the checks of Lyman A. Spalding for
500 and Mark NJ. Potter for 5000.
Mrs. Sulzer was present when the

one of a large fleet of members of
the Manhattan Club who gave up to
Mr.. Sulzer, and all of whom are here
to testify.
BY Bird S. Golfer. That he sent
Sulzer 500 in a letter, written at
Santa Fe and sent to the Governor
personally.
BY Ralph Trier. of the Frank v.
Straus Company. That he gave
Sulzer $500 from Mr.. Straus and got
no acknowledgement of 1t. A signifl-
cant feature of all this check testi-
mony was that Sulzer made no ac-
! acknowledgement of money received in
any of his replies. When he made
replies he sent a form which read:
81 thank you for what You say and
what you have done.
Apparently dissatisfied with Mr.
Kresers examination of Mr.. Schin
Yesterday the attorneys for the man
ayers last night asked the banker to
return to Albany and he arrived this
Afternoon, mildly surprised but ready
to answer whatever questions were to
be put to him. This time Edgar T.
Brackett, who comes from Saratoga
and is one of the few lawyers for the
prosecution who have not worked for
Mr. Schiff, conducted the examina-
ton. The banker briskly took his seat
in the witness chair when called and
sat with one hand to his ear to assist
his defective hearing.
Tore Up Paper Three Weeks Ago.
In answer to Brackets questions
he said Sarecky's name was first
given him by Suizer on a visit to the
| bankers oesees He wrote it on a
slip of paper, SO as to get the spelling
right He said he tore up the paper
| two weeks ago.
"Since you knew this subject
was under investigation" clustered
Bracket.
you cannot prove anything
against your own witness" said the
| court severely
After informing the court he had
no wish to do SO, Bracket asked the
witness:
Did Sulzer state to you why he
wanted the check made to Sarecky?"
He did not, said Mr.. Schiff
did you ask him Why"
mo"
Had you ever given Mr.. sulzer
checks before?'
Not that 1 can recollect."
This was after he was nominated
for Governor"
'It was about the 18th of October"
WAS it given to him for the reason
that he was a candidate for Gov
ernor?" demanded the lawyer.
az suppose If he had not been a can
| didate for Governor that such dis
cussion would not have come up at
ALL returned Mr.. Schiff.
And per consequentiam, the check
would not have been given?"
'I don't know about that" said Mr..
Schiff, shaking his head. II think
that If Governor Sulzer had come to
me at any time for a check for $500
1 would have given 1t to him"
Had Not Heard of sulser's Straits.
Had you heard of any change Of
circumstance of William Sulzer at
any time previous to this $1,000 check

or trouble of any kind except his
nomination."
"I had not" said Mr. schiff. smil-
| ing.
"You had not for at least a year
prior to that time given him any
checks, and you do not recall that you
ever did?"
II do not recall that l ever gave
him any money of any kind" said
Mr.. Schiff positively.
You knew that he was at the time
a member of Congress-
IT did; I do"
And you knew that as q member
of Congress he received a salary"
IT know that members of Congress
received salaries"
HE has told you he knew" inter
rupted Justice Cullen. There is no
use of asking the witness whether a
member did not receive it. He did
not receive the salary if he did not
draw it, 1t is a matter of common
knowledge that members of Congress
receive salaries"

check on the corner" asked Bracket,
land which you say was not put on
until the year-some time in the year
--1913, just prior to the time that the
check went to Mr.. Richards, the
counsel for the Frawley committee?
Is that in your own handwriting?
1T is"
Did you intend to put on there

check had been drawn"

schin Explains Memorandum.
Mr.. Richards" said Mr.. Schiff,
was standing at my desk and asked
for the check. I promised to give him
the check. AS / explained yesterday,
that was not my own check. 1t was
the check of my firm, Kuhn. Loeb &
Co, and since there might be no mis-
understanding and no misinterpreta-
ton as to why that was the check of
Kuhn, Loeb g. Co., l put on such
notation in quick way and gave it
to Mr.. Richards
WAS this check in any way
charged on the books of Kuhn, Loeb
& Coz"
at was charged to my personal &C
| count
Was 1t then charged or was the
| $500 then charged in your personal
! books in any way?'
1T was charged by Kuhn, Loeb &
| Co. to my personal account, and by
reason of this 1t passed into my books
as expenses"
