Q. Did you or someone then state that he had acted fairly? A. Yes, sir.

Q. Why didn't you then make the statement to the board of health that he had offered you ten dollars? A. Because my instructions came from the chief chemist, Mr. Martin.

By Mr. Boardman:

Q. Not to tell him? A. I was told to tell Mr. Martin.

Q. And not to tell the commissioner? A. I was not told to go to the commissioners and tell them; it goes from Martin to the sanitary superintendent, and from there to the commissioners, and if there is anything then to be done, I am called upon.

By Mr. Pbentice:

Q. It was not an official communication as you thought? A. That was my impression of course.

Q. Did Mr. Martin ever give you any instructions not to inform the commissioners? A. No, sir.

Q. Have you ever named a sum of money to him which he should pay you or might be paid you? A. No, sir; never.

Q. And have you ever said to him in words or substance, that the table in the room in which you were, that there was more money passed over it than you and he ever saw? A. No, sir.

Q. Have you ever said to him in words or in substance that Dr. Osborn would not attend because he had a black eye? A. No, sir.

Q. Did you ever state to him that Dr. Osborn had had some altercation on the street the day before and had been hurt? A. I did not, sir.

Q. Is it not a fact that in the trial of Macomber and IntemaDn which was called on Monday, and which is adjourned until to-morrow in the preparation of evidence the fact of this attempted bribery by Macomber had been mentioned? A. Yes, sir.

Q. And so when you were asked whether it would ever have come out if you kept your own counsel, would it not have come out on this trial? A. It would, sir.

Q. And that was the first trial since the last one mentioned about which there was trouble? A. Yes, sir.

Q. Therefore, whether you had determined to keep your mouth shut or not the fact would necessarily have appeared in court when these men were tried? A. Yes, sir.

Mr. Boabdman.— The witness says it was Charlie Waite's place.

The Witness.— This was in the Brevoort House.

Q. And you kept no copy? A. I kept no copy.
