In large cities it has been practically de- monstrated that it is advisable to have the street bed one foot helow the curb lines. This hys been done in Chicago.

From the gener- al tenor of the testimony there was you led tobelieve that there was a kina of understanding—I won’t call it a conspiracy—between Vander- voort and Yost and Mr. Mmer to— The Witness—I would not in- clude Mr. Yost. This testimony led the grand jury to believe that Mr. Vaudervoort and oir. Miner, and it almost reached Mr. Wiltse himself, although it was not as pos- itive, that they were kind of egging the thing on.” The opinion of the grand jury was, and it was almost & unanimous thing, that these men instigated Curry. Mr. Miner testi- tied the first he 'knew anything ! about it, Mr. Curry came up and asked hiva to write this eard. Mr. Gyerall testified positively that he passed Miner and Curry in_front of Caldwell block, and that Miuer told Curry that thatattack on the colord dance houses never should go unno uced; and then there was a little conversation between them, and Miner took out his note book and began to write. He seaid he didn’t want to stand there looking on, but he was certain that Mr. Curry was influenced by others.

Have any of the Union Pucific mails been weighed to your knowl- edge at any time last November A. [eaw’t say as to November. We weighed 15 days during the fall.

A I was From your impression there dur- ing that trial would you be willing to believe Mr. Vandervoort under oath—from what you learned dur- ing that investigation ? A. I would not say of Mr. Van- dervoort any different to what I would say of any man who might beas flatly contindicted as he was by statements made by other wit- nesse in regard to a certain fact. £ would not believe him, or any man, let him be my own Urother, whose testimony was so flat’y contradicted as hisis. He swore positiyely about a conversation, and was flatly con- tradicted by other witnesses. Mr. Vandervoort—Who was the conversation with? A. The conversation was proven afterwards by James R. Porter and & man-—I have forgotten his name —from Saunders county, that you remarked about the card in the Re- publican that if the Beg didn’t re- ply to it, Rosewater would get licked, and if he replied to 1t in any ways ‘saucy he would get licked.
