FORMER FRIEND OF FIX SENATOR
 GIVES THIS TESTIMONY.
SAYS GARDNER TOLD HIM
c. W. Hall Gives First corroboration of Gardner's Alleged Confession in Race Track Bribery Case.

New York; Feb. 20v-A former friend of ex-Senator Frank J. Gardner, wno Is on trial for an alleged attempt to br1be former State Senator FoeIlxer in the interests of race track men, cor roborated today the testimony against Gardner given by Robert H. Elder, as- s1Stant district attorney of Brooklyn, a previous witness. This was the first corroboration of MT. Elders description of an alleged confession by Gardner, and it was by George w Hall of Wilkesoarre, Pa., who was formerly sales agent for a development com paay in which Gardner was interested. Hall repeated an alleged conversation with Gardner in which he quoted the ex-sentor as saying that he took $200,- 000 to Albany and Foel1er was to re- ceive $l0,000 to vote against the bill. Ruling Excludes "Boodie Fund.- Mem
 bers.
 An important feature of today's ses- sion was the district attorneys s request that Charles H. Hyde, the city cham berlain, and others named in Elders s account df a Doodle fund.- of $500,00 be subpoenaed as witnesses. de- cision by Justice Seabury, however. was to the effect that Mr. Hyde's tes- tinlony could not be allowed, on the ground that it would only touch upon issues not directly connected with the charge against the defendant. The rul- ing, if enforced throughout the trial, Is regarded as excluding the testimony of the other prominent men mentioned in Elders story.
 Hall. Met Gardner Every Sunday.
 At the beginning of his testimony today Ha1 said he met Gardner in Brooklyn every Sunday morning last July to confer over business matters. Gardner told me on one occasion" he said, that there was meeting or men interested in the defeat of the racing bill at Delmonico's and that g. vast amount of money was raised. Some Of the men were MT. Hyde MT. Van derbfIt, MT. Keene, and several others equally prominent.

 Some time during September" he continued, lat my house Mir. Gardner said to me that he had been delegated ito use money at Albany in defeat of the ace track bill. He said, At one time I took to Albany two hundred $1,- 000- sbills.'"
 Did he say who accompanied him e' asked Prosecuting Attorney Mott.

 Agreement With FoeIker.
 He went on to relate of coming down from Albany one day and finding Sem ator F'oelker in the same car of the train.
