Looks Bad for Quay as State Money Tied to Loans
The ninth day of ex-Senator Quay's trial covered state money deposited in a bank and loans to numerous individuals. Expert Goldsmith testified the books lacked exact payment entries and that some interest payments exceeded recorded amounts. The district attorney introduced Hopkins papers to show a conspiracy to divert funds, while defense objected to admissibility. Witnesses including Widener’s son and Lane testified to interest paid on call loans, with the defense admitting a separate interest payment. The judge allowed the contested paper as evidence before adjourning court for the day.
