Direct Contradiction of Gary. The testimony preceded an acknow. ledgment by Mr. Corey that his resig- nation as president of the corporation in 1910 was the sequel of a dispute between himself and Judge Gary as to who was chief in authority and that the finance committee of the corpora- tion had upheld Judge Gary. It gave direct_contradiction to that of Chair- man Gary before the Stanley steel in- vestigatiog_committee, which was to the effect that, with the exception of the “rail combination,” which he said did not fix prices, he had had no know- ledge of the existence of pools, and had ordered them abolished as soon as they had been brought to his attention. This was in the latter part of 1904. Gary Attended Meetings. Mr. Corey swore today that Judge Gary “knew about all the pools all the time, because he attended some of the meetings.” While a meeting of the plate and structural pool “in 1902 or 13037 was the only one at which he could distinctly remember that Judge Gary was present, Mr. Corey said_he was sure that he was present at other meetings. “Are you sure that Judge Gary was present at the structural meetin?” esked C. A. Severance, attorney for the corporation. “Absolutely,” answered Mr. Corey Was No Ili-Feeling. Unable to shake the testimony of the witness, Mr. Severance held a briet conference with his associate counsel. “You left the steel corporation with some ill-feeling toward Judge Gary, atdn’t you?” asked Mr. Severance. “We were not always in accord, but I don't think it was ill-feeling,” replied the witness. Mr. Corey then acknow- ledged that there “Rad been a question 23 to who was chif executive” and that the finance committee had upheld Judge Gary. THE MONEY TRUST.
