ALLDS BRIBERY CASE Examination of Witnesses Goes On Without Interruption ' Senators Who Testify Are Not Dis qualified From Acting As Judge. All Member Voted Against Disqual ifying F.vrept One I'niiiiportant Testimony. (By Leased Wire to The Times) I Albany, N. V., March 2 Senators are not disqualified from sitting as Judges in the Allds-C'onger bribery in quiry by testifying in the case as wit nesses. This mooted point was set tled today preliminary to the begin ning of the day's session of the in quiry court. After a general debate the senate voted by '12 ayes to 1 noe that.no member called us a witness would be debarred" from casting his vote in arriving at the final judgment in the case. Senator Bayne was the one mem ber In the negative,;- Senators Brack- ett, illinium, Newcombe, Hose, and Wainwright were excused from vot ing. Before asking to be excused Senator Wainwright asked the chair if he was to be called as a witness. Senator Davis replied that every member might be called before the case was amended. The calling of the senators began. Senator Hinman told of the Ten Eyck conference between himself and Sen ators Brackett, Hewitt,',, Davenport, Newcombe, .Rose and Conger. Senator Hinman testified that Con ger told where the alleged bribe was paid, and how it was delivered. "Did he say how or w'here the money was obtained?" "In the talk there were different years referred to. I have no recol lection so far as 1 1)0 1 Is concerned." Senator Hinman related the story of the conference substantially as did Conger on the stand. The testimony of Senator Rose, like Hinman's, went to show that Hiram G. Moe was not mentioned at the conference. Senator Agnew and Senator Newcombe, through whom the story of the conference first be came known to the world, corrobo rated the others. Senator Brackett repeated the same story and said, "I believed that dur ing the regime of Speaker Nixon there was the most corruption, but I had never been able to get. any facts." Senator Davenport gave more cor roboration. Senator Hinman was recalled a moment and George T. Kelly, mem ber of the assembly rules committee in 1901, gave unimportant testimony. Then came what was regarded as the foundation of an alibi for Allds, in the testimony of HarVey J. Dan iels, postmaster at Norwich, Allds' home, town. Daniels was clerk of the assembly ways and means com mittee in .1901. He told of Allds' actions on the day the bribe is al leged to have been passed, and de clared that the delivery of the $ 1,000 envelope by Moe did not take place that morning. He said he remem bered clearly as it was his first year ind all developed on hlni that day In the committee's work. Cross-examined by Judge VanWyck Daniels admitted that last night he told Attorney Lewis E. Carr, Allds' counsel, what his testimony would be. THE CORPORATION TAX.
