Judge at Quay Trial Decides
Them Admissible.

DISAPPOINIlIBBI FOR THE DEFENSE.

The “Red Book" Not Admitted—This
Wins Found In Cashier Hopkins’
I 'Dnlk Alter His Suicide and the
' fll'onhl‘ at the People’s Bank.

PHILADELPHIA, April 13. —-Senato1
Qua gained a partial adxantage win
cour yesteiday by the apparent refusal
of Judge Biddle, for the present at
least, to admit as evidence against him
the famous “red book" which has fig-

-ured so pio'minently in the trial and

which is alleged to contain the key to
the case of the commonwealth. This
book was found in the desk of Cashier
Hopkins of the People’s bank after the
institution had closed its doors and that
"indiVidual had taken his'own life. It is
an ordinary daybook, about 12 inches
_long and 8 inches wide, with about 200
pages. Twelve pages are devoted to

- what the prosecution'charges is Hop-

kins’ record of his transactions in mon—

[ey- deposited by the state treasurer for
the advantage of Senator Quay. It con-‘

tains entries extending 'over several
years, and figures are written in’ it
which apparently show the calculation
of interest on sums of money approxi-
mating the state deposit, less certain

'deductions, fer the benefit of. Senator

Quay. These figures, the prOsecution
alleges, were “posted” from the red
book to the regulai ledger of the bank

containing Senator Quay’s account. In

passing upon the question of_ the ad-
missibility of the red book Judge Bid-
dle said:

“It does not st1ike me that knowledge
of the book has been brought home to
Senator QHay. It was not found among

shape in which books of‘a public insti-
tution are kept, but crowded in with a
sort ofrubbish, and an investigation of
I am
not satisfied. therefore. that this book
has been made competent evidence
against Senator QL‘ 11-11. ” I

This decision has part of an oral
opinion by the judge in which he es-
tablished the point that the 1egular
books of the bank were admissible as
testimony. District Attorney Rothermel

, quickly saw the disadvantgge the latter

part of the opinion placed him in, and
he sprang to his feet to assure the court
that he had not argued for the admis-
sion of the red'book, had not formally
offered it in evidence and might not- find
it necessary to make such offer. Judge
Biddle replied that he had understood
the argument of Tuesday and yesterday
morning to be on the admission of all
of the books and papers. but in view of
Mr. Bothermcl's statement he would

‘withhold his decision on this book until

it is (regularly offered and the ques-
tion argued. Counsel for Mr. Quay,
sceing their advantage, insisted that

they had included the red book in their"

argument against the admission of the
books, but the judge dismissedthe mat-
tor for the preSent.

The commonwealth contends that al-
though the redvbook VV as kept by Cash-
ier Hopkins in a separate compartment
away from the eyes of the other em-
ployees it was necessarily a part of the
bobkkeeping system of the bank, and it
will have to be admitted to corroborate
and explain entries in Senator Quay’s
account in the _ledger.

The lawyers for 'the defense were evi-
dently disappointed at their failure to
secure the exclusion of all of the books
of the bank’antl thus practically de-
str'cy the case of the prosecution. It has
been understood that Lawyer“ Watson’s
presence in the case was for the pur-
pose of making the fight against the
books. All of the evidence practically
against Senator Quay is~documentary
in the shape of‘letters‘ and book'entries,
and the attitude of his counsel has
clearly indicated a purpose to fight to

the bitter end against the introduction

of such evideuce.
