The Supreme Court room was crowded with witnesses and reporters, and but littie interest was manif:sted. Controller CTol- gan, bald-shaven and rosy of face, like a triar of olden time, came staggering into the room-under. the load of, not a cask of rich red wine, hut a big hook that would weigh almost as- much. He read a list of the warrants that he had .issued on the temporary roll, and it appeared that A Sergeant-at-Arms Banks and a warrant-shaver named George H.

Duckworth, it appeared, was ac- quainted with the lady, and Mr. Lam- phrey gave him the $35 to send to the lady. That was tbe last that he heard of the affair. A “Did you drawany mileage, Mr. Lam- I did.” This reply caused a murmar of surprise, for Mr. Lamphrey lives in Sacramento. “How much 2" “Tweniy cents,” replied Billy. “I got the warrant for that, but I never received I have the warrant at home Wright of Alameda denied that he had | requested Duckworth to appoint J.
