BILLINGSLEY GIVES SIDELIGHTS
ON BRIBE STORY; STILL BN STAND
(By L'nltad States Cable*
SEATTLE, Tuesday, March 13.—
Bearing up well under cross examina
tion yesterday, Logan Billingsley was
led to make public more statements
yesterday than he had made on direct
examination regarding his alleged
bribe of Mayor Gill.
Attorney Fulton asked Billingsley
if there had been anything understood
when he had his “settlement with the
mayor concerning his quitting busi
ness.
“No." replied Billingsley, "but l re
member when the first edition paper
was off the press it said I’d agreed to
quit. I didn't want the people to
think l was going to quit so l fixed
it up in the next edition."
% Still under cross-examination Bill
ingsley testified:
“I told the mayor that l expected to j
pay for what I got and that while 1
didn’t expect to bo hounded to death
as I had been l expected to have a
little trouble. I told him that I just
wanted an even break.
“Did you tell the mayor how much
there was in the roll ? asked the at
torney.
“1 think l said that it was more
money than I had ever given up be
fore/* said Billingsley. “As I re
member I did not mention the amount
but he thought it was $7,500. Yan
derveer told me not to offer the mayor
less than $7,500.”
At another time in the examination
Billingsley testified that he pave Dr.
Matthews $1,000 to pet evidence on
which to base a recall against Mayor j
dill. He also said that he gave John
Evans, a Times reporter anti now a
fugitive, *.r>0.

Miss Nellie Grosvold and cousin
were vis tors for a few days in Feb
ruary.
The ground is at last generally j
clear of mow except in the creeks and
gullies. Sanak has had the hardest
winter in the memory of the oldest
inhabitant.
Andrew Swansen, a fisherman in
the employ of the Alaska Codfish
company, perished from cold and ex
posure on the night of F ebruar> 28. j
The unfortunate man started from
Company harbor to go to Moffett s
cove station, and lost his way in the j
darkness. His body was found but a
few rods from the station.
This was Father Hotovitsky's first
visit to the island. He made many
friends while here, not alone among
the members of his own church but
of everyone on the island.

SAN'AK. Alaska. March 2.—(Mail j
Correspondence.)—Andrew Grosvold,
the genial merchant of Sand point, has
always been regarded as a friend by,
the people of Sanak but his recent j
visit to the island savored more of j
“piracy on the high seas” than of •
friendship to the island.
On February IT he sailed into the.
harbor, bringing with him Rev. D. A.
Hotovitsky, dean of the Russian
church at Unalaska. The next day,
February 18, he betook himself to the
* local church where he was united in
marriage with Mrs. Katie Hanson, j
one of Sanak’s most beloved daughters
and a few days later set sail for his
Sand Point home, taking not only his
bride but her mother, an adopted son
and an adopted daughter, thus leaving
a vacancy in the school and two
homes. However, we all heartily wish1
