Spreckles, millionaire, whose name
has been blazed into the record of
every days proceedings since the trial
of Patrick Calhoun commenced more
than FIVE months ago, had his inning
in court today.
Through a cross examination with
stinging inferences and fnsinuations,
he sat undisturbed, disclosing the in

ton, reciting the substantial payments
he has made to it's officers and agents
and disclaiming utterly motives inn
puted to him by Attorney Earl Rog-
ers, for the defense.
In q Duel of Wits.
The bitter alterations that have
always followed the injection of Mr..
Spreckels into the trial had prepared
a crowded courtroom for succession
of angry disputes, but the examina-
tion was practically concluded with
only a few brief exchanges. Assistant
District Attorney Heney. who had
promised to permit the widest possible
scope in cross examination, offered
scarcely a dozen objections through

into a duel of wits between the witt
ness and his questioner.
Many times MIR. Spreckels took ex.
ception to statement included in one
OF Mr.. Rogers questions and flatly de-
clared that the utterances were un-
true.
Late in the day Mr.. Spreckels was
excused until tomorrow with the un-
derstanding that he will produce In
court his personal account of the
many thousands of dollars he ad-
mitted he had expended in behalf OF
the graft prosecution.
