On Stand in the Ford Trial Phillips Makes Many
Startling Graft Admissions --Heney and Rogers
Engage in Personalities.

During the REORGANIZATION OF
Phillips a heated tilt took place
between Heney and Rogers. Rogers
was making an assertion in regard
TO the previous testimony of the
witness, when Heney jumped 20 his
feet. his face purple with rage. and
shouted
Il am tired OF hearing the coun-
sci make false statements before
this jury"
We'll. there is the testimony"
replied Rogers.
Both attorneys began reading the
transcript at the same time, stat
ing that Il backed up their asser-
tons.
You can't tell a story twice with
out getting IL crooked, shouted
Heney.
oh, Well I would hate TO twist
my back following your crooked
turns" answered Rogers.
Heney outwltted.
Rogers delyed into the Immunity
tNAAi0AA ahA Ahtn tNNh UP AAt al
fldayits IN which Phillips swore
that he had never committed am
offense. Phillips admitted that he
had signed a false affidavit Heney
then demanded that the affidavit
and the action accompanying &c DO
filed This the defense objected
TO and another bitter fight between
counsel occurred Heney claimed
that he had been taken by sur
prise and moved that This testimony
be stricken out The motion was
overruled by Judge Lawlor.
An effort was made by the attor-
noys for the defense TO make much
OF the point that Phillips had re-
ceived a copy of his testimony in
tho last trial from Gallagher last
night.
This ended the cross-eXamination
of Phillips and he was turned over
TO the prosecution for redirect eX-
animation
To Prosecutor Henoy the witness
stated that It was District Attorney
Langdou who had taken his con.
fession The witness was then
taken over hts former testimony
and cleaned up many of HIS here

attorneys for the defense fought
every attempt 90 introduce the con.
versations between the witness and
James l.. Gallagher IN regard TO the
passing OF brihe money, and IL was
only after long technical objections

was allowed TO give his answers.
Phillips declared that when he
received the s. 000 from Gallagher
he complained that IL WAS INSULT
Client. as he had been promised
s. 900 for his vote Phillips was
troubled by a lack OF memory and
was unable 10 remember exactly
what had passed In his converse
ton with Gallagher or the exact de
nomination OF the bills On cross
examination Rogers read q portion
OF his testimony In the last Ford
trial IN which the witness had stat
ed that he said the franchise would

was the truth After considerable
urging Rogers secured the admits
sion from him that be was in favor

Rogers accused Phillips OF talk
