to drop. President Burdick stating
the position of the senate, said he be-
lieved that the court did not wish to
be placed in the light of having
something brought out by inference
that could not be brought out by d.
rect evidence, and at the same time
he suggested that If the prosecution
could open the main case on this par
ticular incident, that there would
very likely be no objection upon the
part Of the court to hearing the same.
When George Bangs declared during
the ruction that possibly Watson him
self could tell why Miss Schultz was
absent, the witness holly replied that
he was not instrumental in having her
leave. the state and followed it up
with remark as to what he thought
OF persons making such charge.
Absence Explained
After Watson had concluded his evil
dence he asked to be allowed to ex-
plain Miss Schultz absence from the
state and did 80 by stating that she
mad been called to her home in Min
nesota by reason of the suicide Of
some member of the family and that
she was caring for the family.
George Bangs then asked Watson
IL 1t was not fact that he (Watson)
was getting a divorce from his wife
and that Miss Schultz was partially
responsible for the trouble. Watson
again replied that he was getting
divorce but that Miss Schultz was not
In any manner responsible and fol-
lowing the assertion up by the sug-
gestion that an apology was due from
George Bangs for such q statement.
Another interesting feature of the
morning session was the statement
by Senator Gunderson relative to
the charge that has been published
to the effect that he was on still
hunt" for evidence relating to the
Lakota incident. He said that he had
written to the landlord of the Grace
hotel after it had been brought to
his attention that he had been there
on or about the date in question, July
II, 1909, for list Of those at the ho-
tel about that time and that instead
of sending the list, the landlord tore
out sheet of the register and mail
ed to him. Mr.. Gunderson said that
Immediately he received these sheets
he informed Prosecutor George Bangs
of that fact and turned them over
to him.
Allen Tompkins of Rugby, connect
ed with the Rugby Telephone ex-
change, said that the slips introduced
by the defense on the telephone call
between Minkler and Campbell was
not written by himself or Bullock,
who was also with the company, and
that such slip did not necessary
mean that those persons conversed
in person.
j. A. Minkler, whose evidence the
prosecution has attempted to I'M
peach by a large number of Witness
es on rebuttal, denied having had a
telephone call from Campbell in
Knox on the afternoon of June IS,
giving as the reason for such knowl-
edge that he had himself called from
Rugby to Knox for an automobile to
take him home that night. The entry
in DR.. Olaf Moeller's book OH illness,
purporting to show that Minkler was
sick Sunday morning instead of the
time previously fixed, was made Sun
day morning when NIinkler said that
he called at Moeller's Office for a
consultation and when he was first
advised Of the real nature of his ill

wound bled freely. After l had treat

JACK JOHNSON WOULD
BATTLE Jeff AGAIN
CoIored Champions Answer to
Barney 0IdfieId's
dope" Story.

CHICAGO, Ill, January 1O.-Jack john
| son, heavyweight champion. showed little
concern yesterday when told of the stories
circulated by Barney Oldfield, the auto
mobile racer, to the effect that Jeffries
| was doped when he fought at Reno. Ac-
| cording to Oldfield, Jeffries is as good as
/, ever and the speed king asserted in a
| recent interview that he would be willing
to wager a. small fortune that Jeffries
can defeat the present champion.
Il will give Jeffries return match any
| time he wants it," said Johnson. IF
Oldfield believes Jeffries is as good as
ever just let him get some club to hang
up suitable purse and l will sign the
articles. l will not ask anything unrea-
sOnable except that l will demand a
! champions end of the money. 1 am get
ting tired of these stories about Jeffries
being doped and If he thinks he Is bet
ter man than / am, l am willing to sign
up for another match and show the world
that Jack Johnson is real champion"
Jack indicated by the tone OF his speech
that he wants to fight in the near future.
He does not fear any man in the world,
and believes he rules supreme in his class.
To bear out his statement he cited the
fact that none of the promoters has
been willing to hang up a suitable purse
to match him with any of the present
day heavyweights.
The champion is arranging to leave on
an extended western theatrical tour next
week. He said he would be willing to
meet James Coffroth, Tom McCarey or
any of the other western promoters half
way in their attempts to sign him up for
a match He still maintains that he is
going to Europe the latter part of March
or the LIST of April
