighteen Supervisors. arrived in this
city last evening from the southern
part of the State. The honest black

clined to be interviewed about the
Grand Jury investigation. He lodged
reporters and others who might talk
with him on the subject.
But he flew to the counsel Of his old
enemy, Jim Coffroth, once a partner
in the fighting game and in the Belve-

common danger, the two men patched

In evidence showing that the rooms had
been rented by Halsey.
Taylor was followed on the stand by
John T. Cannon, rent collector of the
Mills building, who testified that Hal
sey had not only rented, but had paid
for the rooms. Cannon was able to
supply the details In regard TO the oc-
cupancy of the rooms by Halsey. The
tenant had said that his occupancy was
to be merely temporary and he had In
no way fitted UP the place. There was
almost no furniture in the rooms and
no attempt had been made to fit them
up as Offices.
F. W. Eaton. secretary of the teIe-
phone company added materially to his
testimony of the day before, explainin q
the organization of the Pacific States
Company and the latitude allowed Hal
sey in the matter Of expenditures.
e. ]. thinner, former auditor of the
Pacific States Company, was the most
important witness of the day. He
showed the company's books, which re-
yealeo the expenditures of HaIsey.
thinner told the members of the jury
that he had been ordered to audit Hal
sey's account and to pass 1t as correct.
He said that 1t was his habit while
auditor TO examine all accounts. but
that in the case of Halsey's expendi-
lures at the time the bribe money was
passed. he was ordered to pass 1t as
correct without examination
The testimony of thinner was the
most sensational of the day It prac-
tically passed the matter UP to the
higher officials of the telephone COM
pany. thinner said that he took his
orders from Manager Louis Glass of the
company.
7. q. Sherwin, present auditor of the
Pacific States Company, was the next
witness. Sherwin showed a disposition
not to remember and he will be given
an opportunity today to add to his
testimony.
II II. Jacobson of Alameda. an en-
ploye OF the Pacific Steel and Wire
Company, was called to the witness
stand, but excused soon after, as it
was discovered that he did not have
the information that the prosecution
desired. Another official of the cor
poration will be called today.
c. ]. Hall was the last witness of
the day He is the private secretary
of T. V. Halsey, the man who passed
the money to the Supervisors He
told Of Halseys visits to the offices
in the Mills building, but professed
ignorance as to the purposes of these
excursions. Hall may be recalled be-
fore the conclusion of the investiga-
tion.
The Grand Jury before adjournment
ordered indictments prepared against
a mysterious go-between who had as
sisted Halsey. The Indictment will be
filed today.
A lively session will be held today.

5auntily into the Jury-room TO pour
forth his confession He told in de-
tail how he had received money in the
FIVE separate transactions-$eoo from
the fight trust, $1,000 from the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany $500 from the Home Telephone
Company, $3.50 from the gas company
and $4,000 from the United Railroads.
Furey had forced Ruef to give up
every time. In some instances Ruef
had been able to hold out on members
OF the Board Of Supervisors, but Furey
never allowed a chance to go by. In
the first five months he spent on the
board he received s1s,76o In bribes.
sANDERsoN's STORY READ
After Furey had confessed, the writ
ten confession made by Supervisor San
derson TO HeNey was read TO the Ju-
rors. This completed the confessions
with the exception Of that of Duffey.
He has not yet been before the Grand
Jury. II Is understood that he will
give his testimony today.
Sanderson's confession was given TO
Heney In Palo Alto on Sunday. The
Supervisor and Heney had been school
mates in San Francisco. They had
known each other as billy and
ETauK. ana were d4Wdsu C4Occ DOI-
hood friends. Sanderson was one of
the FIRST Supervisors to weaken. He
was brought from Arizona, where he
had gone for his health, In order to
confess. Up to yesterday II was
thought that he would appear before
the Grand Jury. but his health was
such that II was decided to read his
confession to the Jurors instead. In his
confession Sanderson told how he had
g. !, e.
Telephone Company franchise. $3.50 for
his vote on the gas rate and $500 for
his vote on the prize fight permits.
Sanderson had been chairman of the
committee OF the board which dealt
with prize fight permits and had played
a prominent part in the negotiations
which led I'D to the deal with the
members OF the fight trust
Furey was followed into the jury
room by H Il Taylor, representative
on the Pacific Coast OF D. o. Mills Tay-
lor took his books into-the jury room,
and from them was able TO testify that
T. v. Halsey OF the Pacific States Tele-
phone Company had rented a suite of
rooms IN the building. These rooms
were specially engaged for the. pur-
pose Of bribing the Supervisors. The
transaction took place short time be-
fore the FIRE.

$4,000 in connection with the trolley
deal was sufficient for the rank and
file. Gallagher obtained $4,000. For
standing pat with the Home Telephone
Company he received $4,000, those
who had already sold out to the Pa
cihc States company getting but s3600
and those who remained still to be
bought getting $4,000. Gallagher
''played SQUARE" He didn't take any
thing from the Pacific States Telephone
Company, but what he got from the
rival corporation made up for the loss.
His total receipts amounted TO Szo,zoO.
Next to Gallagher, Supervisor Wilson
played the craftiest game. 1t cost the
United Railroads $4,000 to bring him
into the fold, and he got in on both
sides of the telephone DEAL making his
total s19,750. Wilson was one of the
eight who showed themselves really
worthy of being bribed. He never
missed a chance.

telephone game, and his meager $3.50
came from three sources-s4000 from
the United Railroads, $3.50 from the
gas company and $500 from the fight
trust.
Supervisor Boxton, who, in an inter-
view, on Tuesday, exclaimed, IT have
been an honest official" probably bases
his conception of honesty on the fact
that he was loyal to one side in the
telephone deal. He received money
from the fight trust. the gas COM
pany, the United Railroads and the Pa
cific States Telephone Company but
after accepting $4,000 from the latter he
refused to take the $500 offered by
the Home Company. The other Super
