The testimopy was given by provincial police Inspector Har- old Graham in Frontenac County court. Mason, a Kingston busi- nessman, is being tried on charges of offering bribes of $10,- 000 each to Mayor Boyce and Public Utilities Commissioner Thomas A. Andre for help in get- ting the city's gas distribution franchise for Consumers' Gas Company. Mr. Andre and Mayor Boyce both testified Wednesday that thev received letters from Mason promising $10,000 cash for their support. Inspector Graham said he went around to see Mason last Sept 26, three days before the charges were formally laid. He quoted Mason as saying Mr Andre had offered $10,000 toward the purchase of the Inter-County Gas Company franchise, indicat- ing to Mason at the same time that Mayor Boyce would also con. tribute $10,000 to the deal. "I asked him if he had ever made any inducement to any members of the city council or the Kingston Public Utilities Com- mission and he said he had not," Inspector Graham testified "1 asked hin. if he had ever written any letter to anyone and he said, 'you must be referring to the lett: rs to Andre and Mayor Bavce.'
