Manning was excused from the stand after a tilt with Commissioner Hirshfield, who warned him that he had the power of a Magistrate to com- mit a witness for perjury. This oc- curred after Manning had testified that he did not know where Burke's $26,500 had come from although he bad seen the amount in Burks's bank book. He saw the deposit, he claimed, when he accompanied Burke to a bank, On this oecasion Burke paid him $7,000 as part payment of a debt. Manning admitted he had heard Burke was willing to help persons pass examinations, He had heard this for several years. But there was nothing new about that, the witness volunteered.
