The meeting at Athensiu the afternown and Marletta tn the evening of that day were well attended, and the forcible manner In which Judee West spoke placed Mim ot once in tho front rank. I1is manner of speaking aud his sharp and sarcastic compliments to Ewing and Pendleton, and his aggressive way of express- ng contempt for a vertaln class ot pollticlans, has had the effect of enlivening the campalen and creating more interest than It was believed could be created. In the early part of tho eeason the Republicans appeared to take but lttic interest in politics, but now this all chunged: Instead of letting the Democrats have their own say us towhat thetr majority should e, the Republicans have aroused themselves, awd the inilications are more favorable than fn A8iSor ' for n good I{n;'mhllcnn majority, “The speeches of Gen, Garflel], Matthews, Sherl- dan, and others have been widely circulated and read and thelr meetings well attendes Heports received at headquartens are very wncouraging, “There are two or three polnts where the work- fngmen are welt organtzed, and the Republicans are likely to have afalllng off, Une of these is ‘Toledus but the Democrats will not ggain by the Revublican loss.

The Toor- House and Insano Asylnm were under the con- trol of Kimberley, ho having been appolnted by the Board, It was his duty to scc that tho pau- pers and {nsane people were properly cared for, ‘Thesupplies werefurnished by contractors, When Kimberloy wanted angthing he made ont a_req- uisitlon, and it went to the Conunittee un Pub- lic Charitles, of which John MecCaffrey was Chalrinan, 'I'tey had power to_cut down or raisa the quan/ities cailed for, \Whou it was ro- orted back totho Board final action was taken, he requisition peing approved, a copy was handed to Kimberley, It would appear 1n evi- dencs that among the othor contractors were Perjolat,Jaines Forsythe & Co., Hogan, Christoph, Carpenter and Beardsley, all employes or meme Lersof the firny of Forsythe & Co. Not only had these men contracta for the articles dealt in by that firm, but for hats and caps, bedding, furniture,—everything needed by the lmoplu at the Poor-ilouse and fnsane Asylum. The prose- cutlon would probablynot bo allowed ta go fnto the question of how il contracts were ob- tained, or to account, in a truthful way, for all the contracts belng absorbed by o little coterle of men fun store on Bouth Water street, how- ever singular, and peculiar, and sugaestlve that fact mlht sectn. Kimberley took the requisition to the store and handed it to Perlolat, themain man in the establlshinent. Ile did uot 1ill the order, but, instead of scuding all that was called for, held back a large part of iho roods. All, Luwever, wera charged for, and tho billy although falso and fraudulent, was ap- proved »{ the County Board and oricred to be pald, and thus was . the Treasury robbed. No questions wero asked in the Boanl, Forsythe Co, kopt an account of the profit on” the goods held back, not a regular leu‘nur necount, but n meworandum, showing their dealings with Kimberley, catfed the * K" account, De- fore the contractg wer let, no member of the County Board hod n&v dcuhnxf'u witls the tirm, but during thele peiflency different Cominls- sloners began to know Forsythe & Co, That store hecame thelr beadquarters, But subse- quently an Institution was established on Dear- born strect—a club-room—under the suspices of Periolat, and it hecamo THEIL PLACE OF RESONT, And they procured supplles for thelr famflics from Forsythe & Co, Were the bills paldt It might appear fn evidenco that ot tho time a Grand Jury began an investization certain Com- wisstoners hureled down snd pald thelr ace counts. The reason was very clear, "Though the aceounts wers balanced, and 10 charges acs tually remalned agalust them on the buoks, yot they were balanced by belng charged agalnst tho WK " secount, Tho munu‘ WAS LLVCT actlls ally patde In this lay tho consplracy: The goods held back from the county were credited to tho WK weount, aud the gowds obtalved by the Commigsioucrs were churpred to them but wero puld far by the “K?” gccount. The question arose, Why should these men ubtaln supplics from contructors without pay- ng for thund \Why wers theso large amounts disteibuted winotys them, for they recelved not only goods but money? Although the cash was not charged fn their individual accounts, it was creditod fu the K secount, 1t would be shown thut one of the defendants received a Yu-k:uxu of 8500, As to the mauner of proviug heae fucts, most of the evidence would ‘be cir- cumstantialy but there would also be the full, complete, and expluiing confessions of two of the conspirstors,—Kinberley nud Carpenter, Referring Lo the coutract of O'Donnell, Mr, BMills salil Bweetzer was o sub-contractor under him, snd ‘shared with him the sccrets of tho conspiracy, whose vxtatence he had confossed. Theso inen were wuking no woney on neat an b cents u pound, and wanted an dn- cresss, The Doard did pot desire tu muke W new contract, 80 it wos urrnnged that thoy should Lold back certain quantitics of muat, s that for what was sctu- ally furnished they should practically get seven cents o pound. Attention was thien called to the clalm which would be made by tho dofense.~that Khnberley had told two. storics, It was a fact. Hut ho had told the trus story of the consplracy and unfulded the wholp nefarious bushivss, and what he would eay tothe Jury would preseut cvery appearunce of truth and candor, IHis was no made-up story. tle would be surrouudud by Innumcrable currul.mrulluf circumstances which, with is statemient, would make a whole that never could bo overthrown by surcasia or the attacks that might be made upon him, In conclusion, the State’s Attorney asked the Jury to lools ut the case as honest men, Lo con- slder all the facts, and decide it as they would oue of the questionain daily life, according to thelr best Judigmont. 10 WORK, Counsel for defense, after consultation, waived their vpening, State's’Attoruey Bills said that on the 25th of September » sitbpens duces tecun bl been served on James Forsythe, commanding him to bring juto court certaln bwk-, especially that coutatnlng the “K? account, r. Forsythu was present but the Looks were not, and Az, Mills asked for an order requiring him to brinig in the bouks a once, us they Were most esseu- tlal to the prosecution. ‘The Coust inquired if the counsel ropresented Mr. Forsythe. Mr, Siduey Bmith replied that they all dfd. ‘The Court desired to know what they had to suy ubout the application, Mr. Smith said that the Court could see that ong of the elements upou which the prosecu- tion clulwed to make out the crime charged was he transactions of Foriythe & Co., and, more- over, that they exoected to make matenal usy of the firm's bouks, Fursythe was one of the defendants. Btate's Attorucy Mills—in this caseld Mr, Swmith weht on to say that Forsythe was one of the delendants In two of tive judletoents alleging couapiracy, e bad tuken couusel, and had been advised, after a full examination of authorities, that he was not bound te produce his books, and therelure des cHued to produce thew on the elemeutary prin. civlg that 1o wan was bound Lo ueeuse himself, He (Fun‘rt.hu) touk the positiou withouy refee- cuco 1o the fuct that he kad been Ipdicted, be- cause it wus not neccasary that he should be indicted for an offense in”order tu put himeelt uuder the privilege. It was sufliclent to say that the books might form a Mink fu the chain of circuuistances tending to criminate bim aud the other wncinbers of the Hrw. There was an sbundauce of suthorities ou thie poipt. 3r, Storrs stated that the geveral principle 1hat & wan was not bound to testily.to matters which would rimivate biinselt whers au fudict- weut was pending or inight be fuund agalnst him was well; but that was not iy {ssue so far w8 thiy woplvativs wis couceroed. A subpans hal been [saued to Foraythe as g witneas, direct- ng kit to bring In certatn booka and papcrs. It wns admitied that they were in his posaession, and the sfmple question was whetlior ho a3 A witness should obey the wandate of the Court. Tho question could not be oresenteld at this #tage, but the defeuse woa anticlputing n ques- tion which might arjse—whether TIE WOULD CRIMINATE NIMIELP, or whether he would be criminated 1€ the books themselves were Introduced! That aucstion conld not possibly come up until the bouka were offered in evidence. And then there must be something clee to exclude them, or such por- Liona of them as the prosecntion deslred to use, than the mere statement of the counsel that they would criminato the witness who wus ex- amined concerning thetm. What wus wanted wwas the books in_ obedience to the subpana. They would be offered In evidence In proper slape and in legitimate scason. When they were thus offered, Korsviho muast show to the satistactlon of the Court that thelr admission would tend either to disgracs or criminate him., £ his Ilonor lesired autiiorities on this branch of the application a Jittlstime would be required to praluce them, Iter somo talk, it wasdecided totako a recess for an hour amd o quarter, Mr. Milta notified the defensa of threo nddl- tlonal witnesses. whose nnmes were not on the Indictment,—George Backloy, J. W. Doan, and J. W, Sheahan. Mr. Recud conceded that, althouch the statute required the proscention to tudorse on the back of the indlctinent afl the names of witiesscs, umder the construction of the Supreme Court, it wan settled that others micht be called; but it had never baen held that that might be done after the* jury had been impaneled and the opening statement made, when the witnesres were known to the prosecution prior to that time. 1t had only been done Lo his knowiedge onee or twice In twelve years, and then boeniiso samcthing was discovered 1n the court-rvom atter trial had begun, The objectlon of tho defense wns overruled, and exception taker, Upon reassembling at 1 o'clock, State's-At- torney Mills submitted that the only question fuvolved was whother the subpena should be obeyed, The question as to the right to intro- duce the books as ovidence was ono that might arise hereafter. TNB COURT ABKED If any point was made as to the question whethe er the hooks ought to be brought into court. He supposed Mr. l-'ora{‘mu woulitn’t care wheth- er the books were in bis Louse or in court, ns long as the prosecution could not ses them. The nuestion as to whether the proseeution had aright to see the Looka before going further wna A very different onc. State’s-Attorney Mills desired the books brought into court, aml quoted an authority to show that a subpana duces tecumn was compul- oIy, b{n 8mith dil not dispute that. Mr. Mitle sutd the subpena should be oheyed, The Court undcratood the position of the de- fenee to be that they could. not be compelled to let the prosccution secthe books, The question was whether they had a right tosce them, Mr, Milla remarked that be did not advance that question now, ‘The Court sakl that Forsythe was not obliged to brinig the books In if the prosecutlon hd no viht to see them. 1o had no right to make nn order to briug them in merely becnuse the prosccution had lssued a subpena for them. hg prosecution could not compel the delense todo somethlng which clearly tho prosecution Dad no right to inafst upon. A, Storrs then proposed to put Forsythe on the stand aud have a witness, Mr, 8mith sald tho books had been placed fn tho hiands of his attorneys. A A\Ifi.

Mr. Bidnoy Smith nrged that Mr. Forsytho waa In two {ndietients for consplracy to obitaln money under false pretenses.

Mr. Stores then devoted a little time to the point as to whether immuuity was a perfect plea agulnst nll prosccutlon? asserting that It was, aud supporting his position with authorities, ‘Tha Court did not think, under the bribery statute, it would do for the peoplo to call For- evthe ns a witness, get that order eatercd, and then call upou him for information, and require him to produce bus books, which might furnish evidence fn the bribery matter and perhaps fn other matters that MIGIT CRIMINATE HIMSELF, The prosceution inelst wpon the books belng produced to obtaln evidence na to the bribery matter; he produces then, and then they take those books and, on the strength of thein and other matters In connoction therewith which (heK wmay have, they Indict him for conspiracy with other perronsi He did not belleve the prosecution could ever conviet Foraythe of con- spiracy, IL it appeared clearly that thoy used that statute and that orderof the Court asa means (o get from bim Information, documen- tary or othurwise, in suprurt IR charge ot con- #plracy, although they i Iim uot havo the Iilea of conspiracy in wind or have known what evi- dence they “might get from tho books.

The fact that ho hod beon fndicted fndieated that tho prosecuting oflicer did not think he was exempt by reuson of any- thing he had rald befors the Grand Jury, If hie were called before the Grand Jury and testliicd upon subjects whicli the prosecution towsought 1o question him, and by reason of his testhinony wad exempt from punlshment, ho should uever have been Indicted, 1f he allowed the excm]h tion of Fors; . he wanted 1t to appear clearly that he had been so exempted before the Grand Jury that he could not be punished in reference to the matier which was now In guestion.
