CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 13.-Miss Ida

against Rockefeller in the Corrigan case.

make me revise what I have written in
the case of Corrlgan VS.. Rockefeller

sold the stock acquired from Corrigan
soon after the transaction. I do not see
that that proves anything. He may
have bought it back. He could have
done SO and made money. He certainly

1895. at least to any one but member
Of his family, with any portion of his

not have done So ! used nothing which
l had not convinced myself was true,

the testimony. If did give that impress

ments is in regard to conversation
between John d. Rockefeller and Frank
Rockefeller. The latter had pleaded
with his brother to be easy with their
friend Corrigan.
What John Told Frank.
THE interview broke up without a
decision. but as Frank left the room
John called him back 'Corrigan is go

dence. [ believe It to be true, and if
true see no reason why 1 should not

that Kline disputes its truth. Another
case in which I presume Kline would
accuse me of using testimony not in

pressed about an interview which he
denied, is described as springing to his
feet and eXclaiming: call God as my

I claim that Rockefeller himself gives
me the right TO use that rule in esti-
mating his character. He presents him
self to the public in only two phases,
as the richest man in the world and
as an active adherent of the Christian
church.
