The testimony showed that the firms mentioned received large sums of money from mysterious sources after freight bills had been paid ; sometimes in express packages, always from New York, but sone knew who sent It. Un the stand Freyschlag frankly referred to an agreement with Thorns whereby his firm was to receive 25 per cent re bate on freight bills, and told bow tbe money was deposited iu New York to toe firm' credit by one Jackscn, whom he did not know. He could not remember whether he or Tbomaa had suggested the use ol the name. At first he said that tbe idea was his, but on cross-examination he changed and said that be could not re member.

New York Life Company Money Ap propriated Openly and Avowedly for Campaign Purposes. New York, May S6. Th appellate division ot the Supreme court today handed down a decision discharging from custody George W. Perkina, whom th Supreme court had held to await action ol th grand Jury on a charge ot grand larceny In connection with th campaign contribution ot th New York Life Insurance company to th Republican national committee. District Attorney Jerome, upon hearing the court' decision discharg ing Mr. Perkins, aald: I shall appeal thla case to th court ol appeal and get a drolstonthar." Justice Mcutugniin, wno wrote the prevailing opinion, said: It the facta set out in the deposi tion upon which th warrant her was Issued he construed In the most liberal way consistent with a judtslal deter mination, I am ot the opinion that such facts do not establish tbat tbe crime ol grand larceny baa been committed, aa the same ia defined by the penal code. Th defendant had right to give ol hi own fund to the chairman ol th Republican national committee. Th relator made the contribution at the request ol the president ol tbe Insur ance company with the express under standing that it would repay him. Tb money belonging to the Insurance com pany waa appropriated openly and avowedly by the relator, alter all the facia had been stated to th finance committee, to reimburse him lot tbe money which he had previously advanced." Justice Patterson, while agreeing that Mr. Perkins cannot he lound guilty ot larceny, said that he may be cotnpe led by a civil action to make restitution, inasmuch as the officer of the company bad no power to make tb contribution. Justice Ingraham says it must be understood the court is not now concerned with the civil responsi bility ol Mr. Perkins ,to the company. Me continues: 'It was McCall who appropriated the money ot the corporation, and the officer or employe ot the company, who obeyed hi direction In making that payment, Without Intent to do more than carry ont the inatiuctiona of tbe president of the corporation, were not, aa I view .it, responsible tor the act." Justice McLaughlin says: "It cannot be said that Mr. Perkina did not bave a moral claim, even though, owing to the fact tbat the pres ident doubtless exceeded his authority, he may have bad no legal claim for reimbursement."
