most of the leading stocks. the market
itself seemed In comparison with yester-
days excited trading a tame and uainter-

OF course. that It was one largely. a.
though by no means wholly. devoted to
realizing sales by speculative interests
who had either bought stocks yesterday
on the welcome news contained IN the

mony offered by any of the fiYe de-
PENDANTS or any of the witnesses VINO
were called in the cases of the men
charged with swearing falsely and
regist ering in a fraudulent manner,
indicated to any extent whatever
that any of the men in charge OF the
campaign of the Citizens & TaXpay-
ers' League ticket or that any man
running for office on that ticket had
influenced, directed, urged or aided
