Quay-'5 Friends Claim,’l‘lmt IIe Haul

No Know—ledge of Loans Made on
His Accoiult—Senuttn GVV'ul the

Bank ., 236 In stead of‘ .370 .000.

PHILADELPHIA April 19.—The de-
fense ‘had its innings yesterday in the
trial of Senator Quay, and it made the
mest of its opportunity. Expert Ao—
countant Meyer Goldsmith, the com—
monwealth’s witness. was under a
scorching fire of Grass examination all
day, and the result thereof justifies the
opinion that the network of evidence
VV-lought by the prosecution from the
book 3 of the broken lianl: t-; 11ding to
show Senate: Quay‘s :ui. tV pa: ticipa-
tied in the unlawful use cf the bank’s
money Vvas very much ska-lien by the
admissions the witness was compelled

. to make under the skillful questioning

of Attorney A. S. L. Shields, admit-
tedly the-best c oss‘ examiner practic-
ing at the Pllila elphia bar.
ef the apparently damaging entries at-
tached to ,Senator Quay’s name or ac-
to on
Monday were explained away or great-
ly modified by the statements of the
comlnonwealth’s own witness. Judge
Biddle’s ruling of Monday had the ef—
fect of confirming testimony tending to
show the existence of a conspiracy be-
tween Quay. Haywood and Hopkins, as

' charged in the indictment, during the

1 t1? .

two years ending Nov. 17, 1898. Lawyer
Shields got from the witness the admis—
sion that" if Hopkins had properly cred—
ited Senator Quay’s ‘ account with
amounts that belonged there the beeks
would show that at the beginning of
the alleged conspiracy, Nov. 17, 1896, the
senator owed the bank only $236 instead
of over $70,000, as is alleged.

Taking up the allegation that Senator
Quay had borrowed $185,000 during the
“settlement period” énding Oct. 31, 1897,

:the last settlement before the bank
closed, Mr. Shields forced from Gold-

smith piece by piece facts tending to
show that in nearly every instance the
amounts charged to Senator Quaylwere
really loans to other persons, politicians
mostly, for whom Quay indorsed.
'Where there was a definite loan'to Sen-
ator Quay the repayment was clearly
proved. In this connection it might be
well to say that District Attorney Roth-
ermel claims that he has clearly estab-
lished the fact he started out to prove——
namely, that $200, 000 of the state de-
posit in the bank was set aside for the
use of Senator Quay, and VV hether he
used it himself or loaned it to others is
not material in proving the conspiracy.

Toward the close of the day’s pro-
ceedings Mr. Shields asked Goldsmith
sane questions which indicate that the
defense is about to attempt to prove its
contention that Senator Quay was the
victim of Cashier Hopkins, who, they
assert, used the name- and account of
the senator without the latter’s knowl—

edge to cover his own juggling with

the bank’s funds.

>Hopkins, they say, appears to have
used fictitious names for loans, pre-
sumably to himself, as well as the name
of Senator Quay. He had the reputa-
tion of being a heavy speculator in the
stock market, and the inference is that
the defense will attempt to prove that
Senator Quay had no knowledge what-
ever of the alleged loans on his account.

Mr. Shields put a different complexion
on the entries in the “red book" by
compelling the witness .to admit that
many of his figures were not proved by
entries in the regular bank books, but

were --the result of what he practically.

acknowledged to be his ”guesses” at
the meaning of certain unintelligible
figures written in the “red book.” Gold—
smith was still on the stand when court
adjourned for the day, and the ques—
tions put to him near the close were
full of promise of interesting develop—‘
ments.

Much of the sting VV as taken out of
the famous ‘shake the plum tlee” tele-

‘ ‘i the statement that the pur-
:; Metropolitan stock: contem-
p ated thereby V\ as made VVith $10, 000
r:‘ Senatm Quays own money his de-
posit at that period exceeding $60,000.

>Dcclure Him Innocent.
LONDON, April 19.—A
The Daily News from Paris deplo‘ring
the alleged decision of the government
to influence the court of cessation to
give judgment in the Dreyfus revision
proceedings about Aprilfl'l says that the
course mapped out for the tribunal is
not to annul the decision of the court
martial which condemned Dreyfus, but,
to declare that there is no new fact
bearing on, the case.

The News’ correspondent adds: “I be-

lieve the government intends to pardon '

Dreyfus as soon as the court of cassa—
tion has given its judgment. There is a
majority of ten judges against the pris-
oner, and the majority of the other nine
are very old men. Some of them are
ailing Vvith influenza. and might any day
be removed. 'The g0vernment will ac-
cordingly hurry the proceedings and in-
sure a decision which Will please the
army and the mails of the electors.”
The Paris correspondent The Times
confirms the report that the govern-
ment intends to hurry 'the decision of
the court of cassation in the 'Dreyfus
case and adds that the opinion seems to

, be well founded that the court will' de-

tide against revision.

 

Newspapers W'ill Resist.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 19. —-The
newspaper signature law as passed by
the recent California legislature goes
into effect today, and as many papers in
the state, including all the San Fran-
cisco dailies, will pay no attention to it
there will probably be some lively times
for California journalism. The law pro-
vides that all published newspaper 'ar-
ticles that reflect 011 any person’s char-
acter or tend to hold him up to ridicule
or contempt and articles reflecting on
the memory of the dead shall besigned
by the writer. The newspaper publish-
ers hold that the law is unconstitutional
and will fight it in the courts.
