The continuation of the Barry-Goodin
"p-ili" investigation, was heard last
night in the council chambers at the
city hall. Ther were no sensational
features of any kind to entertain the
audience other than at times, there
would be a wordy controversy between
the witness and Inspector Barry, which
would cause stir of animation among
the erowd,Khopeful that something wore
at ivmiou .'might occur. Councilman
StaiighinJ. was jhe first witness called.
In response to the query of City At
torney Smith to state the detail of
the transaction with reference to the
Kxehange street sewer, a far . a he
knew it he mM, "When this matterof
huiMing this newer on Kxehange street
came up, Mr. Barry wan known to nte
as a man employed by the city surveyor
to Wk after the work, and when it wa
almost completed, he came to the street
committee and suggested to add an
improvement which was needed, lie
said (hat the sewer ought to extend 40
feet further up the creek, a the way it
wan in the specifications, it should con
nect into the creek, which would give a
sharp cum into the sewer aud conse
quently would wash the embankment,
which in case of freshet would wah it
away.. Barry gave the details of the
way in vblch the extra work was to be
done, and said that 40 feet' would be re
quired, of the pipe, with a wooden box
at the upper end. For this work he
said that Goodin wanted to charge $113
tilt that he had 'jewed' him down? to
$95. The committee thought that
BlirTy' suggestion wa a good one, and
sejtold him Jo have Goodin go ahead
iud do the work required,"
The following dialogue tKk place be
tween the citv attorney and the wit-
new
; ft. Did- you talk with Goodin about
the matter? - .
, A. I did not.
Q. Did you ever hear of any com
plaint from" Barry about ship spikes
being used on the Thirty-fifth street
newer instead of bolts as required in
the specifications!
A. Barry spoke to me on the eve of
she city election and called my atten
tion to do some little work on the
Thirty-fifth street sewer. I remember
he thought piles ought to be driven
down in front of the newer so as to
keep hgs from drifting ngaiust it It
was my opinion at the time express
ed, that the city' could not afford to
have the extra work done.
Q. Did you ever know of any objec
tion to, the sewer being made by the
council?
A. No, there was no complaint, so
far as I know.
The city attorney here conceded his
r
NEW
examination of the witness and Barry
who wa preent ked a .numtar of
questions bringing out the fact that he
had shown Stangland the proposed
extra work to 1 done, 01 day when
he had met him on the street. Hansen
was present at the time. At this time,
both of these coimellmen testified
that Barry had drawn a sketch of the
work on the sidewalk, and explained it
to them. Stangland further testified
that he hud examined the work after
completion and considered it a good job.
and worth i3, the price paid,
InsMvtor Barry caused some excite
ment when he asked Councilman Stang
land. "At the last council meeting, Mr.
Stangland, you were quoted by the
paper as stating that under no circum
stance would you trust Barry again,
that you had once, thought him an
honet man, but that now you had
changed your opinion: did you say
that?
Mr. Stangland: Yea, I will say that 1
did say that, but it needs an explana
tion. It was said on condition that the
affidavit of XT. Goodin in regard to you
getting tiO for your part in the Ex
change street sewer, was true. If that
charge is correct, then I still hold that
opinion.
Q. If thoe charges are not true,
have you any reason to change your
former opinion of Mr. Barry which you
held before the matter came up?
A. Xo, 1 have not.
Mf. Hansen wa next called. His ac
count of the dealings of Barry with the
committee, was substantially the same
aa that of his predecesaor. Councilman
Rohinvm testified to practically the
same thing as Councilman Hun-ten. City
Surveyor Tie was called and testified as
to the nature of the extra work that
was done giving his estimates on the
work. Referring to the acceptance of
the sewer Mr. Tee stated that he met
M. GooJin on the street one day and
spoke to him about it. He stated to
Goodin that be would not accept the
sewer until the bolts were put in. Mr.
Goodin, according to Mr. Tee, then said:
"I don't give a d n whether you ac
cept it or not. I have got my money."
Mr. Tee told Goodin that if such was
the case he might aa well sign the ac
ceptance, as the council bad already
paid him the money.
Street Superintendent Kearney gave a
short recital of the facts as he knew
them, but as he was not acquainted
with the circumstance was not both
ered much. This was the last witness
called, ,and the committee then ad
journed to meet at the call of the chair.
