Defense To Play
Trump Card
GOVERNOR PENNYPAcKER WILL
TAKE STAND IN GRAFT
TRIAL

HARRISBURG. Pa, Feb 1S.-An-
nouncement was made just before the
trial resumed in the graft case that
the defense would to-day play its
trump card. Governor Pennypacker
will be called some time this after
noon. Pennypaclter arrived last night
and was closeted some time with the
defense lawyers. He is expected to
fatty contradict stanford Lewis evil
dence. He has his own grievance to
settle with Lewis owing to the lat
ter's declaration that the former gov
ernor at secret meeting with Snyder
sought to cover up scandals in former
Attorney Generals Carson's school of
inquiry. The evidence so far offered
has not worried the commemorative
attorneys. The admission forced from
Sanderson's experts yesterday that
even under the measurement system
they could not find more than 1857
feet in the caucus room rostrums, for
which he charged at the rate of 1882
feet, making an excess OF s54,726.20,
the prosecutors believe will offset any
figures offered in support Of Sander
sons generosity.
