That was after he had been testifying before the committee on investigation on Saturday. “He said that he quite unwillingly breught me into the case and he apolo- gized to me for doing so—for bringing | me into something about which I knew ! nothing,” continued the witness. “I re- plied that I knew nothing about the | money cxcept what I saw, but that I re- membered the incident perfectly. Mr. Leake of The Call came Into Captain Al- exander's office and asked me if I knew anything about it. That was one day | last week after the investigation . had | lclosefL Captain Alexander was present, ! and Mr., Leake took down my statement in longhand. Mr. Leake, Captain Alex- ander and myself were the only ones | present.’” | The witness in further response to the | cross-examination of Emmons related | that on the Saturday morning of the ex- amination Leale and Pratt came into Al- exander’s office. They had met by ap- pointment of Alexander, at whose request the witness had telephoned for them. Said the witness: “Captain Alexander told me that it was very important to have me telephone for | Captains Leale and Pratt wherever I might be able to find them. That was | on Friday, and the engagement was for 5 o'clock on that evening. The next morn- ing, Saturday, they came separate about 9, or half past § o'clock.” ONLY MYSTERIOUS GOLD. Senator Emmons then asked: “During your employment for four years with Captain Alexander, did any money come into that office that you did not know about?” “No, sir,” replied the witness, “How much did that business ander’s amount to every month Before the witness could reply Senator Knowland said he did not think it was proper to make inquiry into the business affairs of Captain Alexander. Miss Lovdal replied that she had han- dled as much as $3000 in one month in cash, but of all the money that she ever handled while in the office she knew what every dollar was for. Chairman Welch asked the witness whether she remrembered reading in The Call that the committee was going to find two of the Commissioners guilty and one not guilty, and she replied she did. “Was it before or after that that Leake spoke to you?” “I think it was before,” replied the wit- nes: “Did Leake offer you any whatever for your testimony othing whatever,” replied Miss Lov- dal. ‘“‘He merely asked me to tell the truth.” LEALE MAKES DENIAL. The witness was then excused and Cap- tain Willlam G. Leale was called to the stand. He sald he took office in March, 1899, and had a pretty good memory of the events of March, April, May, June and July of that year. Senator Emmons, beaming upon the witness, asked: “Did you ever in Captain Alexander's office get a coin sack from the hands of the charming young Jlady 4who has just testified here?" “‘No, sir,” he replied. f Alex- inducement “I don’t think s “Did you see any figures made in your presence relative to a division of money made on that occasion?" “I did not.” “Did you take any money out of Cap- tain Alexander's office during these months “No, si “Did_you ever have business dealings with Captain Alexander?” *No, sir.” “Did there?” you ever “receive any money No, sir.” What did you go to his office for?"” “I usually went into Captain Alexan- der’s office to talk Pilot Commisslon busi- ness with him. Sometimes I would go there four or flve times a month and at other times I would not go there once a month.’ The witness then produced a bunch of letters from business men certifying to Lis good reputation and explaining their absence from the committee meeting by the fact that they were busily engaged and unable to come. The Southern Paci- fic Company, the Atchison, Topeka and | Santa Fe and the Occidental and Orfental | Steamship Company were represented in | these letters. The first communication was from W. A. Bissell, the traffic manager of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company. It was addressed to Senator Welch, chairman of the committee, and set forth that he had known Leale for a good many years and had had business relations with him and entertained the highest possible opinion of his integrity and reliabllity in every way. The next letter was from Willlam Sproule of the Southern Pacific Company. The writer stated that Captain Leale had called upon him to testify on his behalf, but that he was unable to appear before the committee because of the stress of business. He had known Captain Leale for many vears, he said, and took great pleasure in testifying to his integrity. The next was from D. D. Stubbs of the Occlidental and Orientsl Steamship Com- pany, and also bore testimony to Captain Leale’'s reputation for veracity and in- tegrity. NO BIAS, SAYS EMMONS, During all this questioning, favorable to the defendant upon the part of Senator Emmons, Senator Shortridge appeared to gr uneasy, and he remarked that as C{l’aln Leale appeared to have an attor- ney present (Mr. Barnes) he thought it would look better if Mr. Barnes should question the witness on his own behalf. He suggested that it would be in more proper form If that were done than if the committee were to cross-examine the witness. B 3 Senator Emmons said that was a mat- ter for the committee to act upon. Under the resolution a committee had detalled him to take the part which he was now taking. He disclaimed any bias upon his part, and he had askeéd as searching ques- tions as he could to get at the bottom of the affair. While it was true that Captain Leale was represented by coun- sel, still until the committee should re- lieve him (Emmons) from the duty it had imposed upon him he could not do any- thing else than go on. Attorney Barnes here addressed the committee and explained that the ques- tions that had been asked and were be- ing asked by Senator Emmons had been suggested by him as counsel for Captain Leale. Senator Shortridge expressed him- self as being satisfied with the explana- tion, and disclaimed any intention of re- Kern County. Captain Leale then produced a letter from A. E. Pryor, manager of the firm of Piper, Aden & Goodall, certifying to the captain’s excellent reputation and character. He produced also a letter from Supervisor John Connor, who had known the captain for thirty years, and who vouched for his integrity. Senator Knowland asked the witness whether he had not testified that he did flecting upon the honorable Senator from™Y DR. EILMER’S SWAMP-ROOT. Thousands Have Kidney Trouble And Do Not Even Suspect It.

DID NOT KENOW I HAD KIDNEY TROUBLE GENTLEMEN: “AboutlS months ago 1 was extremely sick for three weeks, and when I was able to leave my bed I was left with ex- eruciating pains in my back. My water at times looked very much like coffee. I could pass but little at a time, and then only after suffering *great pain. My physical condition was suck that 1 had no strength and was all run down. The doctors said my kidneys were not affected, and while I did not know 1 had kidney tfouble I somehow felt certain that my kidneys were the cause of my trouble. I pro- cured a bottle of Swamp-Root and Inside of three days commenced to get relief. I fol- lowed up that bottle with another, and at the completion of this one found I was completely cured. My cure s very gratifying to me." = 20 7 /%4..%.//( ////‘:"ufif/gf 117 High Rock St.,, Lynn, Mass.

SWAMP-ROOT IS PURELY VEGETABLE 14 East 120th St., New York City. DEAR SIRS: T had been suffering severely from kidney trouble. All symptoms were on bhand; my former strength and power had left me; I could hardly drag myself along. Even my mental capacity was giving out, and often 1 wished to die. It was then I saw an adver- tisement of yours in a New York paper, but would not have pald any attention to it had it not promised a sworn guarantee with every bottle of your medicine, asserting that your Swamp-Root {s purely vegetable, and does not contain any harmful drugs. I am seventy years and four months old, and with a_good o science I can recommend Swamp-Root to sufferers from kidney trouble. Four membe: of my family have been using Swamp-Root for four different kidney diseases, with the same good_results. ““With many thanks to you. I rem: ROBERT BERX truly yours, Oct.” 15th, 1902.

Captain Leale re- plied that he was in Captain Alexander’s | office alone on the morning of the meet- ing. He denied that either Captain Es- chen or Captain Pratt was present. “It has leaked out—I don’t know how— that you and I are old-time friends,” saild Senator Emmons to the witness. “Will you say that you knew me to be the boy vou knew on the San Joaquin until after this investigation closed?” | “I did not recognize you,” replied the witness, “‘until I reached Sacramento aft- er the investigation and was told by an- other party who you were.” LEALE, HIS REr¥UTATION. This closed the testimony of the wit- ness, and Dwight Hollister, a wealthy bhorticulturist of S8acramento County, was | placed on the stand and testified that he had known Captain Leale for a good many years, had business relatfons with him and that his general reputation for truth, honesty and integrity was unim- peachable. | Major P. J. Harney and Richard Grat- ton testified in a similar strain. Captain | J. H. Bennett was then placed on the stand and was asked: “When Captain Pratt said that the tar- iff was $3500 for the appointment of your friend, did you ever approach Leale or dia Leale say anything to you with refer- ence to money being pald to him?"” “I did talk to Leale,” responded the ‘witnes: vith regard to the appointment. He said rl had no doubt that my friend was a good man and he would have no objection to voting for him, and would but for the fact that it was Captain | Pratt's appointment and that he knew the candidate very well, and for that réa- son could not support my friend.” The witness testified that Captain Leal bore a good reputation. The next witness called to testify to the good reputation of Captain Leale was Captain Pratt, one of the two Pilot Com- missioners whom the committee had de- termined to report as guilty of having re- ceived money for appointments. Senator Emmons asked him: “You stated in San Francisco the other day that you did not receive any portion oi the money divided by Captain Alex- ander on the occasion that has just been testifled to?” | “Yes, sir, that is what I stated.” | “That is true?” young lady sent out for | “Were there any coin sacks brought in to divide the money to your knowledge?"” { No, sir.” | “Did you carry away any sum of four- teen hundred and odd dollars?” “No, sir.” “From that division, addition and si- lence proposition, made at that time?” “No, sir.” “Did Captain Leale carry away any money at that time?” “I did not seé Captain Leale have any money.” “Did Captain Alexander divide any money in the presence of either of you?"” | “No, sir.” Then Senator Emmons asked Captain Pratt as to Leale's reputation, at which a smile went round the room and the wit- ness replied that it was of the best. The committee then adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning, at which time the whitewashing will be resumed. CONVIVIAL PARTY ENDS William Riley, a Photographer, Arrested for Assault to Murder. ‘William A. Riley, a photographer, ap- peared before Police Judge Mogan yes- terday on a charge of assault to murder. Riley explained that he had paid a visit to Frederick Hall, another photographer, ‘whose wife keeps a lodging-house at Sixth and Minna streets. He and his hosts drank considerable beer, and Mrs, Hall during the festivities showed Riley a re- volver she had bought. He was handling it carelessly, when it went off, the bullet passing through the palm of his hand and striking Mrs. Hall on the knee. He said Mrs. Hall would bear out his state- ment when she was able to be in court. Riley was arrested by Policemen Rior- dan and Brown, and as they were not in court the Judge said he would put the |foasts. The affair will be the second an- case over till this morning to hear what they had to say. It was later learned that Mrs. Hall drove Riley and her hus- band out of the house at the point of the revolver ahd it was after peace had been restored and they had returned that Riley got hold of the revolver and a shot was heard. Riley was arrested on Turk street shortly after the shooting. B — Make Arrangements for Feast.
