nection with the water scandal. Ho
says that ho became involved in debt
to the extent of $12,000 by stock r.nd

gated to assist MacLeod and they re

ontract promoter , and planned to
get through him $25,000 to settle the
bank accounts. Ho declares that It
was never his purpose to use any of
this money for the bribery and that
he did not even promise Cameron a
contract from the city. Ho failed to
get the $25.000 and then secured the
$75,000 , which was sent here as a
boodle fund , arranged with MacLeod
to take care of the hank obligations
and turn the remainder over to him.

lor's agent.
In conclusion , he denies that he ever ,
directly or Indirectly , offered money
or other Inducements to any city offi
cial for the support of any water prop
osition.
