Garner against Mayor Thompson, to
testify as to the character Of the
walks laid by Mr.. Gamers frm. and
which were afterwards torn up by
the mayor In his search for evidence
to prove that the walks were not up
to specifications.
Fred Toepel, for whom considerable
work was done, said that he was en-
tirely satisfied with the walks put
down by Nj. Garner. and he was con-
siderabiy surprised to find on his re-
turn home one day that they had been
broken and dug into by the mayor
and q number OF his friends. He ad-
mitted that defects had appeared In
promptly made when Mr.. Gamers at
tention was drawn to them.
Didn't you tell the mayor that you
couldn't get Mr.. Garner to make re.

Porter A. Tucker, treasurer OF the

that they always bought the best.
Asked as to the harm the alleged
libel had done Garner Bros, Mr.. Tuck
er said 1t caused his Arm to be very
careful In extending credit to them.
Mr.. Garner was called to the stand
shortly before adjournment, and told
of the troubles he had to get business
after the article complained OF ap-
peared. He said that people would
refer to the fact that the mayor had
called him a robber. and would refuse
to give them work, and some con-
tracts were Cancelled.
In reply to a question from Mr.. Hal
ly, Mr.. Garner said 1t was true that
he had cards printed, which he dis
played on his work. The cards read
as follows: This walk built by Gar

Mayor Thompson as robbers. Watch
