HEAVY BLOWS
DEALT WALSH
IN CHICAGO TRIAL
Chicago. Dec? 11.--Two heavy blows
were dealt John R. tValsh by the
government yesterday when his trial
on the charge of misappropriating the
money of the Chicago. National Bank
was resume^. The heavier blow was
the testimony of C. M. Forman, who
swore that Walsh told-him he-was buy
ing in certificates to get -possession of
a,railroad. Thin testimony breaks the
Walsh claim that Walsh was forced to
buy the properties to protect h|s bank
investments.
The second .blow came from $he re
direct examination of Jo^ri ,K. tSchle-
fert, an unwilling witness.
Brunswick Elects Aldermen.
Special to The Georgian. i
Brunswick, Go., Dec. 11.—The .regular
city election was held yesterday. Only
a small vote was polled. The four bl-
dermcn nominated last month were
formally elected. '
What probably will prove to be the
last chapter of the thrilling "pump
story" was written Wednesday morning
when the water board met to consider
the contract for the pump, and the last
chapter was probably the most exciting
of,them all.
The committee Met at 11 o’clock In
the mayor’s office and It was 2 o’clock
before an agreement was reached. The
question of payment was the main one
on which the city authorities aqd the
pump officials could not agree.
The pump company contended that a
note for one-third should be paid in
July. 1908. and the notes for the re
maining two-thirds should be given for
January. 1909. The city contended that
the notes for the final two-thirds should
not be dated January. 1909, but should
not be delivered until the pump wa
erected, tested and accepted.
"I tell you candidly wo can not ac
cept those terms," stated C. T. Myers,
representing the Wisconsin Engine
Company.
"Do you flatly refuse?" asked Chair
man Rice.
"We have given you our ultimatum,”
stated members of the board.
Mr. Myers and W. P. Bloodgood, vice
president and attorney of the company,
held a conference and returned Ir
few minutes.
"We agree,” stated Mr. Myers, "If
the provision Is made in the contract'
that we get the notes regardless of
the test thirty days after erection,
we are hindered in any way by the city
from carrying out the contract."
This agreement was accepted.
The trouble began when it was found
that the contract read to the board
was notMhe one agreed upon at the
conference between the city and the
pump officials Tuesday. It developed
that Mr. Bloodgood had made the
changes In order that the board might
consider them.
The other points of dispute were mi
nor matters and were adjusted.
