District Attorney Whitman hes made known his intention to fight for the strictest interpretation of the Sulli- van law forbidding the carrying of re- volvers. The fact has been brought to light that, while in many cases the law has been observed literally, saloon keepers have aided in its violation by keeping supplies of weapons behind the bars and handing them out to gang members in cases of emergency. The first conviction as a result of the recent siree: fights came today when Louis Bull, who was arrested ay night after the shooting of Jack” Zelig, was sent to the workhouse for six months.

Los Angeles, Calif,, June 8—RBert Il Frankiin testilied today on cross ex- amination in the trial of Clarence S. Darrow for alleged jury bribery, that he had made his first conession of ullt at the office and in presence of Oscar Lawler, special government prosecutor in {he dynamite conspiracy investigation that he had first been approached with a view to goiting him to turn state's evidence by a deputy United States marsial and {hat he had applied fof employment to the Mer- chants and Manufacturers' associa- Hon_which took a prominent part in the MoNamara prosecution, Controversies Between Counsel. At the conclusion of Franklin's cross- examination members of the defense declared better progress had been made With the case today than at any time since Franklin took the stand ten days ago. Re-direct examination by Assistant District Attorney Ford was then begun and may mot be con- cluded before tomorrow's adjournment. Franklin was on the stand all day, but his ordeal at the hands of Chief Coun- sel Rogers for the defense was broken several times by verbal controversies hetween opposing counsel one of which included a denunciation of William J. Burns by Rogers, Rogers Withdraws Accusation. In connection with his attack on Burns, Rogers accused the prosecution of trying to strike at Samuel Gompers, president of the American Iederation of Labor, and declared that one of the Burns detectives who had attended every gession of the trial had sought to reach the ears of a juror with re- marks made while seated in the sec- tion occupied by members of the press. The latter charge caused a Lalf hour's Tecess for the purpose of Investigating at the conclusion of which the de- tective was exonerated by Mr. Rogers in open court. Denunciation of Detective Burns. Rogers’ denunciation of Burns grew out of continual objections by the prosecution to the questioning of Fraunklin concerning his negotiations with the district attorney. He had asked the witness if he had not, in making his confession in which the names of Burns and Gompers wero used, been told to bring Gompers” name into his testimony whenever the opportunity arose. The district attorney insisted that Burns had nothing to do with the prosecution and that no one sought to implicate Gompers in the Darrow trial, No Attempt to Implicate Gomper: “Burns men are concerned in every detafl of this case,” retorted Rogers; “even to hounding our witnesses and watching our offices and using tale- phonic devices in our places. No man could truthfully demy that Willlam J. Burns' men employed by the Nationai | Erectors’ association were behind this case in every particular.” District Attorney Fredericks satd At 1o one had Ssought to implicate Gompers in the present case, a state- ment which brouj his feet.
