to Queens.
Ashmead termed the arrangement. by
which the Democrats were given two of
the positions and the Republicans one,
a "eentleman'S agreement"
I'D call 1t plain, ordinary bargain
and barter and DEAL" commented Sam
uel Seabury, counsel for the committee.
Theofel described a meeting in the
office of John H. McCooey, Brooklyn
Democratic leader, at which the need
Tor more judges was discussed.
And the net result of the confer
ence," asked Seabury, was that the
statesmen should enter into deal with
Republican leaders If they could get a
bill through creating more judges
wasn't it?"
Theofel said this was in effect the
understanding reached.
Ashmead testified that he was very
happy to get one of the three Queens
Judgeships for the Republicans.
Before going into the judgeshir
agreement Seabury asked Theofel about
his finances. The witness admitted he
deposited $34,470 in a bank during
1880. although his salary as chief clerk
In the Queens surrogate's Office was
only $4,000 and his proceeds from real
estate deals $4,000.
Asked about a $4,000 deposit Janu-
airy Z. 1880. Theofel said he had the
money at home in box.

titled "Printemps qui Commence"
The Romance" was perhaps the
most delightful and stirring of these.
1t came forth strong and sustained,
rising to a climax with the cry,
'Fete d'eSpoir," and sinking grad
