When the Attorney General began
TO ask questions as to loans of
money made by the witness to de-
PENDANTS in Cincinnati. there was OBJ
lection which precipitated argument
lasting until the conclusion Of the
session. Judge Wilson stated that
he would rule upon the point in the
morning.
With the examination and cross
examination OF the two witnesses,
practically the entire morning ses-
sion was consumed In the third
days trial OF the "label" case. Fre-
quent passes between the attorneys
and lengthy argument over the ad-
mission Of evidence marked the ses-
sion.
MT. Coe~well had testified the of-
ternOon before under direct examina-
tion that mis- company had offered 20
furnish for $s.1s5 labels OF the same
quality and iu the same quantity FOR
which the defendants are alleged 70
have paid the Nivisson- weisk O pf
Company sS5.OoO.
This bid was made by the Charles
ton company upon the basis of a
bid furnished them by the Brandon
Printing Company. OF Nashville.

given him by the attorneys. the sub

stands unshaken. Many details of
the correspondence between the
Charleston and Nashville companies
we're gone into, and the witness was
ut times subjected to some rather
caustic questions and comments ty
the attorneys for the defence. In
the examination Of nearly two hours
this morning little new of significance
was brought out.
