S. District Court this morning, where he is on trial, charged with first degree murder of Clarence J. Campbell. As this morning's session opened, the cross-exam- ination of Meeks was continued by U. S. District Attorney P. J. Gil- more, Jr. Gilmore spent most of today’s cross-examination in attempts to pin Meeks down on his testimony and to shake him from his previous statements. Many of his questions and answers of the defendant were repetitious of yesterday's ac- tion. Questioned on his fight with Peter “Peanuts” Vincent, Meeks de- clared that he did not have a knife in his hand during the fight. He admitted he gave City Police a $100 bill when they located his missing $1,600. He said he was glad to get the money back and felt they were entitled to a reward. When asked about his request to Kelso B. Hartness to write letters to Eddie Schwaesdall and Dora Kuich, Meeks denied making them. He said emphatically that he did not ask Hartness to write a let- ter to FEddie instructing the lat- ter, if questioned, to say that Meeks had not borrowed money from him because he (Meeks) was in plenty sef trouble, Lied To FBI Pertaining to a statement he gave to the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation, Meeks declared the | facts are “not true” He said he :lled_tp FBI Agent Willam E. Di- | dellts “becalise T didn’t think it . was any of his business.” At times during today's testimony, Meeks admitted making lies in the state- ment, and at other times he ac- cused Didelius of lyihg. Concluding his cross-examina- bill, urged transter of control of tion, Gilmore asked Meeks why he had not taken the stand during his previous trial. At this, Monagle raised an objection to the ques- tion. He argued that the old case was not being re-tried. Judge Fol- ta, however, overruled the objec- tion on the grounds that when & defendant takes the stand, he sac- rifices his constitutional immun- ity. Upon being ordered to ans- wer the question, Meeks said, “I don’t know.” Net Under Oath At 11 o'clock, Monagle took over | questioning of the witness on re- direct examination. He brought out that Meeks was not under oath when he gave his statement to the FBI or at any other time when he told any of his alleged lies. He particularly brought out that Didelius did not go over the state- ment, which was made Dec. 15, 1945, in the presence of the person witnessing Meek's signature or in the presence of anyone else. Meeks, who says he cannot read or write, except his signature, said he didn’t know what was in the statement.
