Baker Takts Witnesi.
Baker took witness.
"Your knowledge preferred tothe
entire condition ot the city and that
such condition was chargeable to the
whole city administration.
"And that is why yot joined Paul
Sutton?"
"Not exactly. . It was more because
I feared pressure of Paul Sutton and
influence he could bring and my ex
periences with Mrs. Theodora Honey,

Kine questioned witness again:
"Did y-a think Dennison and Sut
ton were working together?
"I did not say so."
"You intended to stir up the com
munity against the city officials?"
"Inflame the community."
"And yet you started to inflame the
eommunit; against corrupt govern
ment, and yet you took up with the
man you bribed, didn't you?"
"We worked together."
Bribery Unbecoming.
"What do you think of the morality
of such conduct?" N
"Unbecoming."
(Laugher.)
"You excluded the mayor and yet
you would drag in the others, would
you?"
"Well, Kugel knew of the conditions
of the city and the others were re
sensible.
"And you excludeu the mayor?"
"Well, I gave him some praise."
Elmer Thomas quizzed Honeywell:

When Attorney Thomas prompted
tioneywell to answer, the witness
snarply replied, 1 wasn t jjaying any
attention to you."
Says He Was Double-Crossed.
The afternoon '.session of the Ma
loney hearing before the city council
was opened with W. R. Honeywell,
bricklayer, resuming his testimony to
show that his release by Maloney was
justifiable, rather than a miscarriage
of justice, as contended by Detective
oution.
Attorney Thomas took the witness:
"You chose a public place to bribe
an official, did you?"
"I did not bribe him:"
"Did he ask for the money or did
you merely olfer it to him?"
"Sutton said the boys were talking
about the suit case affairand that it
woum nurt me. x
"You have said you gave themonev

"Can VOU outline on Wtirre nf nin,r
a diagram of a bomb?"
1 can, correctly.
"Go ahead and do it."
Honevwell then drew a n!rl.ir nf -
uuimi wiine tne audience smileu.
"That's what you call a map of a
bomb, do you?"
1 can explain it.
Attorney Kine:
"How long have vou been married
to your present wife?"
J hree years.
"Then it was four vears after the
suit case affair happened before you
told your wife?" '
"Yes, before I told my frau."
"Are you working now?"
"I am. but am tied un. Haven't
worked for more than six weeks."
You thought vour standing a a
tradesman might be affected by tak
ing sides in this controversy?"
Sutton Double-Crossed Him.
"I would not have talrn mljlm It
Sutton hadn't double-crossed me."
"Did Red Williams know where you
lived ?
"Knew where I loafed." ,
"Where did you loaf?"
"Sixteenth ad Dodge streets."

Attorney Murray:

Market conditions this Spring compelled excessively heavy
buying in order to insure normal, deliveries. Our own buyers,
as well as our New York representative, followed the policy
of heavy buying. Deliveries were better than we anticipated
- and today we find stocks decidedly heavier than they should be.
This condition must "be met stocks must be reduced to
normal. That's why this sweeping clearance is inaugurated
now instead of after July 4th. It's the opportunity of the
season for you an event you should not miss.
