throwing the Government down I
will be made Minh/ter of Mines, and
there will be no trouble then about
what we can do." I said. "You go
on and sea what arrangements you
ran make about getting the money,"
Ile said, "Mind. that Is the story
that we received 93.000 In Septem-
ber, and 91.E for giving The
Globe interview, that Stratton gave
the money to Myers and Myers took
It to the smoking room " I said.
"All right, you make arrangetttent■
for your money." We talked on the
proposed plan, and be said, "I will
be back. and I will make arrange-
ments for the money, and be back
the, afternoon and see you " We
talked about forty minutes, going
over the pros and cons, and we went
up (ho steps into Mr. (llackmeyer's
office and he got his tickets for the
House, and we walked out and I
took him to the Public Work. lk-
partment and introduced hint to Mr.
Edwards and Mims O'Grady, and he
went out. 1 stepped to the dour
with them. It was then a few min-
utes after eleven."
Werwee Mr. letratioa.
in the afternoon, Gainey said he
had made arrangements, but he had
not the stoney, and 1 resolved to go
and See Mr. Stratton "As 1 went
down the stairs," continued the wit-
ness, "1 met Mr. Stratton at the
foot of the .lairs, and I boweed to
him and said, 'Mr. Stratton I wish
to speak to you fur a moment;- thin

Yes sir, the 11th March. Without

Q. -Going back to the 10th of
September, Mr. Gamey refused to
deliver up the letter of the 10th be-
cause of something that he wanted
from Mr. Aylcsworth which was nut
arranged or could not be arranged?
A. -No, 1 do not think so.
Q. -And you don't know to what
way any difficulty there might have
been was removed so that the letter
was ultimately delivered? A. -No, I
do not; 1 know nothing about that.
-Do you knew at wh
letter was delivered? A. -I know
nothing about that letter. 1 tell you,
further than'Mr. Gamey put It in his
pocket.
Ile said he never saw The Globe
interview to know it as such, but
Mr. Gamey and Mr. Hammond were
sitting at a table with a paper be-
tween them. Mr. Gamey had prev-
iously said he was going to give
The (Globe an interview, and he sup-
posed it was that paper. Beyond
this he knew nothing about the In-
terview.
Q. -When did you first hear about
that -The Globe interview. A. -'flat

give It that day.

"What for?" asked Mr. .;lake.
"Ile offered err 92.000," wax the
reply. "If 1 would swear to a lie."
"What lie?"
"That Mr. Stratton paid him 14,-
000."
Q -And he didn't toll you where
he was going to gut the $2,t)00? A.
-Well, 1 cannot say.

piano factory that your father,
Capt. Sullivan. had raid that a he
wanted to make appointments that

Yee, I think I inly have said that;

place; what do you say to that?
A --The statement Mr. Gainey
made about that, his statement in
connection with that, Is a fuluehpod;
that 1s all I can say about that.
Chancellor Boyd reads from his
own notes of Gamey's evidence, as
to the statement that Sullivan ad-
vised Gamey to resign, and said
that the protest could be got rid of,
and that • fairly good thing might -
be made out of it.
Mr. Johnston -Q. -You have hoard
what his Lordship has stated? A. --
Yes.

you and Gamey? A. -No, sir, It
did not.
Q. --Did you over advise him to re-
sign? A, -No, sir, I don't think 1
did.
Q. -Did you ever tell him that the
protest could be got rid of? A. -No,
sir, I did not.

anybody to deal with that protest?
