and Morgan laughed together jovially
across the committees table.
You say you contributed for the

again.
Morgan said he never talked with
anybody or asked anyone about sub
scriptions.
They wanted more money say
s250,0o0 or SO. said. $4,000 is all

said Morgan.
Pomerene wanted to know what the
emergency in New York state was

WAS there any refund to Rogers.
Archbold or anybody OF $100,000?''
asked Pomerene.
Never heard Of it, said Duen.
Duell admitted he never heard of a
