Washington, D. c.. May 17.-F.
M. Kerby took the witness stand
in the Congressional investigation in
the CLAWS case this morning.
Kerby said he had an interview
with Garfield in Pinchots house but
that Garfield told him he did not
want him to act as a spy He said
Garfield got copy of the Lawler let
ter from another source. He said
Ballinger planned to discharge F. II.
Newell as director of the reclama-
ton service and offered the place to
R. S. Thompson, city attorney of Sc
attic. Kerby said he talked aver
the matter with his wife, and when
Balling made false statements on
the stand he thought it his duty to
he government to tell the truth.
There was sharp passage be-
tween Kerby and members of the
committee. Senator Root tried to
show that Kerby had given the pub
tic confidential papers, but Kerby
said his duty to the government was
stronger than to Ballinger. He de-
MED that Garfield or Pinchot had
asked him to give out the Lawler
letter.

He said the election of a Democratic

Taft was not spectacular man
