aald tbat when ha assumed his offlo ha
, ' discovered tbat some man had been u-
terad fraudulently upon tha payroll.
; Ha had a eonfernc with City .Treas-
urer Werleln and Uia result waa that
both agreed that avery man drawing a
cUy warrant' must preaaat himself at
" tha treasurer's offlca when ha wants hla
:, "warrant, or a end an order for tha war
ant. Expert Clark had propoaad that a
general warrant be Issued to th trea
jurer and he pajrthe ealarios under it.
'That la impracticable," said Mr.
Warleln. ".Mr. Devlin and I spoke about
it. Such a plan would put th offlo
. right tnto- politics, and tha people, and
I and Mr.-Devlln aa two of the popula
tion, don't want either of our offices to
v tret into politics that la, while w hold
them. Make out a general warrant to
,. jtbe city treasurer, suah a Mr. Clark
proposes, and tha expert ' employe and
It he ordinary, laborer of the city will be
' at tha mercy of th disbursing officer
' when election is at hand. Ha d have to
pay what ha waa told to pay.- Under
- the warrant system .framed by Mr. Dev.
' lln and myself the map gets his money
at my counter, or it Is paid to soma
one to whom be has assigned hla claim.
. i -' Says Cask Bhould Be Counted.
' "As to th payment of warrants."
(continued Mr. Werleln, "soma of tbrelty
employes don't call for their salaries
for two or three . months. Assistant
Fir Chief Mike' Laudenkloa ask for
, -Sils warrant about every second, third or
fourth month. Chief Campbell loses
.month or two occasionally."
IiWhat about this padding of tha pay
foIlsT" inquired Councilman Rushlight.
: .-"Just as I aaW.- It happened .20
years ago, ao far aa Mr. Levlln and
' myself could ascertain from th book.
At wtf before I becam a city Officer."
- As to the counting of cash in his
, fflcei Mr.-Werielir aaiff lhat ttwarab
olutely' demanded by bla bonding com
pany. Auditor Devlin had said that h
could tell from his books and by check
ing up the dally entrlea just how much
' ,-wus in th treasurer's vaults at night
and how much ho should have to his
credit In the. different banks. Mr. Wsr
: lain said the auditor waa correct in his
opinion. ' Like th auditor, he believed
that when books ar experted th eaah
- ahould be counted. Expert Clark bad
aid that it was not neceasary to count
the oaah. - "

tion, asking If 'th witness read Peo

ter Thaw wrote while abroad describing

Paris, and whether th lack of an ad
" dress mad any difference In determin
Ing whether the author of it was Insane.
- He beaded off any speech by demanding
a direct answer, Evans declined to tn
- awer yes or no, but aald:
"It is a fair question and th address
might toe. A letter addressed to a bual
- nesa man about a carload of potatoes
might be all right, but th same letter
- addressed to a society woman would b
ridiculous."
: . : Vaag Criticise Jerome.. .
: Jerome returned to the Longfellow
letters, th Incoherency of which was
established early In th trial. Th wit-
, ness ldst no opportunity to criticise tb
(wording and form of Jerome's ques-
tlona. Jerome said: "Tsk on letter
that "shows mental insanity growing
Krofa a pathological condition." Evans
look so much tlm looking over the let-
- ter he forgot th question and asked
- the stenographer to repeat.
'. When tha question was read Evana
' asked It Jerom meant a pathological
condition f th foot, knee, arm or
mind. Jerome sadjy said ha meant tha
mind. Then Evana bad to go over all
the letters JMraln, . and after a long
search succeeded In finding one before
tie again forgot the question. 'He aald
exhibit "E" was such a letter as Jerome
described. Jerom then told him to ex
plain. ' . -5 ' .

Mr. Vaughn said he would prepare an
ordinance against th assignment of
warrants and would present it at th
next regular meeting of th council.
While on th stand Mr. Warleln said
he could not - nam th exact amount
of th stealings. The sum might ran

to be only IIOO.OM. - n ,4 j mean

Befor Mr. Warleln was alld aa a
witness. License Officers McBacharn and
Hutchinson testified at th request of
Mr. -Clark. Mr. Clark asked them if
they bad not requested him to eall at
the office of City Auditor Devlin in re
lation to his report upon th auditor's
office. Both officer readily admitted
that tbav had called upon Mr. Clark.
bat they said that they bad not naked
him to eall upon th auditor at any
certain time. - ' . '
Mr. Devlin had not demanded his at
tendance. He wanted to see Mr. Clark
In relation to th copy of th report- be
had nromlsed to send, but he had left
th data open. - Clark could call when
ever, he had tlm and waa in the neigh
bor, vod of the city hall. When th of
ficer saw Clark h bad satchels in his
hand and seemed. to be prepared for a
Journey. They had . called at his office
at the request of th auditor, because
he knew that they, being out on th
street th greater part of the day, would
fin him aomowher. It wa not a
"hurry-up" calL Devlin wanted to see
Clark only when the latter was not
busy. , . .
To prove his qualifications as an ex
pert. Mr. Clark produced recommenda
tions from -th connty cnurta from one
third of th counties of Oregon, several
n Wathlngton and from th city au
thorities of Astoria and Baker City.
Mr. Clark aald he had discovered dis
crepancies before Mr. Devlin entered
upon hi term of offlo. Most of these
discrepancies ran back ZD years ago.
Tha defaulters oould not be apprehended
nor th stolen money collected,' and ao
he had advised that "bygone be re
garded a bygones." There waa soma
scandal in connection with tha build
ing of the Morrison street bridge, but
he did not teU Just what it waa. He in
timated that there waa a shortage, and
that th vouchor showed nothing for
labor supposed to have been performed.
When Mr. Clark concluded th com
mute adjourned, subject to th eall of
Chairman Kellaher. Another meeting

Jerom tried to get at th point of
the pathological feature, but Evana de
murred from more explanation by pay
ing, "You don't r ant ma to wander
around and take up your time, do you?"
No, doctor, we don't want you to,
but w can't atop you," replied Jerome.
Evans all through th morning ses
sion continued making long speeches.
He dissertated at length on th dif
ference between th pathological con
dition of th mind and 1raln. Hla au
ditor gathered th impression that th
difference waa hard to describe.
"I ther such a thing as pathology

I'll explain," volunteered Evana
' "Oh, no; don't," exclaimed Jerom,
throwing up both bands.
"I'll be short." said th witness.

-"Read th question," directed Jerome,

"If we can get anything short, let's

A roar of laughter filled th whole
room. Jerom then turned to Delmaa
and begged: "Can't : u get an answer
out of him. Mr. Delmasf You brought
him her." Jerome then asked th
meaning of th word "mental." Evans
asked If Jerom wanted him to explain,
and Jerom hastily said "No."

Jerome sought to gain an admission
from Evans upon which to baa hi ef
fort to call handwriting, experts to

the officer of th Western Federation
of Miner as much aa possible all
through.
- H described hi rearrest and over
land journey to Wallace, but denied be

Moreover, that this madman was and
still is an employe of th government,
ha hidden the money he took, and 1
dwelling calmly under th belief that
he la not suspected, is th conclusion
of some of the most astute operative
now at work on th great mystery.

Governor Chamberlain Chen turns his
guns on Speaker Davey and gives him
a broadside. Th executive says In hi
arraignment of the speaker:
"There is another reason which Im

it has not become a law because of th
