BACKS UP ALLDS
Mr.. PRICE EXPLAINS.
SAYS Seaator Bought and Paid
for Tehicle Stock.

| Frank Julian Price, now an Assistant
| CORPORATION Counsel and formerly an AS
sembly colleague Of Senator Aids and
| fellow lodger with him I'm the so-called
| House of Commons in 1900. said last night
tat ii was through a tip which he gave TO
| Aids that the Senator purchased one hum
dred shares of the New York Electrical
| Vehicle and Transportation Company, about
which Senator Aids testified on Tuesday.
"I have looked up the matter" said Mr..
Price. land though do not find any corre-
spondence, I have found two entries in my
fathers books showing that Aids paid him
for the stock In two separate payments,
aegregating 1890 The first payment was
by check and was for 500, and as to the
final payment there is nothing to show
whether it was by check or cash.
The stock was bought by both himself
and Aids, Mr.. Price went on, because OF a
tip he had received that 1t was good
thing to buy, and the transaction was con-
Quoted through his father, Colonel George
A Price
He didn't recall all the details Of the
matter he said. but Re emphasized the
point that he was perfectly clear in his
recollection of the fact that Aids bought
and paid for his stock any one would do.
"Just an Ordinary Deal"
He purchased it at my suggestion, be-
cause I had received the tip said Mr..
Price. 1T was jest an ordinary deal,
through a tip, and I don't think it made
good but this suggestion that Aids didn't
purchase that stock is nothing more than
an internal imputation'
Theodore p. Gilman and Edward H. Fal-
lOHpprE
Aids and Price in the House of Commons,
and who were mentioned by Senator Aids
on Tuesday in his testimony regarding the
transaction, entered fiat -donials yesterday
that they had bought the stock for Aids.
Il never bought any stock for or with
Mr. Aids or any one else in that House."
said Mr.. Gilman. II have a faint recoIec-
tion of Price having had a tip. What the
others did | don't know, but I know I never
bought any stock. / wasn't n stock buyer
then or now"
Mr.. Fallows was equally positive that he
had never bought any stock for Senator
Aids, either then or at any other time.
II don't even recall the incident" he said.
Last night. however, after communicating <
with Mr.. Price, Mr.. Fallows recalled the
fact that Price had tip on some stock,
and had spoken of IL to him. but he was
positive that hc had neither bought stock
for Aids nor for himself on that tip.
Mr.. Price said it was his recollection that
the tip had been generally accepted by both
Gilman and FalloWs, as we'll as Aids, but
on looking up the records pf his father s
books he found only the entries concerning
his own purchases and that of Senator
Aids.
Senator Alds's recital Of the facts reIat-
ing TO the stock purchase, as given under
cross-examination on Tuesday. differed
slightly from the version given yesterday
by the former Assemblymen now in this
city.
Price Ready TO Testify.
When he was asked To tell the Senate
how he came 10 buy the stock Senator Aids
testified: "One Of the members of the
house in which lived made purchase
jointly for three or four members Of the
family there. and the shares of stock, the
one hundred to which I subscribed, were
issued to me in my name"
He then mentioned three members Of the
family" Of the House ct Commons-Ciil.

thought had bought the stock for him
Mr.. Price declared it was "a tempest in
a teapot and "an Internal inputation'' ~
try TO make ii seem that Aids had not
bought and paid for the stock and he stood
ready. lie said. to go to Albany If Senator
Alldss counsel wanted him to testify to the
records in his fathers books and his rec
objection of the whole transaction.
'ln the mean time said Mr.. Price last
night 81 am sending Senator Aids state
