Every effort on the part of Gator to
break the witness down on cross-ex-
animation failed. The witness was
sure of his time and of his facts, and
when Gator saw he was making poor
headway he turned from this line and
attacked, by imputation, his character
He was asked if he had not been ac-
cused by Judge Ham of Napa of at
tempt at blackmail.
ATTACKS BY DfPUTATION.
That is not true and 1 defy you or
any other man to say it," answered the
witness.
Gator then asked the witness If he
was not involved in the Little Pete
bribery case. This was denied and the
witness explained that his only connec-
ton with the Little Pete affair was
after he had been murdered and he had
been employed as a detective by the
defense.
Hartling was then asked if he had
not been accused by Attorney Slessin-
ger of testifying falsely in a case
Yes, Slessinger accused me of testi-
flying falsely in case when 1 was
against him." answered the witness
''and probably you will do the same
thing when 1 get through with this
case"
This answer caused much laughter
and Gator was plainly discounted.
Gator then went into a line Of oues-
ions regarding which hand each of the
accused used in taking the money giver

and again the audience broke into
laughter Gator then let the witness
go and an adjournment was taken un-
til this evening at o'clock.
