ACCUSE SENATOR

CHARGED WITH GRAFT
WITNESS DECLARES He GAVE
LAWMAKER $1,000
LEGISLATOR Makes Affidavit Payment
Made in Interest of American
Bridge Co.-Two Other
Solons Involved
IAssoclated Press1


ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. S.-The man
who handled. the money" was brought
before the state senate today by SEN
ator Ben Conger to confirm Conger
charge that Jotham p. Aids, It's ma ma
jority leader, accepted $1,000 Tor llllu-
encing legislation. -.
He proved to be Hiram G. Moe, vet
eran former bank cashier Of Groton'
where Conger lives. He declared posi-
lively that at the capitol April 2S, 1SVl'
he had handed Senator Aids an ell
velope containing $1,000.
The purpose for which this alleged
transfer of money was made dld not
appear in the direct testimony, out
Senator Conger filed an affidavit IN
which he declared the payment was
made on Aids demand 'in the interests
of the American Bridge company"
Moe declared he gave $4,000 to anoth-
er legislator and $1,000 to third.
The man who, Moe said, sent him to
Albany with this $4,000 is dead. He was
Frank Conger, brother of the senator,
and at the time the events occurred
vice president of the bridge company.
The only other witness today was
William A, Smyth, editor of the Oswe-
go Times, Oswego was the home or
former United States Senator Thomas
C. Platt, Smyth testified that in 1901
the Oswego Bridge company was
threatening TO move its plant If certain
legislation became law. The witness
appealed to Senator Platt and received
the following reply:
According to Aids statement the
bill that passed is not Objectionable to
the bridge people provided the other
bill is held. There is no doubt the oth-
er bill will remain in the committee" "
There is an impression here tonight
that the introduction of Platt into the
controversy is welcomed by the defense,
and that it opens way for Senator
Aids to plead that he only followed the
instructions of the former Republican
leader of the state.

MEN RUNNING, FINDS BODY
Pedestrian In New York Calls Police
but No cIew to Tragedy
Secured

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Another mys-
terious murder was added to the long
list of puzzling crimes which the year
1910 has brought to the New York
police. Shortly before 2 o'clock this
morning a fusillade of shots rang out
on Avenue A, an east side street.
A pedestrian hurrying homeward.
after passing the evening with friends
saw two men run down q dark alley
with smoking Tevolvers in their hands.
At the street corner where they had
been standing, the pedestrian found
the body of a third man who evil
IDENTIFY had been their companion. He
was shot through the heart.
A policeman hastily summoned,
found nothing to identify the slain
man except a business card bearing
the inscription:
Anthony Gregory, dealer in shoes,
1000 Lincoln avenue, Pittsburg."
The rather indefinite descriptions of
the murderers given by the pedes-
trian are apparently the only clews to
their identity.

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb S.-As ar

Hermann, who is being tried on
charge of conspiracy to de1raud IIle

begun tomorrow.
Much of today was spent by MI
Wortbington, counsel for Hermann, IN
an effort to have the case non-sulteo
on points of law.
Mr.. Worthington battled for three
solid hours in support of his conten-
tions. These were:
First-If there had been consplr
acy to defraud it was the state OF
oregon that had been defraudeu' anu
not the government.
Second2That the prosecution of
Hermann was barred by the statute
of limitation
Third-If prosecution were not
barred, then the court should strike
out all evidence as to overt acts that
occurred prior to three years before
the indictment against Hermann was
returned.
Fourth-That the district court of
Oregon was without jurisdiction; the
conspiracy, if any, had been, so far
as Hermann was concerned, formed
in Washington, d. C.
Two of the three hours were devoted
by Mr.. Worthington in supporting his
last contention-thau of lack of jurlS-
diction.
The counsel dragnetted the decisions
of the United States supreme court
from the time Aaron Burr was tried
for treason down to the recent decision
in the habeas corpus proceedings in
stituted by the owners of the Indian
apolis News in the so-called Panama
libel case brought at the instance OF
President Roosevelt.
Notwithstanding bis efforts Judge
Wolverton held with the prosecution
in every instance.
