sion Form of Government.

Pittsburg. March 2i-The confessions OF
six men In the graft cases who appeared
before Judge Frazer to-day were accom-
panied by sensations. The climax came
when George 3. Anderson. former Select
Councilman. tainted as the court asked
him II he had ever received money for his
vote
Before the Judge could finish his question
Anderson had fallen backward, striking
his head forcibly or the hardwood floor
Of the courtroom. Attendants and attoT-
news rushed 20 his aid. and when ne was
revived he answered the judges questions
as though there had been no interruption.
Robert X. Cochrane. formerly men,
ber Of Councils. admitted receiving $500 TO
vote for the bank depOsitary ordinance and
S5oo for the ordinance vacating South Ith
street. His admissions startled Judge Fra
zer. who wanted 20 know how II came that
he received so much for voting for these
measures while other councilmen received
much less. CochTane was unable 10 make
a satisfactory explanation. lie insisted
that he had distributed none Of the money.
Judge Frazer pointed out the seriousness
Of the matter and said he would have 10
take the case under consideration. No sus-
pension of sentence was granted Cochrane
and he left the courtroom much disap-
pointed.
