"oh. ] don't know If he was hound
ing me-
/ But was he chasing your"
Yes. he was"
| Schreiter was then asked concern.
Ing two kilograms he received from
Brennon while the latter was In Chi
cago. The contents OF these kilograms
were not referred 10. Schreiter said
he thought he had them and he was
asked to produce them. He said he
would look tor them. The telegrsns
were mentioned by Schreiter In tho
second statement as evidence Of the
fact that Brennon was bounding
him.
Mcnamara then read the following
from the second statement:
Brennon: You put down men on
that list you knew you had not ap-
preached"
| Schreiter: II did not"
| Brennon insisted that he did and
Schreiter called him damed liar.
But you did put down amounts
when you hadn't talked with the
aldermen" asked Mcnamara.
YES" he replied.
4 Mcnamara followed this up by
reading again from the report that
5chreiter had actually accused Bren-
mon of putting down the figures on
the Doodle list. They had called one
another liars over this point in the
prosecutor Office.
But you put down the amounts.
l5chreiter.
Eyes, did" replied Schreiter, his
gaze shifting TO the floor.
Your purpose in making this sec
ond statement was to deny what you
said In the Ford building that was
damaging to your"
Yes. to deny certain things said
| Schreiter IN talking to Brennon,
during their negotiations, referred TO
AID Zoeller as a "fathead."
"You had contracted with Mr..
Brennon to deliver 75 per cent OF the
aldermen, had you not?' was one of
McNamara's quetions.
| II don't know IL that was exact
percentage" replied Schreiter.
when did you have the first talk
with Brennon about pay for your SER
vices?"
THE latter part OF May"
| How much were you to receiver"
| "Two hundred dollars"
Didn't you deal with him to re-
ceive $1.500?"
Not at that time"
Mcnamara then referred to Schrei-
ter,s first statement in which he said ::
II think | made price of $1,000 for
my services
Did you say that?"
| II don't remember If said 1t or
not. I was under a strain"
IF you said it 1t was Incorrect"
'Yes, sir"
do you deny having said it to
him."
II couldn't state il | said it or
not"
do you recall the conversation you
had there?"
NO"
Schreiter said, however, that Bren-
non had offered him $1,000, July 2.
| Was that after you washed your
hands of the whole thing?"
Schreiter explained that the offer
was made at a. m, and he washed
his hands of the transaction the
same morning.
| McNamara Hammers Away.
McNamara's questions were then
directed to prove that after Schreiter
washed his hands" he bargained
with Brennon to deliver the coun-
ciT' to Brennon. The agreement
about the $500 was made in Bren-
mons Office. Schreiter testified, and
an hour and half later Brennon
came to the city hall, and Schreiter
then told him that the aldermen re-
fused to do business except through
Schreiter. and, consequently. 1t was
| "all or"
Schreiter then said that later he
bargained with Brennon to obtain
$500 for drawing the Wabash resolu-
| tion In such way as to relieve the
company from paying $4,000 for i'm
provements In the streets to be va
| Gated.
Mcnamara quizzed Schreiter gen.
orally about the statement made to
Burns and Brennon in the latter's Of
fee, but Schreiter's memory was
poor.
Anything the matter with your
memory this morning" asked McNa-
mare.
| mo, sir
| THE facts OF this matter were
fresher In your memory when you
made that statement than they are
today?"
We'll, l made statements not only
to shield myself, but the aldermen"
Were you shielding them when
you confessed to taking $500 to de-
liver them to Brennon?"
| IL don't remember what did say"
Tries 20 Score Point.
Schreiter laid great emphasis on
the fact that he was to receive 800
for inducing" the aldermen to 60 to
Brennon's office for their money, max.
ing II appear that he, in way, assist
ed In their exposure.
Mcnamara called attention to the
conflict In the statements between
Brennon and Schreiter, as shown by
Schreiter's first statement. Brennon
insisted that Schreiter used the word
Jackpot" in talking Of money for
the aldermen, and Schreiter denied
that he used the word
