Ray Akers, street car conductor. In these affidavits it was set forth that Kid- well had talked with them about the Teapot Dome case, expressed his ad- iration for the defendant Sinclair and stated further that in event of an acquittal he wouldn't be surprised it he got a car “as long as a block.” Although denled a_hearing on his application to have King and Akers cited in contempt of court for “ap- proaching” him, Kidwell probably will have a chance to tell at least a part of his side of the circ) mstances when he takes the witness stand in the present trial. United States At- torney Peyton Gordon and his assist- ant, Nell Burkinshaw, were engaged with Kidwell's testimony yesterday in outlining how much of it will be used in the contempt proceedings. There is absolutely nothing in his testimony, Kidwell's attorney and the Government attorneys declare, that could be construed that he had re- ceived. or had been offered, directly or indirectly, any bribe or that he had ever heard. of any bribe being offered. Ruddy to Resume Stand. Charles G. Ruddy, . chief of the Burhs operatives, who was in charge of the jury,shadowing operations will resume the stand when court convenes tomorrow. After the Gov- ernment concludes with him anq the presentation of his operatives’ re- ports, he will be turned over to the defense for cross-examination. The case of the six respondents hinges on the defense that the Burns detectives did no more than trail the jurors, which they had a legal r‘i'ghl 10 do, and that mere “shadowing’ of a jury does not constitute contempt of coyt. The Government maintains that auy form of jury-shadowing in a criminal case is illegal and forms grounds for contempt charges. Interest centers also primarily on the test‘mony to be given by William J. McMullin, one of the Burns detec- tives who operated under the name of William V. Long. It was McMullin who told former Gov. Gifford Pinchot that he had been “induced” to pre- pare a false affidavit. After making this revelation to Maj. Gordon, h« was instructed to “play along” with the Burns operatives. His testimony, s well as tesiimony tending to show that inquiries had been conducted possitle incumbrances on the home of Juror Norman L. Glascock. will be used by the Government t discredit the instructions said to have been given the Burns operatives.

About 20 witnesses will be on hand, | called by the Gov- ernment when the contempt trial opened Monday. Maj. Gordon said it would take him ahout one hour to finish presenting the mass of opera- tives' reports which constitute the arch of the Government's contempt charges. Tliness of George P. Hoover of counsel for Sinclair brought about recess of the court after Thursday's session. Martin W.
