THE PROSECU HON WITS A VICTORY.
Expert Testimony Given to Show

PHILADELPHIA, April 15.——Persist-
ent, keen and b1illiant argument be-
tween District Atto1ney Bother mel on
the one S do and Mes51s. Watson, Shap—
ley and Shields on the othe1-.upon the
admission of testimcny which may go
a long way to cs3.u.?..lisl1 the alleged
guilt of ex- United.c ales Senator Quay
“as the featu1e of yeste1da} 5 trial of
that distinguished defendant, and it
culminated in a decided Victory for the
prosecution. The “1ed cook” found in
Cashier Hopkins’ desk after his suicide
and upon the admission of which the
commonwealth so largely rests its case
“as the shaft the distiict atto1ney aim~
ed at the defense. To pave the way for
the final effort to introduce the book
itself he succeeded after frequent clash-
es with opposing counsel, sometimes
1 .tter and personal, in presenting expert Q
1zstimony to prove that the book was
1.ecessarily a book of the bank, as ac-
counts in the books admitted under the
courts 1uling \Vould be made intelligi-
ble by the3' ‘red book. ”
Before starting his examination Mr.
Rothsrmel‘read to the court a state-
ment of what he intended to prove. The
expert, he said, had made a thorough
examination of all the books in the
case. He found that previous to April
30, 1801, the People’s bank paid interest
on the state’s deposit to the state treas—
urer and that i"€COI(lS of such payments
were kept in a regular way on the books
of the bank.
After April 30, 1891, whenfldr. Hopkins
appeared on the scene, a new system
was adopted. This entailed the a ldition
of another book, now known as the ”1ed
book,” to the books theretofore kept by
the bank.
Meyer Goldsmith, an expert account-
ant, was the v. itness upon \V '1ic‘1 the
commonwealth denei 1derl t1 acco uplisli
its contention During the V. hole course
of the expert‘s examination objection
after objection was made by the de-
fense and as frequently overruled by
Judge Biddle, .while'the district attor-
ney in logical sequence drew from the
witness his conclusions as to the book,
based upon a comparison of what was
written on its pages with what appear-
ed in the other books.
-During the cross examination of the
Witness, which was conducted by Mr.
Shields, he testified to a page which
was missing. The defense repeatedly
endeavored to get from him the state—
ment that there might have been fig-
ures and words 011 that page which
would clearly explain the entries on the
other pages and that the book as it now
stands is unreliable.
This was ruled out, following an ob—
jection by the district attorney. This
would seem to indicate that when the
final effort to present the book in evi-
dence comes today the defense will
make another determined opposition to
it on that ground, even if the court
should decide that with relation to the
transactions testified to it is a book of
the bank.
During all the examination touching
on the book, with the exception of the
two items ,mentioned, no intimation of
the amounts or names’was allowed to
reach the jury. The prosecution all
along, however, has alleged that this
book will show that Cashier Hopkins
computed interest on state funds and
deposited the money to Senator Quay’s
cred t.
