clusion,, but with brighter prospect for
agreement ahead of it. Democratic
members of the committee prophesy
that the Republicans will unite with

upon no definite statement from the op.
position, but on the general demeanor
Of the Republicans and the sight Of Mr..
Reed in conference with Mr.. Cochran
for al hour. The Republicans took
small part in tho proceedings, and i'll
dividually it's members arc diplomatic
in speaking Of their Intentions. II Mr..
Reed has arrived at any understanding
with the administration, US was freely
rumored, he has done it, his colleagues
say, OH his personal responsibility.
Most of the time was consumed in. a
discussion Of a plan offered by Mr..
Cochran to meet the present emergency
and possible exigencies of the future,
which would confer large discretionary
powers upon the executive branch Of
the government.

The Cross Examination.
The cross-examination Of Adry was
virulent and exhaustive. at. times
Adry grew vexed and flung retorts at
the attorney, at no time, however,
showing himself lacking mentally. He
did show some animus against Harry,
however, at various times, but in all
the long examination he did not contra
dict his original story told in the morn
ing.
The attorney put obtuse and complex
questions in efforts to obtain results
for his experts, but apparently he
failed. Adry, however, made hardly as
good witness as Blixt, for the reason
that he talked too much. He repeated
his story on cross-examination almost
word for word like his morning testi-
mony. In fact, he pleased the state,
and, as far as could be seen when the
last question was asked, he was un-
shaken and his story was intact. Mr.
Erwin tried to make him state that he
believed Harry had gang of which the
witness was afraid, but Adry secuted
the idea and said he thought the gang
was fabrication Of Harry's.
