 ton Was Retained-Ryans Contribution of $1O,00O AL j. Went to Mmphy-Many Dummy Contributors in List

 Sulzer. a witness today for the sec ond time at the John Doe inquiry into political graft, testified Mufphy had told him he had turned the $25,000 over to the democratic state committee. He added that Murphy also said that he had fixed it'' so that 1t would be re- ported in the committees list or cam paign contributions under the name Of a dummy. This is the s25.000 which Sulzer says was first offered to him and winch he refused to accept.
 Brady Threatened Exposure.
 Murphy, in 8 recent public state back to Brady. He will probably be called in the near future to tell his story under oath.
 Sulzer conceded today that Murphy had given $25,0 900 back to Brady, but that it was not the same S25,00 The S25, 900 which was paid to Brady, ac- cording to Sulzer. was to compromise a suit for $46.0 which he said Brady had brought against Murphy.
 Murphy sent J. Sergeant Cram to see BTdOy ana get nlIn IO Call OH liIc suit,' said Sulzer- Brady was angry and wouldn't listen to Cram. He said Murphy had sworn falsely in his an swer to the suit and that he had bet ter come across with the money or he would press the suit and expose him."
 Murphy, on the advice of Samuel A. Beardsley. Bradys attorney, finally went to see Brady himself Sulzer said, and Brady compromised for s25,0G0. Ryan,s $10,ooo Also Went to Murphy.
 Brady made him a present of $15,- oG0,' added the witness. The sum- mons and complaint in this suit, if they are not destroyed, would make interesting reading at this time"

Ryan, the flnancier, asserted at the witness i'm peachment trial he gave to Sulzer and which was never reported in Sulzer's list of contributions. The witness said he gave it to John H.

 A Lot of Dummies.
 You'll find a lot of dummies on that committee continued the witness "a lot of men who would't give $1.000 to save the democratic party from going to the demnition bowwows-" He named among these alleged dummies Thomas E. McAvoy. Tammany leader of Harlem, and George w. Plunkett, another Tammany leader.
 McAvoy, called as the next witness, denied that he had ever given one dollar to the democratic party that wasn't my own money"
 T gave from $2,500 to $3,o00 every year." ne said.
 Plunkett. who was also to have been called, failed to respond to his sub poena-
 $2.50o from Steel Trust. Another witness was William J. Sullivan, secretary to James A. Far rell, president of the United States Steel corporation. He testified that at the request of Farrell he had in 1912 given $2,500 in cash out of Farrelfs personal funds to Arthur A. Mclean. treasurer of the democratic state com mittee. He produced a receipt made out to himself and signed by Mclean.
 How did you happen to have the receipt made out in your name instead of Farrell ?'' the witness was asked.
 Tt was my own idea said Sullivan. T knew that MT. Farrell was the Only democrat i'll the steel organization and I thought he would prefer not to have his name appear. He was quite exer- cised over it and told me that there was no reason why it shGIld not be in his name, but to let it go as it was inn material"
 Contribution Never Reported.
 The witness added that there was nothing significant in the fact that the contribution was made in cash as he was accustomed to pay large bills for his employer by cash instead of check.
 It was brought out that the contrl- button was never reported by the democratic state committee. A sub poena was issued for Sullivan by the managers in charge of Sulzer's im- peachment. but he was never called.
