He said probably the box wasn't missed, so the box Was kept in my room for nearly two years and finally sent to Carscallen in Watertown sometime this year. KNEW OF A SLICK SCHEME “1 had thought everything had been dropped, and I was glad of it, for I began to be afraid of the tran- saction, ihut Shibley came to me and told me that a man in Boston or some placeâ€"a grain or‘co'mmission merchant. I thinkâ€"had told him that he knew of a slick scheme to win el- lett ?“ queried Mr. DuVernet. “I have been asked that question before. and don’t think it was,” said the witness. “Shilsley asked me to see Carscal- 1min Wutux'town, and enquire as to getting a supply of a certain kind of ballot boxes equipped with patent sire handles. 1 had to g) to \‘at- trtown. anyway, to see relations. blizblcy was an old friend of mine, and I guess I was easy,_ so I under- t00k the commission about the mid- die oi August last.

Reilly is lecturer in Latin and in l’ccgiopolis College, Kingsâ€" Bryn-k approached Mr. DuVernet was proceeding to en quire as to details of the ensuing conversation with Ruttan and Phil Lott, when‘ the witness resentfully declared that he was not getting fair treatment. He asked for more protection from the Court, and said he wanted to tell the truth, but strongly objected to being askeal to state some things too positively. After a. somewhat heated argument with examining counsel‘ and magis- trate, Reilly continued to answer questions . “to the best ofihis abiliâ€" I, "‘fxiiihl' finderstand he was Phil A.

"‘I don’t know,”" said lllcilly. “I can’t swear to the identity of a man who calls himself by different names at different times.” PHIL LOTT ENTERS DRAMA Resuming after lufich, Reilly nar- rated the next chapter of the stoxy. With the $100 in his pocket he went to Watertown, paid Roof for twenty trick boxes of the latest machine de- sign, andV warranted to win elec- tions. The boxes were accepted and shipped as per instructions. Witness then returned to Kingston. “Two men called on me,” said witness; “one of them was a. Mr. Ruttan and another introduced him- self as ‘Mr. Hughes.’ Ruttan gave me a letter of introduction from Mr. Shibley, naming the Mr. Hughes of the visiting deputation as Mr. Phil A. Lott, brother of Byron O. Lott. The court adjourned at 1.30 for luncheon. Mr. DuVernet pressed Witness for the name of this Shibley agent, but Reilly said he had not been anxious to look at him, and the stranger' was equally anxious not to be seen. The money was handed over silently and in the dark and Reilly could not identify the donor, although he had met aim on the street by appoint- ment through Shibley. package up' from Presscott, and lat- er sent down $10 to pay express charges. This gave Whalen “a. bon- us” of about $77 for his trouble. The boxes were sent to qu‘ensburg to a Prescott man named “Cavanagh.” At Whalen’s suggestion Byron Lott gave the addresses to which the box- es should be sent. John R. Brem- mer, of Bancroft, was named for Hastings, and W. P. Carefoot of Kingston. A fictitious name was given for Frontenac. Continuing, the witness described the events of his next trip with mr. Lo-tt. The scene changed to Brock- ville, where during a long stop over waiting. for trains Lott discussed the Iquestion of what it was going to ycost, but Reilly would not discuss 1money matters with Lott, preferring to leave all that to Shibley. A MYSTERIOUS, STRANG'ER‘ Returning to Kingston, witness saw Shibley, who intimated that Lott wasn’t “anteing up" properly. 0n Shibley’s request Reilly wrote to Lott the.letter of Oct. 10thA already filed in court, making the rqquost for $25 to defray expenses, and statiog the,cost of the boxes. In response there came some mysterious messen- ger from Mr. Shibley, who handed over $100 in bills to pay Roof. “What was the reason for introduCe ing this mysterious stranger ?” ask- ed Mr. DuVernet. “I couldnft say," witness replied. “You had better ask Shibley." - 1 : ’the package of bow for him, tho- “‘5“ witness .committ. 1’8er and High Whalen was not informed as to, 5131914 the SHINY. pal-fies. . _ Twhat he was handling.

He declined to conceal them in the attic of his house as re- quested by the police magistrate. _ Harryetc had confessed to him that his express package of bogus ‘ ballot boxes were going to cause trouble and asked for advice as to how to get rid of them. Continuing, witness said that his suspician had been aroused concern- ing hthe boxes when he had turned the over to Mr. Harryete, the Dan- croft police magistrate, in whom he did not put very much confidence. The suspicions had been greatly strengthened after the story came out, and. he found that the myster- ious‘ packages had disappeared. “After the story of the. bogus bal- lot boxes came out. on election day” said Mr. Bremner, “I warned the people through my paper not to be too hasty in passing judyncnt on the case. I said that some toé 289L933 supporters of the party'might have got into trouble.” Reverting to the stop-over ‘ at Brockvi-lle on the trip up from Pres- cott, witness told of a. visit to Hon. Ge‘o.

He brought out. the fact that Reilly had nothing whatever to do with the invention of the box, and that he had never said,‘a.s repQrted in the press, that with this box working for the Libâ€" eral party "God Almighty couldn't defeat them..’ Mr. Reilly stepped dOWn from the witness box after an examination lasting over four hours.
