Not even the imputation Of gross
vulgarlty could make the witness take
the risk Of a denial which he was sure
to be driven out II Kinney pressed him
mercilessly on the indecent references
to the men characterized as syco-
plants. One particular reference the
witness explained as lust a joke"
You mean" asked Kinney, that
not that there was any wit or humor
in II. but the funny feature was in its
vulgarity and grossness and that was
the amusing part to you7
YES" replied the witness.
Almost the only subject on which
the witness was wary was the connec.
ton between the Jill and the Higher
Wage Association. At first he denied
that the Jill was the organ of the As.

Kinney laid considerable stress on
this connection and brought out that
