REPORTERS AID DARROW
Swear Franklin Exonerated Lawyer of
Bribery Completely.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 13.-Tn the
bribery trial of Clarence S. Darrow
yesterday, d. NJ. Willard press teleg-
nard, reporters for local newspapers,
all of whom had been present at the
preliminary examination of Bert
Franklin on the charge of bribing jur-
Ors, testified that Franklin had made
statements generating Mr.. Darrow of
any connection with the alleged Of
tense.
Robert F. Balm, the Mcnamara jur-
or alleged to have been bribed, again
took the stand. Attorney Rogers ask
cd if he had ever told l. b. Henderson
that Darrow and Hartman had moth
ing to do with corruption. He said
he had not.
Henderson had testified that Balm
told him Franklin alone was RESPONSE
BILE for his trouble and that barrow
had nothing to do with it.
Franklin's testimony that he had no
| transactions with John Il. Harrington,
the chief investigator of the McNama-
ra defense, was cOntradicted by Miss
Fern kernoghan, former stenogTa-
pher in the Offices of the Mcnamara
defense. She testified to having seen
both in consultation frequently.
The prosecution objected to Attor-
ney Tom l.. Johnson testifying on the
ground that he could not tell OF his
professional relations with Franklin
unless the latter consented.
The defense held that when Frank.
' lin took the stand he waived any such
rights and that he could not be i'm.
peached on certain points without the
evidence of the lawyer. The question
was under discussion when court ad
journed unil Monday morning.

cluded its laDors last night with the
nomination OF the party standard
