Archibald of the commerce court and the Hrie Railroad, furnished a sensation at today’s hearing when he denounced William P. Boland, also of Scranton, and author of the charges against the jurist as a “traiter, a cut- throat and a dangerous man.” Accusation of “Doping” Lawyer, ‘While Williams hotly denounced Bo- land, who sat within arms length, Williams also charged him with once having “doped” a lawyer in Scranton to get certain information. By the time the stir was over Williams had further complicated his testimony. He repudiated a letter signed by him and sent to Vice President Cogn, of the Laurel line, who contracted to buy the Katydid culm bank from Williams and Archbald after they had secured an option upon it from the Erie. Williams Never Saw Letter. A photograph of the letter is in pos- session of the department of justice but Conn testified it was never out of his possession and that he was not a party to photographing it. A refer- ence in the letter “to a party with whom you have been dealing” was construed to mean Judge Archbald. Attorney Worthington for the judge sought to bring out an inference that Boland inspired the letter and he phot- ographed it before it was sent to Conn. Williams declared on the stand he had never seen it notwithstanding the signature was his. Identified His Signature. “Is that your signature? asked Chairman Clayton. “It looks like my signature, but I don't know how it got there” said Williams. “Do you recollect, Mr, Williams, that you are under oath and might be pun- ished for false swearing?” asked Rep- resentative McCoy of New Jersey. “Yes, 1 know that,” answered Wil- liams.

He's that kind of a man, according to his words to me. He told me about copying all these let- ters after I had been before the at- torney general. He said ‘You didn’t know what I was doing, you were as innocent as a child.’ I was too. 1 did not know what Boland was doing, be- cause he's a traitor, a cutthroat, a dangerous man.” “Were you drunk the day you took the letters to Boland?” Representative Sterling asked. “I don’t think so.” Archbald Told Him to Tell Truth. “Did you talk to Judge Archbald after you were subpoenaed about this case?” asked Chairman Clayton. “Yes, sir, and all Judge Archbald told me was to teil the whole truth; to tell all T knew about it. “Did you ever tell a reporter in Scranton that you would clear .Iung Archbald by your testimony here?” “Yes, I did, 1 said the whole truth would come out and would not hurt him.” Conn probably will continue tomor- row.
