McMullin, the government's star | witness in the criminal contempt proceedings against Harry F. Bin- clair, William J. Burns and thelr four associates, underwent further examination into his past life today as defense attorneys continued their efforts to discredit his testimony. McMullin, working as a Burns de- tective, told the government that Burns agents, employed by Sinclair, were shadowing the Fall-Sinclair | conspiracy jury. Testifying as a gov- ernment witness, he has said that Burns officlals instructed him to make a false affidavit against Nor- man J. Glascock, & member of the | oil panel. Martin W. Littleton, counsel for | Sinclair, said an effort would be | made to show that McMullin faked |all of his reports, to get his wages { without working and did it only at | his own volition. He sald McMullin's |charge that ‘Charles G. Ruddy, | Burns' manager, directed the mak- | |ing of false reports was untrue. The witness said part of his re- | port of October 21 was untrue, but | was composed at Ruddy's sugges- tion. The false part of this report {that McMullin had followed Glas- cock on a long automobile ride for which the witness collected $13 for mileage expenses for a trip he never made, McMullin admitted he reported he had followed Glascock to’'a beach rear Baltimore and returned on | October 23 and said Ruddy “told’ me to put him (Glascock) out on {a long sleigh ride” that day. He! said he had made up this false re- port after loking at maps.
