BRIBERY CHARGE
BYTEGHNIGALITIES
Contrary to Expectation, Accused Re
fuses to Plead Guilty and Files Mo
tion to Set Aside Indictment Upon
Legal Grounds.
LOS ANGKLKS, Cal., Jan. 10.
Bert 1L Franklin, ormcr emjiloye of
,tba, MoNumavii Uefonsu, . clianjod
with bribing and attempting to bribe
jurors, did not plead to the uhargc
against him in Superior Judge Wil
lis' court today. Instead, Attorney
U'eompt Davis, Franklin's counsel,
filed a motion to set aside, mid quash
the information in both cneos against
his client.
Judge Willis named Saturday at 10
o'clock as the time for hearing the
arguments on the motion.
In setting forth the grounds for his
motion and asking a later date for
the arguments upon it, Davis created
a sensation by declaring thnt ho in
tends Friday to tile demurrers to the
federal indictments returned against
Olaf A. Tvoitmoe, A. K. Clancy, An
ton Johaunsou and other labor lend
ers, demanding thnt they be quashed.
The grounds urged by Davis al
leged that Franklin was committed
illegally by a magistrate, there not
being suffioient cvidenco to hold him
for trial. Tho sanio grounds were
urged for the quailing of tho in
formation in both cases pending
against Franklin, the spoeiilo charges
alleging the bribing of Permnnont
Juror Kobert F. Bain and an attempt
to bribe Prospective Juror George N.
Loekwood in the McNamara trial.
Franklin today spocifleally denied
a leport that ho will plead guilty to
tho charge, should Davis' motion he
overruled. lie refused to communt
further on the ease.

IS ACCUSED
OF PADDING
HIS PAYROLL
J. W. Hayes, Supcervisor of Eleventh
Road District, Compelled to Refund
Money Alleged to Have Been Re
ceived in Excess of Expenditures.
REMOVED FROM OFFICE
BY COUNTY COURT
Had Charge of Work in Gold Hill Dis
trict During the Past Season
Complaint by Werkmen:
J. W. Hayes, road supervisor in
the Klovcnth district, comprising the
Gold Hill region, win compelled by the
county court Wednesday to make
restitution of .?12G.14 'that he had
drawn for road work during the past
senson through nllegod padded pay
rolls and dismissed from office.
The list of county expenditures ns
published by the Mai! Tribune showed
that in many instances Hayes was
drawing warrants for more money
than the men employed by him re
ceived. Their real payrool was com
pared with the published payrool by
the men, with the result that charges
were filed with tho county court
against the supervisor.
Part of those overcharges, Hayes
ucplaiued, were due to n verbal coli
traot with the" comity mart whereby
he was allowed $700 lo do n certain
amount of work. As the actual pay
roll was considerably uuder the .f700,
he had padded the payrool to moot
the amount duo him, having paid tho
men bimelf instead of putting in a
blanket claim for the $700.
Excluding this $700 account, evi
dence presented to tho court showed
that Hayes had in other eases padded
the payroll to the extent of $120.11,
which he drew his check for.
Only last week a petition was re
ceived from Gold Hill asking the con
solidation of three adjoining rond
districts nnd the appointment of
Hayes as supervisor over the consol
idated district.

Carnegie was chijqwr and smiling.
Ho drew from an inside jmcket n

clared thnt he entered 'tho iron busi

,"In 1802' ho continued,,"! went

Carnegie then told of bringing tho
