the Republican committee official.
Colonel Mccarthy openly announced
that he had had one of the affidavits
locked up in his safe for months, say
ing nothing about it and waiting until
he could use it during the campaign
against the Republican party.
Out of the mess emerged the fact
that the sum of five hundred dollars
passed in March last between Cohen
and Andrews. Neither denied this
transaction. Andrews stating that this
amount was paid him as Cohen's attor-
nev in a personal matter, statement
that Cohen confirmed. Andrews again
stated emphatically that he had never
received a cent from Cohen for political
purposes. in spite of all the attempt
made to show that this five hundred
was given him to do politics for Cohen.
Andrews scored heavily when he de-
fed anyone to produce anyone to say
that ne had ever worked for Cohen
politically The only one who took up
the dare was John Wise. who stated
that he had refused an offer from An
drews of $3.50 month to work for
Cohen because the offer was not big
enough As everyone present knew
Wise and his price, this statement came
as relief, affording an opportunity for
a smile.

headquarters was damned at noon when
the meeting was called to order, the
ma ioritv of those present being liquor
men or those in their employ, including
Wise and four representatives of the
Bulletin. During the course of the
meeting boy from the brewery was
introduced as star witness, his stunt
having been to snoop over Andrews
shoulder and read letter that An
drews held in his hand. His keyholt
activity won him great acclaim from
Buchly and Bartlett, who produced hin
with flourish before the committed

members of the liquor dealers commit
tee stated that Cohen had told then
