volts more than is applied to condemned
prisoners In penal institutions In New

touched the live wire and fell unconscious
to the ground. The girl was later revived
and she will recover, the doctors say.
A physician who attended the child
said that the recovery of the girl added
another argument to be used by the
medical men who charge that persons
who suffer the death penalty by means
of electricity are not killed by the elec-
trio shock but by the knife of the sur

Won't Answer Questions in
Contempt Hearing.
TAKES ATTORNEYS ADVICE
Editorials in Federationist Are In
volved.
EE EDITORIAL OPINION
Labor Leader Sticks Up for What
He Believes to Be His
Rights.

The taking OF testimony in the con-
tempt proceedings against Messrs. Com
pers. Mitchell and Morrison. officers of the
Federation of Labor. came suddenly to
temporary close at 1890 o'clock today.
At that time Mr.. Davenport sought to
question Mr.. Gompers concerning edi-
torials printed in the current September
number of the Federationist, and on the
advice of his counsel, Mr.. GomperS re-
fused to answer because. the utterances
had been made since the filing of the con-
tempt petition.
A number of questions bearing upon this
issue were put to the witness and 1t was
agreed that they should be certified TO
Justice Gould to determine whether they
were relevant. 1t is probable that they
will be presented to the court Monday,
hut Attorney Ralston. acting for Mr
Gompers. refused to accept Informal no
tire of a motion by Ralston for the
limitation and defining OF the scope OF
the inquiry.
This Mr.. Ralston refused to do, because
he said his entire thirty days for the
taking of testimony might be consumed
in the argument of the instructions for
limitation.
Objects to Davenport's Methods.
Mr. Ralston took occasion to state that
he did not so much object to Mr.. Com
pers replying to the question regarding
the September Federationist as he did to
Mr. Davenport's effort to pile up unnec-
essary testimony.
When President Gompers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor today resumed
the witness stand in the hearing in con-
ncction with the contempt proceedings
against himself and Messrs. Mitchell and
Morrison of the federation. Mr.. Daven-
port for the Bucks Stove Company, con-
tlnued his questions.
The first of these related to the effect
of the editorial printed in the Fedora
ZIONIST for January. 1908, but the wit
ness contended in reply to the interroga-
tories that the article could not have
had the effect of melting It's readers to
violate the judges injunction decree.
Wanted Money.
The editorial was reprinted and sent
out with a circular appealing for volun-
tary contributions so that We might have
money to defend the Bucks company
suit. he said. The editorial was only
an argument on the principles involved
in the controversy, and instead of enter
ing into those arguments in the circular.
the editorial was reprinted so as to give
the men of labor an opportunity to under
stand the question"
He insisted that the injunction could
not be interpreted to interfere with his
right of free editorial expression.
Mr.. Davenport sought to show that
there had been a conspiracy against the
Bucks Stove and Range Company and
to make it appear that Mr.. Gompers' edi-
tOrials had had influence in producing this
state of affairs but he did not succeed in
eliciting much from Mr.. Gompers in sup
port of this effort. The latter said he had
not kept himself informed as to what the
labor press generally was saying or doing.
