 Representative Baker of California drew from W. T. Willett, sugar expert witness before the House investigation committee, today that the magnitude of the profit made by the beet sugar inter- ests on the price of sugar to the consumer which began in June of this year.
 MT. Willett said that when the New York quotations advanced a corresponding advance was announced in the west, not withstanding beet sugar refineres of Col orado and California had an enormous supply of their product on hand.
 MT. Willett testified that the farmer who raised the sugar beets got no bene- fit from the rise.
 Why did the beet sugar manufacture CTS of California raise the prices just be- cause New York refiners, 5000 miles away. did sop MT. Raker asked
 Because 1t was good business" he re- piled. That is known in vernacular as good business. If they had not done so they would have been called fools if they gave away cents profit on a pound.''
 MT. Willett gave the committee much statistical data on worlds consumption He denounced the gratuity given the Ha- wallan sugar planters of free entry to the United States and expressed an opinion that free raw sugar would ''starye the beet sugar men to death.'

To those who say il would have been better to have gone to trial and suffer complete defeat, would call attention to the fact that there were 30 or more hotel registers three in particular in Los Angeles many in San Francisco and others in dlHerent parts of the country to be used against us.
 Good Witnesses
 ''Theer were scores of witnesses to iden- tlfy James B. McNamara as being pres ent practically on the very day and one at least in the building. There was over whelming evidence of all kinds which no cue could have surmounted if he would.
 TT the state had put on its case, we could not even have put the defend- ant on the stand to deny these facts. We could not prove an alibi. The failure to do so would have been as much of an admission as anything else. We con- ferred over the situation in the probable dragging out of the cases for years and at the end found there was no chance to raise any reasonable doubt in think ing mind. In the meantime money was being collected from thousands of per- sons who did not know the facts. To go on under such circumstances would have been madness, and would only have postponed an evil until it would have been still greater evil and the con- sequences graver than they are now.
 ''All of this was thoroughly understood by my assoc ciates and no one hesitated about aceerting it. We acted as We thought right and best, and will take the consequences of the action. l can conceive of no way in which we could justify ourselves in another direction and save the lives of our clients. Our first duty as lawyers and men was to the lives in cur charge and our duty to the cause called for the same action.
 If people misjudge my motive l can only say for myself that I have acted unselfshly and from devotion all along I have the consciousness that 1 have done everyshing that I could do and have acted |in the way that is best suited Tor all in this world wide conflict.
 If anything more is asked from me by either side, they will find me ready when the moment arrives"
 Attorney Joseph Scott of counsel for the defense issued a statement declaring he had participated in the case because of a desire to give the McNamaras fair and impartial trial.

 The big doors were swung open and the oak bars held the crowd back. The throngs began to fret and additional baliffs were summoned to clear the hall.
