court, spent all day the stand under direct
examination to-day.

refuted in emphatic terms virtually all the tes-
timony of Stanford B. Lewis. assistant TO Joseph

entered into a conspiracy TO cheat and defraud
the state.
SNYDER declared that he had tested the correct

every possible way safeguarded payments made
to the contractors. He said he not only required
Huston 10 certify and Sanderson 10 make afh-
davits that the bills were correct. but that ne
