Avoy when the preliminary hearing in
the perjury charge against Mann was
resumed yesterday. District Attorney

The charge against the editor OF Town
Tpocis is based upon his testimony dur.
ing the recent trial Of Norman Hapgood,
accused Of crimina libel BY Justice deuel..
The colonel then testified that he did
not write 10. III, w. d. M" on the
Ward letter. which was addressed TO
Wooster and contained references to a
block of Rico syndicate stock sent as a
gilt TO Mann.
Martin w. Littleton. counsel for the
colonel continued to cross examine
Wooster, who had said Tuesday that
Mann. after writing the Endorsement,
told him to show the letter to the sub.
scription clerk, 90 that she might place
Wards name on the free list. Wooster
said yesterday that he did not show
the letter To the clerk, and afterward
gave Il TO Mr. Hess.

Mr. Littleton spoke on the apparent
conflict IN Woosterw's evidence concern
ing the Rico stock. During Tuesdays

getting Wooster to write 20. X, w.

ported then that the defense would ac-
cusc the solicitor of forging the indorse-
ment, but those who saw his writing
say it bears no resemblance to that on
