The Washington times., 1911-07-01

Miss Carroll's inability to recall other
talks she had heard over the wires, was
the subject of much cross-questioning
by the committee members.
The croSS-eXamination by the commit
tee and its lawyers was not so long as it
would have been If Miss Carroll had NOT
been a woman. Senator Kern steamed
up pretty vigorously two or three times,
but being a gallant person. was con
Stantly observed checking the express
sion of his marvelings at the strange
operations of Miss CarrolIs memory.
Lawyers LoseInterest.
AS for the committees lawyers they
seemed satisfied very early. and did not
press their questions very far. The i'm
possibility of getting Miss Carroll to re-
call other long-distance talks than the
two needed for the purposes of the in
quiry was very soon established, and
with that the lawyers seemed to lose
interest in the young woman.
The next witness was Wilbur w.
Walton, put on by the defence; stem
ographer in the Continental CONNER
cial Bank of Chicago. He said on the
morning of May 26, 1903, Mr.. Hines
came to the bank and dictated tele-
grams to him.
"Can you say to whom"
Not positively, but l should say to
Governor Deneen."
He was handed two kilograms and
said he did write them. Neither was
to Governor Deneen, and, his memory
thus refreshed, witness said he did
not take any kilograms to Deneen
that day. Both were addressed to Mr..
Lorimer and have heretofore appear
ed in the testimony. One notified
Lorimer that Hines had come from
rich, Penrose, and high authorities"
that they wanted Lorimer elected. The
other, sent later. said Hines had talk
ed to tbe by fSnei that ana hsd
said Hines need not come down.
This testimony was Ut ii TO verify
the statements Of Hinesf about the tele-
grams, as made in his testimony:
Witnessed insisted on quite a distinct
recollection of his part in writing those
particular kilograms. He could recall
them from the great mass OF kilograms
he had sent. just as Miss Carroll could
remember two telephone messages of
that same day, while she could not re-
call any others.
Why He Recalled
why are you able 10 recollect these
particular telegrams?' asked Attorney
Healy
Because" replied the witness, "Mr.
Hines was the first director of the
bank had ever met to that time
Next the defense called Fred Carney,
jr.. of Marinette, Wis, lumberman
connected with the Carney Lumber
Company. Its properties are at Owen
Sound. Ontario. Carney said he had
no affiliations whatever with the Ed
ward Hines Company, though they had
had business relations. He had known
Hines ten or twelve years. The Hines

ret to agree on the price to be paid
hat year for Carneys lumber, under
she five-year contract, which made
prices adjustable annually.
Appearance of Fun.
While we sat there Hines Joined us.
Presently a gentleman approached us,
smiled as if he had caught somebody's
eye, and when he got near, Hines rose
and shook hands with him. They talk
ed a minute or two-I did not hear
and then walked off toward the exit.
Hines soon left him and rejoined us.
