Nothing was snld to him In regard to

later on Wilson told him that there
would be S, 000 In It for him If he voted
the right way. Just before the final
fassHge of the ordinance granting the
nlted Ratlroads an overhead trolley
franchise, Wilson again met him and
told him he would only be able to secure
$4,000.
"1 asked him what kind of business
he was doing." replied Lonergan to a
question from Ileney, "and he then told
me that I could take It or leave It as I
saw fit."
The question. "Did Gallagher pay you
anv money subsequently?" precipitated
a lively debate In which Rogers sought
to show that as no Indictments had
been returned In the prize fight cases
the payment or money did not pre
last winter. They have depended upon i gUme a prior pxomlse. Heney defended
the states of Wyoming and Washington
mainly for their coal supply and it Is
h stated that the raiiroaa companies can

of car shortage, contending that the
' heavy shipments of grain have utilized

Lonergan then declared that Galla
gher handed him an envelope which con
tained 11,600 In small currency, even as
small ns 1 bills. ""When I found I had
only 11,500." said Lonergan, "I put It
In my pocket and went out to Galla
gher's home and asked him if a mistake
had not occurred. I told him I waa
$500 short, and he said the envelopes
had gut mixed up. lie then paid me the
rest the other $500."
"After that time did you receive any
other money from Gallagher?"
"I'd like to make a statement. I met ,
Mr. Gallagher on the steps of the Hl
bernla bank. I asked him when he waj
coming through, and he said: 'Here,
now, cut thnt out, 1 paid that money.'
Then I looked in my pocket and found
I hnd been carrying it around with me
ror a week. There waa 2,oon in it."
At this point Juror Mortensen Inter
rupted and asked if he could ask a
question. Judge Lawlor Instructed him,
ana he then asked ir this envelope con
taining $2,000 which Lonergan had in
advertently carried In his pocket was
the same as that which he had referred
to In the GIiihs case, or was attll an
other. Lonersran haatened to explain
that It waa the Identical, misplaced
boodle.
Juror Chase took up this matter alao
and asked the witness:
"I suppose It was quite a shock to
you when you opened the pocket book
and found the envelope with $2,000
In it?"
"Yes. It was." answered Lonergan.
"That's all," snapped the Juror In ap
proved legal fashion.
When Rogers took up the cross-examination
he went directly to the sub
ject of the unsuspected bribe which the
Jurors had broached.
"What was your reason for voting
for the overhead trolley?" Lonergan was
questioned.
"The getting of that money," an
swered the witness.
The Lonergan statement was here
produced and after an argument was
read to the Jury.
In his "statement" IyOnergan discussed
almost everything from the Ray City's
water company to the gas monopoly and
finally got down to the overhead fran
chise. He declared he voted for the
franchise because he blleved It waa a
need of the day. He asserted he had
been promised no money and wound up
with a glowing picture of the future
of the labor union party.
W hen you said that," demanded Rog
ers, "you thought you were giving an
interview to a newspaper, didn't you?"
"A magaalne," murmured Lonergan.
"But It wasn't under oath." Rogers then
produced an affidavit which Lonergan
said he had signed In Ignorance. This
was the affidavit which Ruef had ob
tained when he was seeking to oust the
district attorney.

J Tears for an alleged attempt to murder
w. w. oiaugnier on his rarm two and
on half miles from Woodburn, was
held In the governor's office yesterday
afternoon.
The remonstrance was signed by
something over 800 persons, including
All of Slaughter's immediate neighbors.
The chief argument of the petitioners
for Remington's pardon was that he had
done the shooting in self defense. The
petition was signed by the foreman and
two of the other Jurors who brought In
the verdict against him. It stated that
Remington had always previously borne
a good character and that Slaughter
was known as a desperate man and had
rrevlously threatened Remington's life,
t was a repetition of the argument for
the defense in the trial In which Rem
ington was convicted. Concluding, the
petition asked that Remington be par
doned and restored to his family.
' T. Brown, of Woodburn, who repre
sented the signers of the remonstrance,
said the argument of petitioners was
beside the question, as it had been de
cided against Remington by two Juries,
one of which had awarded Slaughter
damages and the other convicted his as
sailant. He said his client had been
shot In the back, which completely dis
proved any theory of self defense. That
the case was a deliberate attempt to
murder Slaughter had been established,
he said, and that there was generaj In
dignation that the sentence had been so
light As to restoring the prisoner to
his family, he said he had no family, as
he had been divorced from his wife on
account of bis own bad conduct with the
wife of Slaughter and was not living
with his children.
Governor Chamberlain asked several
questions as to the position of the par
ties during the shooting, and after the
arguments of- the attorneys asked that
certain parts of the evidence be put Into
his hands. He gave no indication what
would be his decision.
tlon in the service from these petty
quarrels.
Among those who testified for the
prosecution was Mayor Lane, who told
of the conditions leading up to the dis
charge of the detective force. Lane as
serted that the months of June, July
and August Just ended, regardless of the
great Increase In population, showed
less complaint and less crime than dur
ing the corresponding months of last
year, when the trouble arose between
the administration and the detectives.
There had been less trouble, the
mayor said, without the detectives, than
with them. He referred to the fact
that the city had been cleaned of the
mass of "stool pigeons," supported by
tho former detectives, and asserted that
reports of violations of the law were
mostly made through the Injured per
sons and newspapers.
Attorney Kalph E. Moody introduced
the testimony of J. A. Mears In support
of ex-I)otectl vos Joe Hay, J. F. Resing,
1j. G. Carpenter and Frank J. Snow.
Mears testified that Captain of Detect
ives Hruln received oral reports In
minor cases and had formulated the
written report rule in order to catch
some of the detectives napping. Could
he do this. Mears asserted, he would be
able to secure their discharge from the
service. Mears also declared that Hruln
only found fault with the detectives
behind their back.
The case was closed last evening for
the prosecution, but will be continued
until some time r.ext week In order to
permit the defense to present some
more witnesses.

' FOR GRILL GUESTS
Guests of the Portland grill were sur

several of the most popular operas in
Italian. He proved to be Gufdo Cec

Italy who has sung in every leading
grand opera house In the southern Eu

In America and came up from California
several days ago.
The depositors' bond subscription
fund grows steadily, and every day sees
from $25,000 to $40,000 additional bonds
and stock taken by the small depositors
of the Oregon Trust & Savings bank In
the campaign that Is being made to re
organise the bank with a capital of
1500,000 and reopen It as a "depositors
bank."
Today at the rooms of the Depositors"
association In the Lafayette building,
corner of Sixth and Washington' streets,
between $30,000 and $40,000 was sub
scribed by depositors who called to take
action to protect their deposits by the
filan recommended at the Armory meet

Every day one or more large Individ
ual subscriptions are received. Today

tion was taken, but the name of the sub
scriber was not given out
J. A. Habke of Vernon, who had a de-
?oslt of $1,989. today subscribed for
2,000 of stock in the proposed reorgan
ization of the bank, and will pay the
difference In cash. He said he would
probably arrange between this time and
the reopening to take from $6,000 to
$10,000 more of the bank stock, as he
believed the opportunity to build up a
strong, profitable banking business on
the foundation of the old Dank makes It
practically certain of success, once the
bank Is again open and running.
Depositors Feel Seoure.
M. A. Marshall subscribed today for
$600 telephone bonds and $400 bank
stock to offset a .deposit of 31,000.
There are many depositors having this
amount or more In the bank who are di
viding their subscriptions between tele-
phono bonds and stock in the reorganiz
atlon.
The Impression Is growing strong that
the Home telephone bonds ars really
among the best securities In the market,
and that those who invest in mem will

Had Option on Banco.
A report that W. Cooper Morris, form
er cashier of the bank, is the owner of
a $30,000 fruit ranch in Jackson county,
was brought to the attention of Mr.
Morris today. He made the following
statement regarding it:
"There Is this much truth In that
story: About six months ago I began
an effort to develop a fruit orchard In
southern Oregon. I made a deal for
some land for $8,000, and paid down a
few hundred dollars on It, virtually an
option, which I agreed to make good In
six months by paying the balance of
the purchase price. I fully Intended to
complete the purchase, and had ordered
the trees for planting the tract this fall.
The trees are now due to arrive, the
balance of the money on the purchase of
the land is also nearly due, Dut l am not
