tlon in this matter to be that you are tho
victim OF misplaced confidence"
Il do not know how YOU understand
that" the defendant replied, with spirit.
Il haven't 50 testified"
you had implicit confidence In Fields un-
til the receipt Of the Dear Andrew letter."
Il had confidence in him."
The prosecuting attorney inquired the age
of the defendant, who made answer: II
don't know, but / think I'm about fifty
years Old.
United States Attorney Beach proceeded
to devote his energies to showing that Mr..
LipscOmb has wide experience with men
and affairs.
1t was brought out that Lipscomb had
represented Fields as attorney In q civil
case, but had refused to appear for him
in the case in which Fields sought to have
an alleged marriage annulled. 1t was also
shown that the defendant had loaned Fields
mOney--he said on about ten occasions In
ten years-and that Fields is now Indebted
to him In the sum Of about $500.
Obligation Produced.
An II. o. T." for 81. 800 in favor of Lips
comb from Fields was produced. Mr.. Lips
comb insisted that the figures were a mis-
take by Fields; that the proper amount was
$50. The prosecution thereupOn produced
a letter written February IL. 1904, by Lips
comb while at White Plains. n. Y 1t was
addressed to Fields. The letter set forth
goo that Fields had promised to pay on
the $1.5OO Indebtedness. which Is now re-
duced to $500" The writer urged Fields to
telegraph him without delay $500, or half
that amount. and to write him the status of
the Beneficial Endowment Association case
Explain that letter. Mr.. Lipscomb." Unit
ed States Attorney Beach demanded
Mr. Lipscomb reiterated that Fields never
owed him 81 500. and that the reference In
the letter of February H. 1904, to ST. 800 was
humorous one.
Afternoon Proceedings.
After the usual midday recess United
States Attorney Beach referred to a re-
port made by Lipscomb and Fields, re-
ceivers. to the auditor of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, in De-
cember, 1859. and asked. pointedly, If the
Ieceivership fund had not been short about
5000 or $1,000, and if Mr.. Lpscomb had
not made up the shortage. The defendant
denied that he had made up any such
shortage.
The cross-examination of Mr.. LiDscomb
was in progress at a late hour this after
noon.

The latest attack thatthe lobby
made, through third parties Of
course, was to have delegation
from the three biggest railway
organizations Of the country call
on the president this week and
urge him 10 leave the rate mat
ter alone. They were the rail
way conductors, the railway
trainmen and the swiachmen.
The argument was that lower
rates would mean lower wages
aud that view Of the case they
were against any attempt at rate
legislation. It was Of course a
selfish view Of the matter, but
rather q natural one under the
circumstances. Doubtless the
situation had been put before
them pretty strongly by the
railway officials before they
came.
