committee that one Russell T.
Sherwood (the mayors alleged)
financial agent0 had a joint
safe deposit box with the mayor
of the city"
Seabury then proceeded to
point out that he had shown
that Sherwood had deposited in
various banks and brokerage &C
counts nearly a million dollars"
McNaboe repeatedly interrupted
Seabury, declaring he was max,
ing a summation"
Keeps on Talking
But Seabury kept on talking.
"Tn addition, you have proof
here that Sherwood was for
many years the agent of the
mayor. You have evidence that
from January l. 1926, to the
time when Sherw wood fled,
nearly $1,OOO,OOO went into his
various accounts. You have evi-
dence that one Scanlan got a
$4,000 contract on a Butler
sweeper contract with the city
of New York and that $4,000
of that amount went to Sher-
wood"
Proceeding. amid further inter
ruptions from McNaboe, Seabury
pointed out the circumstances
under which Mayor Walker trav,
eled to Europe in 1927 with a
$4,000 letter of credit.
Emanuel Bergin, of the brok-
erage firm of Hornblower &
Weeks, was called to the stand,
He identified deposit slips cover
ing credits to the account in the
name of Sherwood.
Bank Stock Deal
The next witness was Walter
R. Herrick, park commissioner
He signed a waiver c immunity
Seabury asked:
"At various times you have
acted as attorney for James J.
Walker in matters of personal
and private nature?"
II don't think / did since he
was mayor, but am not absO-
lutely sure"
Herrick admitted that in 1926
he was in communication with a
broker named J. Norris Oliphant
He Thought Oliphant hao
made the suggestion that it will
be wise to purchase some bank
stock-the new Interstate Trust
Company stock.
Conversational Details
Herrick related a conversation
he had had with Mayor Walker.
"As nearly as / can recOllect,
my conversation with him was
to the effect that if he would
like to get some of the stock
and that Mr.. Oliphant would
like to get some of the stock.
"If he could get rs shares for
himself. then he would get rs
shares for me. If Mr.. Oliphant
could have 25 shares, he would
carry 25 for men in my account,
which was a small one, with
Oliphant g. Co."
Recognizes the Slip
Herrick disclosed that SOC
shares of the stock was purchased
at $3.50 a share. Seabury said:

that Christmas typifies in man. No
human society could exist without
them. Laws could not govern hearts
that knew not love, nor force constrain
the acts of men who knew not mercy.
These qualities are inherent in man.
He cannot diyest himself of them.
They are the heritage of his divine
origin and nature. They distinguish
him from the beasts.
Christmas is his recognition of his
own divine attributes. He cannot ig-
more the worship that is in him for
those same qualities that his baser ma
ture may often seek to overcome, to
deny, to Danish from human relation
ships. But it is the history of mans
conquest of life, which often has
seemed ruthless and savage. that no
triumph of materialism. no pursuit of
wealth, no indulgence and greed have
ever separated him finally from that
first altar of his worship-from the
love and mercy that have taken form
in his observance of Christmas.
With kings and counsellors of the
earth. with princes that had gold and
filled their houses with silver, and
with the lowliest in their huts of DESC
lation it is ever the same; together
they must worship what is in the ma
ture of all that breathe, for without it
one man would forever be beast of
burden and his brother beast of prey.
Christmas. then, brings home toaus
our common heritage. We cannot
escape it if we would. AS the flower
holds up its chalice to the raindrops,
so does man, obeying an impulse as
instructive turn to Christmas to re-
ceive the reviving forces that are In
the human love it brings. Then does
he lay aside all that is unworthy of
him and partake anew of the spirit
that alone can give purpose and dig
nifty to his life on earth. AS long as
he turns in worship to this beauty that
really is of himself, though often
through his own failings removed from
him and preserved only as an image or
symbol, he is not lost to some sense
of his own divine nature. He can still
bring it back and receive it renewed
and live by it.
Thus is Christmas never outworn,
nor its reviving force exhausted. 1t
cannot be while man has worship in
him and gives 1t to that which he
recognizes as the ultimate to which his
nature aspires.
No, Christmas never can grow old
fashioned and In that is the hope Of
the world.-Kansas City Times.
