He denied that the New Sort Life user bad made political campaign contributions during tbe. period of bis presidency, except In the three Instance* which Mr. Perkins had *Jready detailed, and he could not ex--lain to what account they donations ad been charged to. , He volunteered the additional statement that Alton B. Parker, when Democratic Chairman in this State, had never missed a chance to collect corporation money for campaign purpose*, and that even during the National campaign of last year the Parker mana--gets—among them some of the very men recently quoted aa his critic*— bad been a source of continual annoyance to him. dogging him with their solicitations for money. Mr. McCall denied with vehemence that a dollar of the New Tork Life’s money had ever been used, with his knowledge. In the effort to Influence legislation in this or any other State, but admitted that hundreds of tbounds of dollars ot the company's oncy bad been advanced solely on bis „der to Andrew Hamilton, of tbe New iork Life's law department, and that Mr. HamUton represents the company in “legislative and taxation” ms tiers In tbe various States of this country as well as in Canada.

The four packers who admitted their guilt and left to Judge Humphrey Tbe.. power of sentencing them to a* high u penalty as two years In jail or a heavy

Samuel Well, of New York, vice-pres-ident of the company. B. 8. Cusey. traffic manager. Vance D. Skipworth aud Chess E. Todd, assistant traffic managers. Mr. Well was fined $10,000, the other

three $5000 each.

The defendants then entered their carriage* and were driven

It 1* understood that the plea was entered with the fall consent of Attorney-Gen-eral Moody, who was apprised of the
