WAITS UPON SECRETARY
Attorney Brandeis Asks to Defer the
Cross Examination of Subor-

Washington, April 16-Assistant
Secretary of the Interior Finney con
tinued his testimony today before the
Ballinger-Pinchot. investigating com
mittee. He insisted Ballinger acted
in good faith in turning over the Cum
nirgham claims to Assistant Secretary
Pierce.
Holding In Reserve.
The prosecution in the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy indicated at yes
terday's hearing that it was holding
its big guns in reserve until Secretary
Ballinger takes the stand.
Attorney Brandeis sought permission
to defer the cross examination of
Frank Pierce, assistant secretary of
the interior, who concluded his testi-
mony yesterday, until after he had an
opportunity to question Ballinger.
The committee appeared to be di-
vided on the question as to whether
Mr. Brandeis should be allowed to re-
call witnesses for the defense" after
they had been excused from the stand
1t was decided to leave the matter
pending.
Call Request Unusual.
When Senator Sutherland expressed
the opinion that the request was
most unusual one, Mr. Brandeis re-
piled that inasmuch, as he had been
denied the privilege of calling Mr.. Bal
linger as his witness he thought 1t no
more than right that he should be
allowed to cross examine Mr.. Ballin-
ger before questioning his subordin-
