Brennon said that the next con-
versation he had with Hindle was
over the telephone after the Wabash
matter had gone through. Hindle
called up Brennon and was asked
TO come TO the detectives office, but
Hindie replied according TO Bren-
mons testimony:

mo, | won't give il to Schreiter,
Brennon quoted himself on the stand
as saying over the telephone.
Il may be over later" was Hindle's
statement as narrated by Brennon.
ON cross,examination, Watson
sought 10 prove that as a member Of
the committee on street openings
Hindle was In raeor of the Seventh.
St. closin proposition and that no
money was needed to influence him
on that subject
Didn't you say to him on July 10,
I'll give you $500 and didn't he re.
ply. Nothing doing?'" Watson asked
Brennon.
HE did not make that reply"
Watson then asked about the con-
servation in the prosecutors office.
Didn't you ask him about the 5000
and he denied your version OF what
took place and then didn't you follow
that up by saying: Don't you remem-
ber me offering you $300?
Brennon could not recall having
asked Hindle such a question. His
memory uncertain on the conversa'
ton in the prosecutors Office, but
clear on other points. This gave Wat.
son the opportunity to demand the
record and caused the court to order
the prosecutor TO produce IL. Wat
sons questions as to the conversation
IN the prosecutors Office would seem
to indicate that the detectives con-
yersation might conflict with his tes-
timony as to his dealings with
Hindle

cutor's Office: There's no use of your
talking: we had the machine on you,
meaning to say to him that you had q
record of the most important part OF
his conversation on July H. when you
knew il was only the telephone con-
versation of later date? Were you
just bluffing him?"
II don't remember"
He never got 81 from you, did
he?"
He never came for it,
why not be on the square? An
swer my question: He never got, 81
from you, did he?" .

this offer OF money!
II didn't pursue him very hard
Then You lay in wait for him."
