Sensations were numerous at todny's sessions of the trial, culminating in the beginning of a rapid cross-examina- tion of the principal witness by Chist Counsel Rogers for the defence. Franklin's testimony on direct ex- mination was at times dramatic in the treme, The witness departed from his apparent willingness to tell all he knew, to a seeming reluctance to tes- tify about close friends whom he sub- sequently drew into his story of jury corruption. Twice he appealed to the urt, once when he was asked to ame a man who was said to have of- fered a bribe to a venireman with whom he was negotiating and in when Assistant District Aftorney Ford asked him to give the names of three men whom he approached with offers of bribes.

The hotel men said they would fight to the finish, even theugh it might be necessary to close some qf the places. The union offfeials said they had ex- hausted only one-third of their power in this city, that additions to the ranks ‘were recorded hourly, that negotiations were on looking to the strike of other employes, and that they expeeted to bring about practically a complete tie- up of the hotel and restaurant busi- ness in the city, and if necessary to | extend the movement to other places.
