Conlon of 1726 N street SAYS $4,500 PAID ‘Witness Charges Phillips Demand- ed Cash Before Signing of Centract. James 1. M. Wilson of Philadelphia yesterday told the jury in Criminal Division 2, where the lumber fraud indictment trial is in progress, that in 1919 he paid John L. Phillips, Repub- lican state committeeman from Geor- &la, $4,500 as a prerequisite for sign- ing a contraet in connection with the purchase of 1,500,000 feet of lumber for the Mueller Lumber Company of Philadelphia. Phillips insisted on payment in cash, the witness for the prosacution stated. The witness said he came to Wash- ington to buy some of the surplus Army lumber at the request of the Mueller firm and met John L. Phil- lips at the Raleigh HoteL He paid Phillips $9,500, he said, of which $5,000, as a deposit on the contract, was paid by check, but the re- mainder of $4,500 Phillips iusisted should be in cash. Counsel for the government asked the witness what Phillips told him the $4,500 which had been paid in cash. 'This question brought forth objections from counsel for all the con- which lasted until the ry was taken. — Garnets found in northern Arizona and New Mexico are among the finest in the world For 18 consecutive years the sale of Interwoven Socks has steadily creased year by year without a single setback, and the increase of the last year has been the greatest of all.
