1T is going 10 be made an asset in the
case of every defendant brought IN here
10 trial and only for the purpose of
clouding the real issue and serving al
basis for insinustiOns TO prejudice the
jury. Such insinuations are false as
hell They should Eor De lugged in
here without connection or shadow Of
connection or hope or proving con-
uection.
Despite the oratory Judge Lawlor al
lowed Heney 20 go on with his inquiry.
but Gibson was even less communics-
tive then before He denied positively
that he had gone TO the ferry TO meet
Burns on his arrival here from the east
a few days after the dynamiting or that
he had ever shadowed Burns or sug-
gested TO Helms that he be followed
He attempted again to explain his ac-
tfvities after the dynamiting- but his
statements concerning his investigation
Of Wilhelm were far from clear. He
took another fling at Burns and Macy,
declaring:
Il thought man who'd bring a man
over here and have him make dynamite
bombs TO blow people Up with would
do anything Yes, I'd suspect him Of
anything from murder down"

DEFENSE MAKES FRANTIC EFFORT
The frantic battle of the defense to
keep out OF the record all evidence re-
lating to the activities OF United Rail-
roads detectives in interfering with the
administration Of justice was resumed
early in the day with the recalling 10
the witness stand OF Adam Dahler,
cashier and acting treasurer of the
company. Heney asked the; court for
an order instructing Dahler to produce
certain vouchers from his Office. and
this request was met with determined
objection by the defense.

addition. Heney asked for the produc-
ton of all checks or vouchers drawn
in favor OF John H Helms, Luther
Brown, Detective Tom Gibson, Felix
Pauduveris Of dynamiting notoriety,
Attorneys William H Metson. Louis
Hoefier. Nate Coghlan, Hugh O'Eeill
and Charles S. Peery. and nearly a
score of detectives whose names have
been brought into the case.
such an order by this court would
amount TO a violation OF the fanda-
mental principles OF American liberty
esta ablished ever since the revolution,
declared Attorney Alex c. King in OBJ
jecting to the issuance of the order
1T amounts to a demand for a general
search warrant TO dragnet this cor

and TO allow II would be the most mon
strous thing ever done in the history Of
American Jurisprudence. 1t is In effort
