Closser, one of the Government's star wit- nesses in the trial of the Montana Senator, testified at length and under- went a_ stiff cross-examination by Senator Thomas J.

Glosser formerly was secretary to Gordon Campbell, Montana oil opera- tor, for whom Wheeler is alleged to have wrongfully appeared before the Department of the Interior.
