OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., March 5.— A story of purported threats and ques- tioning by what was termed a “kan- garoo” court was elicited by the defense counsel of Henry S. Johnston, suspend- ed governor, in his impeachment trial here yesterday from T. N. Crosthwaite, Ardmore cobbler. " Crosthwalte is the father of R. D. Crosthwaite, who, as a fugitive from the State penitentiary, to which he had been committed for murdering an Okla- homa City school teacher, was granted a pardon by Gov. Johnston. This par- don forms the basis of 1 of 10 articles of impeachment preferred against the suspended governor. * The cobbler related on the stand that James Nance, a State Representative, had tried to prevail upon him with PETE 1OUKG R If the things you used to like e with you, take a tablet of Pape’s Diapepsin after a meal.

The witness said another attempt was made by men he did not know to make him for- ! swear his testimony before Edwin Dab- | ney, attorney general. Makes Specific Charge. After he had been subpoenaed o ap - ,feu before the'investigating committec he elderly cobbler said he was hailed | at his hotel before & group of men who represented themselves to be the investi- gating committee. He said he thought they really were a ‘kangeroo court.” They questioned him in great detail as to the pardon case, Crostawaite said. Crosthwaite testified, as he previously had done before the committee, that he did not pay Thomas H. Champion, for- mer district judge of Ardmore, or any members of Champion’s law firm for procuring the pardon from the gov- ernor, although he had obtained $1,400 from relatives to use in'an effort to ob- tain the clemency. Attacks the Prosecution. The defense also launched an attack upon the contention of the prosecution that Gov. Johnston granted a leave of absence to Clyde Collins, while Collins awaited in jail at Hugo commitment to the penitentiary lollowlnfnconvlcuun of a statutory crime involving a 16-year- old gir], to gain votes for Dave Stovall in the primary campaign. Several per- sons who had petitioned 'the governor for the clemency denied on the witness stand that the governor had announced in signing the clemency act that he did 80 as & favor to Stovall. Stovall is a State Representative and one of the governor’s political adherents. Stovall himself, appearing as & it- ness for the defense, denied the charge. Furniture Dealers Organize.

Many of the devices and resuits of his experience stood him in stead for momentous rescues later. he_ tells of the time when he, like Chief Officer Manning, eflected a life-saving after an open sea trip in a lifeboat. (Copyright, 1929, by Assoclated Press.) CHAPTER VIIIL The seaman is ever ready to lend a hand to his fellow workers in distress. Race, color or creed are never taken into consideration. When a vessel first reports trouble, all ships in the vicinity communicate to determine which one is closest and which can be of the most assistance. ‘That vessel then proceeds under full steam to the ald of the stricken ship. During my life at sea there have been a number of occasions when I have been instrumental in giving assistance to others who encountered some un- fortunate situations. I was aboard the cruiser Washington, as chief quarter- master, when we were towing torpedo boats on a test cruise from San Diego to the Hawailan Islands and then to the Samoan Islands and back again.. While running into some heavy weather ‘out in the Pacific, a destroyer got adrift, the line having snapped. The Washington was maneuvering as closely as_possible to the helpless de- stroyer. We got around to her after shooting several skyrockets with a fish- ing line attached. The tow line was then pulled aboard and we proceeded. Tow Disabled Sub. A similar instance occurred when I was chief quartermaster of the Tona- pah, and we went to the assistance of | a disabled submarine off Hatteras. We used a long line with a barrel on the end of it. The idea of this was to have the barrel float from the subma- rine toward the ship so that we could pick it up and get hold of the line, but after several attempts we gave up plan. 1 then got a big piece of pipe, about 4 feet long, and had it inserted in a rocket carrying a lone line. After de- termining the approximate and correct angle, we sent the rocket out on its way carrying the line, the end of which was fastened to our ship. A rocket al- ways floats to leeward. The fourth rock- et landed on the destroyer and _the heavy hawser was pulled aboard. Once fastened, the Tonopah started for Nore folk with the submarine in tow. Man Shouting for Help. One night while aboard the Minne- apolis, which was bound from Phila- delphia to Havana in 1906 to particl- ate in the. pacification of Cuba, the R)nkout reported .that he heard a man shouting help. We were off the coast of Georgla. Word was sent to the bridge and the captain immediately stopped the ship. Searchlights played on the water and finally one of the rays spied the man aloft on a small raft waving his hand frantically. . A life boat was lowered and in a short time the te victim was taken aboard in an unconsclous state. We later learned that he had been on the faft three days. He was suffering from exposure to salt water, hunger and thirst. He was in our ship's hos- pital for one month before he was physically fit once again to leave. He proved to be the sole survivor of a schooner that had been foundering in a storm. Just after the war, when I was C-A-S-H Allowance or Your Old Suite or Pieces regardless of condition aboard the President Grant with Capt. Rind, I had my first experience to go out in a life boat at sea. A freighter “My Thirty Years : at Sea” w3 had communicated with us by radio and told us that they had a man aboard who was in a serious condition, suffer- ing from a strained ligament, and both ships proceeded to a predeter- mined position. When we got alongside the freighter I decided to take over a motor boat so as to_expedite the transfer. Before leaving I wanted to be sure of having plenty of gasoline aboard. The chap- lain of our vessel insisted upon ac- companying us and we did not get very far before he was seasick, lying at the bottom of the boat. We were trying to make his trip as comfortable as possible when suddenly the motor stopped. Upon examining it, we found that the additional gasoline I had ordered was kerosene. We had to row back with the motor launch to the side of the President Grant. A pulling boat was lowered. Doctor Operates on Man. Again we started from the President Grant for the freighter. The man-was transferred and as soon as he was placed in the ship's hospital, the doétor Bags—Street Floor stone rondell. replica. Jewelry—Street Floor and grace. Scarfs—Street Floor evening fashions.

This, as I said, was my first experi- ence in going out in a life boat and proved to be my last, as the next time I red in a rescue was when I was captain of the President Roosevelt and we answered a call from the British freighter Antinoe and rescued 24 of her crew in a heavy storm in midatlantic during January, 1926.
