Mrs. David CapIan, Wanted to
Testify in Mcnamara Case,
Was Spirited Out of CaIifor-
mia by Order of Defendant.
'WOMAN'S HUSBAND
UNDER INDICTMENT
Allegation Made That She
Could Not Have Given Evi-
dence Under Laws of State;
No Offence Committed.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 1S-The
jury bribery cases on which Clarence
$. Darrow is being tried was almost
completely lost sight of at today's
session of the trial in the effort of
the prosecution to show that Mrs.
David Caplan was one Of the Me-
Namara witnesses whom Darrow had
conspired corruptly to prevent from
testifying through Anton Johannsen
and Olaf A, Tveitmoe, labor leaders
Of San Francisco.
There was a marked difference in
how the opposing sides view the al
legged spiriting away from San Fran
cisco of the wife and children of one
Of the men indicted with the Nc
Namaras for the blowing up of the
Times building.
AS seen by the prosecution, Mrs.
Caplan was a material witness for
case who had been surreptitiously
taken first to an isolated mountain
retreat some distance from San Fran
cisco and later by automobile to
Reno, New, accompanied by Johann
sen.
AS pictured by the defense, it was
a woman toiling in midsummer In
San Francisco sweat shop to support
her little children, harassed by pri-
vate detectives until she had appealed
twice to the chief of police for pro-
tection; finally, "hounded' out Of her
position and then taken in charge by
friends.
The strongest points made by the
defense, however, Ii is claimed, are
that Mrs. Caplan, as the wife of CO.
defendant, could not have cen n wit
ness in the Mcnamara case; that II
she could have been viewed as a COM
petent witness her services were never
required. and that the time of the oc-
currence was two months prior to the
beginning of the trial of James ID.
The defense made strong objections
to the testimony of Malcolm
the chauffeur, who said on
the stand today that he had been
hired by Olaf A. Tveitmoe to take
Mrs. Caplan from San Francisco to
Reno.
The defense contonded that no con-
nection could be shown between the
defendant and those who had assisted
In taking Mrs. Caplan out of the
state.
Judge Hutton hao indicated that he
would rule in favor of the contention
of the defense, but a statement by
Attorney Rogers That Johannsen and
Tveitmoe were interested in the Nc
Namara defense was declared by the
court as sufficien. grounds for the
admissio ion of the testimony.
Rogers offered &c put Johannsen.
then present in the court room, on
the stand and also to produce Tveit-
moe, who he said was n the city to
combat the avowal of the prosecution,
but the court would not allow 1t.

Chicago, June tS.--Eight delegates
for Colonel Roosevelt and eighteen
for President Taft marked the days
gains OF the two chief rivals for the
republican nomination for president
in the decisions OF contest by the re-
publican national committee today
1t was day of Roosevelt victories,
but victories achieved with the full
acquiescence of the TAFT majority on
the committee.
Missouri's contests which threat
ened another battle between the Taft
and Roosevelt factions wurr cont
promised so effectively that the cuin~
mittee was unanimous In 2ifihE
Roosevelt eight and Taft six % tins
contested delegates from that stiite.
The decisions today We're.
For Taft--Two each from the se,-
ond. Third. Fourth, Sixth, Seventh
and Eighth Mississippi districts. TIVE
each from the Third, Seventh anu.
Fourteenth Missouri districts.
Total, is.
For Roosevelt--Four delegates at
large from Missouri, Two each from
the First and Fifth Missouri dis
tricts. Two each from the Third and
Ninth North Carolina districts
Total, IL.
The committee now has given Pres
iden. Taft rsa delegates and roionei
Roosevelt IS.
In the Ninth North Carolina the
committee seated the McNinch-
Greene delegation but the contest did
not involve presidential candidates.,
as both delegations were instructed
for Roosevelt.
The committee considered the
Third district contest and seated the
two Roosevelt delegates.
When adjournment was taken at
3:15 o'clock II was the belief that
other compromises would be effected
to dispose of some of the remaining
contests. In the Missouri cases, az
soon as the Roosevelt delegation at
large had been seated. conferences
were undertaken amongst the Mis-
souri factions which resulted in the
dividing of contested district delega-
tions between Roosevelt and Taft.
Similar conferences are expected to
result In the settlement OF other state
contests.
These compromises will not affect
Texas or washington, 1t Is UNDER
stood.
The contests remaining involve
delegates from North Carolina, from
Tennessee, 80 from Texas, 20 from
Virginia. IA from Washington,
from Alaska, 2 from oklahoma.
from south Carolina and from the
District OF Columbia.

ROOSEVELT MAY GO TO
CHICAGO CONVENTION

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 13.-After
talking by telephone with Senator
Dixon for several hours tonight,
Colonel Roosevelt said he might go to
Chicago. His final decision remains
in allegiance.
Colonel Roosevelt said the delegates
who were supporting him were indig-
nant at the trend of affairs in Chicago.
He was told tonight that they regard
ed the situation as being "a cynicaily
open attempt on the part of the ma
tional committee to defraud the peo-
pie of the victory they have won."
\ 1t was the intention of the national
committee, the colonel continued, to
nominate for president the man who
had been repudiated by the rank and
file of the republican party. The re-
suit, as Colonel Roosevelt put it, has
been an intense feeling leading to a
strong demand from the Roosevelt
delegates especially those from west
ern states, that he go to Chicago.
The colonel explained that he had
been told that his supporters wished
his presence, not because he Is a can
didate, but because they regarded him
as the man who happened to be lead
ing the fight for the people.
Colonel Roosevelt will go to New
York in the morning. Whether he
will leave for Chicago later In the
day or return to Oyster Bay tomor-
row night, could not be learned.
1T do not know what l shall do"
he declared. 1T depends upon what
/ learn In the morning"
The colonel said that although he
had been urged to give definite
answer tonight to the appeal from
Chicago, he had replied tSat he
wisher to hear in full the reasons of
those who urged him to go to the con-
vention city before deciding.
The Roosevelt house on Sycamore
Hill was ablaze with lights until far
into the night. Messages by telegraph
and telephone came in large numbers
all evening.
In the afternoon he said he would
have a statement to make at 6 O'Clock.
When that hour came, he said ne
would have no statement until
o'clock. At 8 O'Clock he was still en-
gagged on the long distance wire and
1t was nearly midnight before he APP
peared to say he could not make his
decision before tomorrow. Before
he retired the ool~ael had completed
his arrangements for a quick depar-
ture.
