Still Hopes for Pardon

muted or the men pardoned. | still cling
to that belief"
Generally and specifically, Darrow
denied every charge against him of
briblng Jurors, corrupting witnesses or
otherwise violating the law.
Taking up the alleged bribery of
George N Lockwood, the charge upon
which Darrow is on trial, he denied
that he had ever discussed the cor
ruption of Lockwood with Franklin or
with anyone else.
Did you give Franklin $4,000 on the
morning Of November 2s?" asked Rog-
ers.

ply.

"Dld you see Job Hartman that
day."

The check for $4,000 which he gave
o. A. Tveitmoe and which the latter
cashed In San Francisco, was not used
for any corrupt purpose. but was given
to Tveitmoe to defray expenses OF the

ately crossed the ring and struck How
ard after the gong had sounded and
the men had returned to their corners.

ing. Leitch was not present to-day. so
a summons was issued directing him to
