Used Dummy Paper, Says Moss.

He took money through apparent bust

that paper 10 Mr.. Gross to go 10 the Ire
mont Bank and 90 through the form II

show that Mr.. Gross brought that money to
Mr. Montgomery. and the latter used it
for his own purposes.
Shorn Of the frequent wrangles between
the prosecuting attorney and counsel for
the defence. Mr. Gross's remaining testi-
mony was that he felt he was not doing
what was strictly according TO the moral
code He denied emphatically. however, al
though pressed hard by James w. Osborne,
senior counsel for the defence. that he knew
any larceny was beng committed.
IT merely felt that the transaction was
one which could not be aired. although
was sure that the notes discounted were
backed by securities. ! am sorry now that
took any part in the transactions
Gross said that between the time the
bank closed in October. 1907. and the time
it opened in January. 1905, he expected 70
receive an appointment as assistant easier.
Both before and after the bank opened. he
also said. the defendant had requested him
20 get outside Of the jurisdiction OF the

Part Of Testimony Corroborated.

Gauvaine, a retired sea captain, eighty
one years old, corroborated this part or
Gross's testimony. He said that on Octo-
Der %, 1907. Gross had come TO his house
and that he signed a paper presented 70
him. He said he did not read the paper.
Then he accompanied Gross 10 the Union
League Club and saw him hand some
money 10 Montgomery. The nature of the
paper was not disclosed.
At this juncture Mr. Osborne declared
that the defence acknowledged that Mont
gomery got the money.
The whole question is whether he left
sufficient security" said Osborne, whether
he acted in good faith. II is charged that
he had Mr. Gross present certain Sc
curity, and that money ostensibly received
by others was received by the defendant
for his own benefit"

Of the help Sheehan had been in electing

commentary on the present situation that
the organization of the Legislature is
being held up. Speaker Frisbie and Sem
atOr Wagner to-day made impassioned
speeches urging the committees all to get

and accomplish a lot Of business. Yet
