Father Egan's church. 1t followed that
the priest wanted to discuss the affair
with him and demonstrate. 1t was a
very delicate matter, so, Father Egan
states, he sent a brother priest to give
Cochrane the message. The latter re-
turned with the reply that Cochrane
had said he would visit the priest with
in few days. But he did not come,
and never has. Then the story leaked
out; Sheriff Taylor heard of II and in
corporated the facts in his letter.
After hearing Father Egan's dam
aging statement, given with extra re-
luctance, the Grand Jury sent for
Beardsley. Beardsley denied ever
having made such a. statement con-
cerning the passing OF a bribe. He
was called again at another meeting
of the Grand Jury and questioned
closely. but he maintained his posi-
tion. He was called a third time, and
Father Egan was there to confront
him. He repeated his denial. and the
priest repeated the accusation 1t was
man against man, word against word.
Sheriff Taylor promises to have his
witness corroborating Father Egan's 5
statement before the Grand Jury next
Monday, and maintains that Beardsley
is playing false.

entertained the suspicion" said Taylor
yesterday. that the money was paid

Cochranes do not let money slip
through their fingers so easily But

came from Beardsley, despite his pres
ent denials, that the money was ex-

have her character questioned.
The subject came up at last nights
