Chancellor Boy 11"“ proceed? My, Blakeâ€"Yes, my The First Objection. Mr. Johnston objected to the width of Mr. Blake’s charges in the terms quoted in the verbatim report. Chancellor Boyd made it clear at once that the Commission would take Mr. Gamey’s speech in the On- tario Legislature as the primary basis of its work. ' ,3_L A_ 1‘:n vol,“ Iv v Mr. Johnston did not insist on his contention at the time. but after Mr. Gamay had entered the box W. R. Ridden. K.C., raised the Same point in ohiecting to Mr. Blake’s right to as}: what "Cap." Sullivan had said to Mr. Gamey at Allundale. Chancellor Boyd at once turned to th- text of Mr. Gamey’s speech in the legislature and declared that th-~ Commission would hear all that. Mr. (Iamey had to say about the statements of the Sullivans and ev- erybody else mentioned in that Bpmch and then it Would be a. ques- tion of connecting the makers of these admissions with the accused Minister or Government. The Last Word. When Mr. cellar Boyd those words: VAL» W‘cll 16;. Ridden somebody has to hme the last word in this matâ€" ter n Mr. Blake called Mr. R. A.

The returns by the returning officer were declared on the 27th of June follow- ing. The result of the general elec- tions as declared was 51 supporters of the Government and 47 Conserva- tives. Subsequently Mr. Munro, Lib- eral, died. and that left 50 Liberal supporters and 47 Conservatives. The recount in Lennox reduced the num- ber of Liberal supporters to 49. A protest against my election was entered and served upon me about the 14th July in Manitoulin. First Interview With Sullivan. I had the first interview with Capt. John Sullivan at Allandale, about the 7th August. I had known him about 15 years- When I rememâ€" ber him first he was working for a lumber company at Little Current, and later on he Was in the employ alt‘n oucv- vâ€" oi *he Ontario Government. as timber sealer, or inspector. or bushranger. I had seen him a great many times in Connection with different political campaigns. He was aIWays a Liberâ€" al in politics. I think he must have been in ihe employ of the Govern- ment about ten years. Q.--On this oceasion when you met him in Allandalc. who spoke in re- gard to anything connected with e1- ection matters? A.â€"I just saw him two minutw thexe and he spoke to "here Mr. Ridden objected and the Medlor’s dissent 1738 made an al- ready noted. - n‘ . n ,‘I: Mr. Gamey, resuming: Capt. Sulli- van said to me: “I understand they have strong evidence against you up there on the protest.” I said Ihad not, hmrd anything particqu about it. He said they had evidence to disqualify me. I remarked to him that I knew they could not do that, hut he insisted mere was strong evi- den’c against Ire. He did not recom- trrnd any course. I went on to Tor- r-t .

Further he said, ”You can get rid of that protest, the thing can be ' t, you can get rid of it and make a fairly good thing out of it." I said I did not think that could be done at all. I said I think the Government is so close that no person would care to go into that: sort of thing, and he Said it could‘ be done; he Would prove to me that $5,000 or f that kind, could be ' nd the proteSt got days he Would get some person to come and convince me that it could be done. I told him I would Wait and see. I Was out of the city, I think, on the 8th, and was in again on the 9th, 11th and 12th. I saw Frank Sullivan, and his father. Cap- tain, at different times and discussed the questiOn a little with him. The Stock Proposition. Q.â€"Did he speak of ‘who were de- sirous of having this done? A.â€"-Ho spoke of the Government generally: I don’t remember him mentioning any rarticular mcmLer of the Govern--‘ ment. I left Toronto about} the 12th of August (TuwdayJ‘ On my return home I spoke about the approaches that had been made to me to J. R. IIIch or, Charla C. Platt, at Gore Bay. and R. .1. Porter at Gore Bay, and my father and brother. Mr. Ridden Object. Mr. Ridden disputed Mr. Blake’s right to bring in the fact that aftcz the first approaches were made to him Er. G'amey had consulted those he named. The defence fought hard to exclude all reference .to what Mr. Gamay had said to his ConserVativc friends. Mr. Blake argued that them ROBERT R. GAMEY, 31.1’ sayings were necessary to establish Mr. Gamey’s good faith from the, start, and the Commission admitted the evidence in modified form. ‘ Decided to Go On. , was out of the city, I xe 8th, and was in again 11th and 12th..

Sullivan out at my stable. He: s.;id he had come from Toronto to1 get some written agreement from me' to the effect that I would support. the Government for the purpose of; convincing them that I would supâ€"i port them. I said that I would not! give this to him at that time, buti that I would see him in Toronto in a few days. Sullivan, I understand. drove back to Gore Bay that night. I saw Capt. Sullivan next morning in Gore Day, and with my brother and him \Vcnt to Cutler on the boat, and from there by train to Sudbury. Sullivan Went back to Toronto. At Gamey's Fsrm. Mr. Gamey under continued ination said: ‘ ‘ l-â€"- m:‘ a. few days. SE drove back to ( I saw Capt. 3‘ in Gore Bay, 1 and him Went boat, and from 1 UL Uuuu. Mr. Gamey said that he then con- fided his negotiations with Sullivan to Mr. McGnegor of Gore Bay, and later to Mr. C. C. Platt, and they decided that he should go on and see what the Government would do. He went from Sudbury to Arnprior, and about the 25th of August left Arn- prior for Toronto, where he met Sulâ€" livan and his son frequently. The Twu Agreements. this visit to Toronto in Cap. Sulli-i an agreement. i This agreement, the Witness cxâ€"; plained, was destroyed a. few days1 aftemards,_ on the 25th or 26th. One Was signed by himself and the other by Frank Sullivan. Mr. Gameyâ€"One agreement was that I should support the Govern- ment on all Votes of Want of confi- dence, and that I Would not resign during this session. That was prac- tically all there Was in the agreement ‘that I signed. In the agreement that Frank Sullivan signed they agreed to pay three thousand dollars in cash some time between the 3rd and 5th, and $2,000 after the session, of the riding. the expenditure of pubâ€" lic money and the withdrawal of the ‘ protest against me in the courts. ‘ They said they wanted the first agree. ‘ ment so that Cap. Sullivan could go and show it to some member of the Government. . I held the agreement Signed by -.-L..-n¢rl *A him before he left for his Way back.

Asked to give details of the tim- ber deal, Mr. Gamey said they were to get. McGregor lsland, or some other limit, and a man was to get, the money and 'to pay the (lovemâ€" ment for the timber, and then Frank and the man were to divide the money equally betWeen themselves, and if more than $5,000 was receiv- ed, he.‘ Gamey, was to get a share. He was to get $5.000 anyWay. But there Was some difficulty between the Ontario and Dominion Governments as to the ownership of the limit, and that shut out the Welland man en... tirely: “the Government understandâ€" ing that the timber Was being given for the purpose of buying me.” Connecting the Government. ank Said he went to Mr. Gibson,‘ who said to see Mr. Stratton, and we seemed to be dealing printipally with Mr. Stratton ever sine: that. ‘ It was arranged that I was to get ; the money before long. before I left Toronto on that occasion. He proâ€" mised them he would see Mr. Smyth on his return, and see if anything could be done with him. He next saw Frank Sullivan between the lst and 10th of September, seeing him frequently during that time. It. was arranged that they should go to Mr. Stratton, and discuss patrouage, and the payment of the money, which‘ he understood to come from Stratton, through Sulljvnn.

He was not ready on the 11th to carry out some arrangement he spoke of, and he spoke in an inquiring Way of who should handle the parcel, wondering if Vance was in the city, as he Would be a good man to handle the money.
