Salsbury and Stllson V. MacLeod this afternoon pleaded guilty in the United States circuit ccurt to ths chsrge ef violating th United State bank ing law. It was charged that tbey obtained something more than $10,000 from the old National bank on fraudulent checks. The amount waa afterward paid back. MscLeod wae formerly teller of the bank aad man ager of the local clearing house and was aided la the fraud by hla official position. The discovery of the crime csme as an out come of th munclpal heater supply scandal. Salsbury in entering his plea of guilty read a statement of his connection with ths water cansl. He say that h becam In volved In debt to the extent of $12.00 by stock and grain speculation, and waa ex tended financial accommodation at th bank by 8. V. MacLeod. Later, he felt obligated to assist MscLeod and they re sorted to further speculation, increasing the Indebtedness $10,000 through overdrafts. At that time, Salsbury says, be did not understand that any criminal consequences wer attached to hi bank transaction. This was in December, 1S99. la th early part of 1900, he met R. A. Cameron, an alleged water contract promoter, and planned t get through him $25,000 to settle the bank accounts. He declares that it was never hi purpos to us any of this monsy for th bribery, and that hs did not even promise Cameron a contract from the city. "I felt that no serious wrong would be don," he adds, "if those who were seek ing to saddle a fraudulent contract apoa the city lost some of the money which they were so ready to use for corruption In the attempt." He failed to get the $25,000 and then se cured the $75,000, which was sent here aa a boodle fund, arranged with MacLeod to take care of the bank obligations and turn the remainder over to him. He de clares MacLeod gave him something over $50,000 and that ha obtained enough from other sources to again make up the $75,000 and that It was returned to Mr. Oates, H. A. Taylor's agent. In conclusion he denies that he ever, di rectly, or Indirectly, offered money or other Inducements to any city official for the sup port of any water proposition.
