the several hop districts In the state for tho

One of the alleged demands was for 5000 10

MIR. Beach offered the letter from Fields
to Padgett In evidence. the defense OBJ
Jected and the most extended argument OF
the trial followed the question of the
admissiblity of the letter. The defense adj
mftted that the statement LipScomb made
to the United States attorney in June. 1901
was Irrelevant but added that II had been
put in evidence without objection from the
prosecuting attorneys. 1t was finally held
that the Padgett letter would not be admit
ted unless counsel for the defense in their
summing up addresses to the jury should
assert that Lipscomb had made a full ex-
planatory statement of his connection with
the receivership fund transactions to the
United States attorney, and should allude
to the Dear Andrew letter as generating
the defendant. Should such assertions and
illusions be made by the defense the court
iholcsted that counsel for the government

secure from Mr.. Lipscomb positive state
ment as to whether he had signed the check
or whether his signature thereon had been
Forged. The prosecution also brought out
that Iipscomb would not prosecute Fields
for forgery.
On redirect examination counsel for the
defense asked Mr.. Lipscomb only n very
few questions. The defense then rested its
case.
The first witness called by the prosecu-
ton in rebuttal was Mr.. Padgett. He stated
that the first time the United States attor-
ney saw the letter the witness had received
from Fields was when the witness ap-
peared before the grand jury. nearly a year
after the receipt of the letter. One reason
why he did not surrender the letter, Mr.
Padgett said, was because it reflected on
Mr.. Lipscomb.
On cross-eXamination Mr. Padgett ad-
mitted that he suggested to Mr. Lipscomb
that the latter should not take steps to
prosecute Fields until he had consulted
counsel Mr.. Padgett also substantial ed
Mr.. Lipscomb in the assertion made by the
defendant that Immediately after receiving
the Dear Andrew letter he showed the
same to Mr.. Padgett

of the grand jury when Mr.. LipScomb APP
peared before 1t as witness in connection

Lipscomb had stated that he had not signed
