The latter succeeded in promptly getting into a controversy with the judge over his right to read law authorities to the jury, and again as to the interpretation of one of the Judge's rulings, Judge Wylie appears to be anxious to keep in view of counsel thaf the alleged Bacontan rule of accept- ing bribes for doing well cannot apply to Brady's assessment of contractors, so that It 1s quite use- less to try to prove, in his'case, the benefit accom- pushed by the fraudulent contracts.

Press, to-day. Mr. Carpenter, of star route counsel, who has Just wound up a three days’ talking match against time, 1s not wise in his generation. Among other things, It remains for hin to learn that all jurors are not fools. He came fn at the finish with a mat adroit stroke which must have incensed every self-respecting man on the jury. Mr. Carpenter accused Mr. Ker of asserting in his argument that some Of the jurors had been corrupted. Mr. Ker 1s a long remove from a stupid lawyer; infact he 13 better than the average before a’ jury. It he had done what Mr. Carpenter charged’ him with doing, he would have deserved and received a re- buke trom the court. But Mr. Carpenter was not satisfied with telling the jury what the jury knew to be untrue. He tried ‘the same tactics on the court. This was intended to be shrewd. It was merely dull. ‘The government hasnot kept three Washington newspapers busy assailing the court, Its officers and the witnesses—desperately striving {ontluence the Jury—and the defense has.
