Cook testified that be was employed by iH <Gupnell as laborer on the corporation at $2 per day; that, being sick and know- ing that Ceas was hing orders, he asked Doveless for a six dollar order for him. Atter stancing (wo bours in front of the commission- 's office, Dougless came out and handed h'm the other dovar being retained for eleciion- or poses, 23 agreed upon by Mr. Bowen's ; that he took it for granted that the order was only for six dollars; thaton the first day of duly Mr. Cees came to b's house t> xet his endorsement upon the order, which wa« done, when he asked Ceas bow mach the order was, and was informed that for $16. He hen went to ‘ce Mr. Gnunmell’s elerk, George ©.

Cook asked him to get Ceas to cash the order for him. Cers was paying 85 cents on the do! Could not recollect how much wes due iff, nor how much he received. Alder- an Baker was in the room to figure up what ‘Was to be paid on each order, and would call out the amounts, when Ceas would count out the money and hand it to witness, who passed it Out of the window to the men without re counting. Baker was seated next to Ceas t> see that evecything was fairly done.

Samuel Ceas testitied that he remembers when the name Wm. F. Cooh was culled out, seme one im the room asked if it was Cook of the City Hall. which produced some laughter at the time. He stated that his object in cashing these orders was not t9 make money, but solely to aid in the election of Mr. Bowen. Ih is morey was paid on Saturday prior to the June election. ‘The evidence cloved, and Mr. McConnell made an argument :howing up the cgi rd of the Bowen ring, and the manner of diddling the colored laborers out of their hard earned wages.
