MAKES ANorHga BREAK.


At this juncture Col. Arrett turned to
Porter Smith and had conference with
him that lasted about five minutes. Dur
ING this time the committee stretched
their limbs and wandered about the hall q
little. Mr.. Miller left his seat and entered
into conversation with spectator. Sud-
denly he returned to his seat and nd.
dressed the chair, saying, "Mr. Chairman,
did understand Mr.. Stanley in his test.
mony to say that his name was hauled
over the Goals last night?'
The Chair-"He said that"
Mr., Observation-Disclosures that?"
MIR. Miller-"I said that l wanted to
know il Mr.. Stanley in his testimony said
that his name had been hauled over the
Goals. Mr.. Stanley has been in legislative
duty longer than l, and il he said that, rs
a friend has told ms he did, We can settle
it amacaily afterwards"
Mr.. Hart-"Suppose you get through
with me first"
What Mr.. Miller meant by this, to say
the least, singular break, it is hard to con-
lecture.
When Mr.. Harris examination was re-
sumed Col. Arnett asked:
"When you gay you promised to protect
those girls in those houses, why did you
make that remark
because knew the police were bull
doing witnesses"
SMITH TAKES HAND
Chief smith-"rhat amt SOL"
Mr.. Hart-"Sir?"
Col. Arnett, soto roic. to snith-"Hsh
hsh!" To Mr.. Hart-"Never mind him.
Mr.. Hart-"rwo OF you cross examin
ing me now2"
Col. Arnett-"No, sir. Don't mind
that"
Col. Arnett continued:
"How did you mean that You would pro
tect them?'
Mr.. Hart-"By every means inI'my
power, which excluded no means, and in
Cluded all means. should have brought
the offenders before q tribunal which is In
session every day in the year, and before
which have always respectful hearing
public opinion" [App!ause.
Col. Arnett ssked how he knew the pc
lice were bulldCzing witnesses, and he re
sponded that his reporters told him O.
circumstances which showed such to be
the case, and he supposed the force would
not stop until they had completed the
work.
"rhen you do not know OF any bull
doing OF your own personal knowledge :?
"No. sir; nobody attempted TO bulldoze
any witnesses in my presence"
In one response, Mr.. Hart said he could

THAT Is not my purpose, Mr.. Hart"
at would not do any good /! it wtre."
~ am not trying to confuse you" said
the Colonel.
~ know you are not, said the witness;

Then followed pause for consultation,

"Tnat's ALL" and the crowd laughed.
