Thé pleas of Elton and Skinner were based on the fact that they testi- fied before the interstate commerce commission, Robhins sought im- munity because he had been a witness | before the grand jury as well as the interestate commerce commission. The granting of immunity to Elton and Skinner came as a surprise to the government prosecutors for the reason that Judge Grubb, last Jan- uary, in disposing of similar pleas, put in by them as a bar to the original | indictment, said that as the directors had failed to ask immunity before testifying, he would not accept tae mere fact of their giving testimony as sufficlent ground for granting them immunity from prosecution. Elton and Skinner, Judge Hunt said, while they did not claim constitutional privilege when called, had reason to believe that they would get Immunity. Government's Contention, The government's demurrers pre- sented to Judge Hunt asserted that Elton, Skinner and Robbins had not asserted their constitutional privilege before testifying and, therefore, they were not entitled to immunity. Counsel for the directors said that under tae immunity statute, the promise held out to the witness is one of the things the witness considers be- fore he answers the questions put and that he waives nothing and makes no election as he does when he exercises | his option or privilege under the fifth emendment to the constitution.

R. TRIAL Court Rules Out Testimony on A- bany Vice and Gambling. , April 30. Roosevelt was excused from the wit- ness stand yesterday after he had told his own stary of how he ended the panic in 1907 and had identified a letter which Charles S. Whit- man, now governor of New York and then district attorney of New York city, wrote that he thought the time was ripe to rid the state of the kind of party control which was mainly responsible for corrupt conditions. It was Colonel Roosevell’s eighth day of testimony as a witness in the suit for alleged libel brought against him by William Barnes. In the letter, Governor Whitman declared that the men and policies responsible for such corruption were not confined to any one party, but the coloned said he believed M-, Barnes was referred to. William Loeb, Jr., the colanel’s private sec- retary in the White House and later collector of the port of New York, was also a witness. He swore that William Barnes had told him that he had an agrreement with Charles ¥. Murphy of Tammany Hall not to interfere in the sclection of a United States senator. That was in 1911, prior to the time James A. O'Gorman was chosen. 1t was while Mr. Loeb was on the stand that counsel for the ex-president made a futile at- tempt to get before the jury testimony regarding vice and gambling in Al- bany. The counsel for the plaintiff and the defendant fought aver virtually every piece of important evidence ad- duced yesterday. After the colonel was excused from the stand, he paid close attention to the testimony of Mr, Laeb and George B. Agnew, for- mer state senator. Mr. Agnew tes- tified concerning voting in the senate upon race track legislation and the manner in which he said, Senator Grattan defeated the bill after he had been advised by Mr. Barnes to cast his deviding vote. As to Albany Corruption. Justice Andrews, in a statement made ta counsel during arguments, and while the jury was out of the rcom, asserted that no evidence had been produced connecting Mr. Barres with any ‘“corrupt connivance” inso- far as the municipal government of Albany was concerned. Then he fadde “Where the libel charges a man with being a thief, it is not enough to say simply that the charge is true, but one must set up in the answer the facts from which the inference is made. “Here the charge is that Mr. Barnes was corrupt in one way or another. You are bound not simply to say that ‘the charges are true.’ You are bound to set forth the facts which, if true, would constitute justification; they have got to be set forth so that if the facts are true, they would show corruption. That vou have failed utterly to do with respect to the Albany Lincoln league and gambling conditions, but T am inclined to think you have done it with respect to the printing charges.” Agnew on Stand. George B. Agnew of New York was culled as a witness after Colonel Roosevelt was excused. He said he was a state senator from 1907 to 1810, He told of intro- ducing bills regarding the race track BETTER THAN GALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute acuse, 1 in | | } | Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the substis tute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxa- tive, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards’ determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calcmel does but have no bad after ef- fects. They don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel.” They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Cal- omel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards® Olive ‘Tablets take its place. Most headaches, “dullness” and that Jazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets when you feel"loggy’ and“heavy." Note how they “clear” clouded brain and how they “perk up” the spirits. At 10c and per box. All druggists. ‘The Olive T'ablet Company, Columbus, O, ' 31st Anniversary Of the Y.M.C. A.

He said Senator Grattan had promised to support the bill, but that Mr. Barnes had induced him to vote against it. I asked Mr. Barnes,” said witness, “whether he understood the seriousness of making Grattan change his decision. . Barnes said he thought it was good politics to have Senator Grattan vore against the bill."” On cross-examination 1t was brought out that Mr. Agnew had not told his complete conversation with Mr Barnes. On re-direct examination, the witness said he told Mr. Barnes at the time the racing bill was defeated that he had always stood up for him, but that as he had broken his word he was through. Loeb Takes Stand. ‘William Loch, jr., private secretary to Colonel Roosevelt while governor and president, was the next witness. He said he was connected with the American Smelting & Refining com- pany. He told of his relations with the colonel since the latter was goV ernor. “Did you have any conversations in 1906 and 1907 with the plainliff as re- gards his position in the republican party and municipal affairs in Al- bany?” asked counsel for Colonal Roosevelt. An objection was made by Mr. Ivins. After a discussion Justice An- drews remarked that the mere fact that there were bad or corrupt condi- tions and that Mr. Barnes knew of them was entirely immaterial in this case. Clash Between Counsel, Colonel Roosevelt's counsel argued that it was intended to show that the Dlaintiff v acquainted with gambling and other vice in Albany ana that the organization was in control of fhe city. Mr. Tvins =aid thatr the allega- tion here is that Mr. Barnes and Mr. Murphy were of the same political type. We know the type of Caesar. What is the type of Charles F. Mur- phy? Now as to Alba there nothing to show that Mr. Barnes had anything to do with conditions there. When Mr. Bowers started to reply to Mr. Ivins, the latter asked that the jury be excused until the question was settled. From then on for more than hialf an hour, counsel for both sides argued—one in an effort 1o get testi- mony concerning vice in Albany be- fore the jury and the other in an effort to exclude it. Loeb Evidence Ruled Out. Then Justice Andrews addressed the counsel at some length, saying among other things that “there might have been gambling in Albany and the plaintiff might not have opposed it. vet he might have had perfectly good reasons for so doing. ence of vice there was offered that connected Mr. with any corrupt connivance.” The court remarked tnat nothing had been proved about the Albany Lincoln League, and after referring to the corrupt practices act, Mr, lIvins’ ckjection was sustaincd. Absence of Jury Forgotten. for Colonel Roosevelt then continua the examination The questioning was halted, however, directlv 1t was realized that the jury had been for- gotten. Tt was sent for. 1In reply to a series of questions, Mr. Loeb said: “In 1911 T had a conversation with Mr. Barnes in an office In New York. I was in the office and was asked to 1emain for lunch. Soon after Mr. Rarnes’ card was brougni In and he followed it. He, too, was asked ta stay to lunch.” “Did you have a conversation in reference to the selection of a can- didate for United States senator?’” Barnes and O'Gorman. “I did. On the way out of the of- fice T spoke to Mr. Barnes about a conversation he had with William L. Ward, who went to him to ask that he support an indevendent democrat for the senate. Mr. Barnes replied that he could not do it because his agree- ment with Charles F. Murphy (of Temmany Hall) was that he would nqt interfere with the latter's plans for selecting a senator.” Judge James A. O'Gorman was se- lected for the IUnited ales senate not long after the alleged conversa- tion between Mr. Barns and Mr. Loeb took place. Toch Cros xamined. Colonel Roosevelt's counsel then made another futile attempt to got into the record testimony concerning municipal affairs in Albany. That ended Mr, Loeb’s direct examina- tion. On cross-examination he was asked by whom he was now employead. He replied: “Several corporations,’ and then named, among other American Smelting & Refining com- pany, the Yukon Gold company, and the New River Collieries company. And in the majority of those com- panies the Messrs. Guggenheim control, have they not?"” asked Ivins. The witness replied that the Messrs, Guggenheim were interested and then Mr. Tvins asked: “And one of those Guggenheims is the same one whose name was ccupled with Mr. Barnes in Colonel Roosevelt's denunciation, was he not?” is nothing Barnes Counsel started to of Mr. Loeb. have Mr. Objection Sustained. An objection was sustained. The next and last witness of the day was Dr. Andrew McFarland of Albany. Dr. McFarland testified to writing a letter to Mr. Barnes on be- half of a citizens’ committee regard- ing Senator Grattan's action on the race track bill. He also testified to receiving a letter in reply in which Mr. Barnes was said to have asseried that in voting against the bill, Sena- tor Grattan acted according to his own convictions. Both Dr. McFar- lond's letter and the reply thereto were printed in Mr. Barnes’ newspa- per in Albany.
