If I had retusoa te give Mr. Chittenden the £97,000 he migu have given the contract to somebody else. Q. Then you were in his power, after he hat notified you that your contract ‘had been a: cepted by the Board of Public Works? A. That is our view of it at all events. By Mr. Mattingly:—Mr. Quimby came to my office last summer in Chicago; he said he wis'nt treated wel! in Washington. He said if Ray ant Jenkins and others did'nt come down with ¢ money he would burst them; he aid be had re- ceived money from parties ia Washingt a to ruin the DeGolyer pavement, and if we dut'nt come down he would. By Mr. Christie:—Mr. Quimby has been in our employ for three years in all; don’t think he worked for our interest; did us injury even when in our employ; he has talked trequeatly about the pavement in a detrimental way, the ironing process was pronounced against by a Mr. Watson, of the Chicago Board of Puc Works. ‘The witness was sharply cross-examined with reterence to Mr. Quimby’s abilities, and as tu how long when speaking of him, he has desig. nated him as a toreman of a “gang of hands. In reply to # question by Mr. Mattingly , the Witnees said Mr. Watson of the Board of Public Works in Chicago, was a sidewalk inspector. Mr. Christie said as he thought he had es'.: lished a connection between Huntington and Chittenden, he desired the letter written by the latter to the former to go in evidence.
