He said this monument had been chosen
by a committee composed Of three Nor
mons and three non Mormons. the chair
man being Col. .. G. lacking, who is
not affiliated with the Mormon Church.

instrumental in selecting the design. and
that the inclusion Of the statue Of Brig

entirely to the fact that it was part
of the monument

ter written by Cardinal Gibbons asking
that several ladies who have called upon
him in the matter be given hearing.

ton called on me and stated that they
were to protest against placing the like
ness OF Brigham Young on the silver

in their stand. I at once wrote to Secre-
tary Meyer and recommended to him that
he give the ladies a hearing and COM

MONEY WAS NEVER PAID
COUNSEL, SAYS WITNESS
J. V. Terreforte Declares He
Gave $1,000 to R. G..
Woodward, However.

John V. Terreforte Of New York, former
shipping clerk and now manager of A. p.
Ordway IL Co., testified today at the trial
of Robert Graham Woodward, a former
manager, before Justice Wright and a
jury in Criminal Court No. !. where
Woodward is charged with procuring
$1,000 from the firm by alleged false pre-
lenses.
Mr.. TecrefOrte said he received long
distance telephone message directing that
fee Of George H. Lamar. an attorney. 4
check was Immediately drawn for this
amount and cashed, witness said, and he
was dispatched by Mr.. Ordway to Wash
ington with the money.
Upon his arrival in this city. witness
said, he met Woodward at the Union sta
ton and delivered the money to the de-
PENDANT.
The witness returned to New York
and the defendant followed the next
Mr.. Ordway that he had paid the money
to Mr.. Lamar. which fee, considering
the work that had been done and the
results achieved, he considered very
reasonable one.
MI. ordway Was Pleased.
Mr. Ordway, according to the witness,
with the amount charged and was glad
the matter had been SO satisfactorily
adjusted.
On cross-cxamination Attorney Henry
T. Davis, for the defense, secured from
the witness an admission that Wood
ward in the telepnonic conversation did
mot men ton the name of the attorney
for whom the $4,000 was desired.
Attorney George II. Lamar testl-
fled that he had never seen the De,
PENDANT before yesterday and had
never been retained by him to rep
resent 4. p. Ordway & Co. before the
bureau Of internal revenue. He de-
clared he never secured q fee OF $4,000
from the defendant.
Attorney Davis admitted openly that
Mr.. Woodward never had any COM
munication with Mr.. Lamar and never
paid him $4,000.
The case will probably occupy the
attention Of Justice Wright for two
more days.
