 for the first time today in connec- ton with the trial of the former chiei counsel of the McNamara brothers for a,4eged jury bribing. Lockwood declared Darrow was walking toward Bert H. Franklin when the latter was arrested for brib cry a few moments after Lockwood had received the first installment of the payment for his vote in the trial of James B. McNamara. The day in court was one of excite ment from the time of converting until adjournment. Clashes between attor- neys, the exchange of charges of st- tempting to influence the jury, an important ruling for the prosecution on the admissibility of the evidence objected to by the defense, and the reappearance of Lockwood on the stand for the resumption of his story of the alleged trapping of Bert Frank. lin, kept up the inferest.
 The events of the day also included a repudiation by District Attorney Fredericks of Detective Robert J. Foster, and the National Erectors' Association, which employs Foster, as participants in the prosecution of the Darrow case. The repudiation followed the submission by attorneys for the defense of court affidayits in support of a petition that Detective Foster be cited for contempt of court.
 A morning newspaper today printed an interview with Foster, giving what purported to be the facts concerning the alleged trapping of Darrow in a hotel room by means of a teiephoniS device. Foster was quoted as saying the instrument would bring abou Darrow's conviction.
 The defense contended that the in- terview was printed with a view Oi influencing the jury and the prosecu. tion joined in the request for Fosters citation tomorrow
 The ruling by Judge Hutton on the issue raised by the defense on Sat urday will enable the prosecution to introduce all of the evidence in their possession tending to prove the con tention that Darrow was guilty of attempting to bribe other jurors.
 Lockwood smiled when relating in cidents which occurred while he was acting under the instructions of the district attorney in the decoying of Franklin, who, he said, had negotiated with him for his vote as a McNamara juror.
 An objection was raised by the de- fense to nearly every question put to Lockwood by the district attorney, but few were sustained.
 Lockwood, who is an old soldier, said that at his first visit to Frank lins office Franklin told him to be careful how his wife spent the money, if the deal went through.
 q told him." said Lockwood, that my wife would be the last person would want to know about it"
 Franklin, he said, visited his hume again, and Lockwood said he told him he would have nothing to do with the transaction. Franklin professed regret and told Lockwood if he changed his mind the proposition was "still open" The witness tes- tified he went to the district attor ney's office the next day and told what had happened. On this day Franklin made another visit to Lock woods farm. Franklin told Lock wood that his name had been drawn as a juror in the McNamara trial and said the witness testified George, there is s4,000 in it for you, and l want you to have it."
 Feigning to accept the proposition. though with reluctance, Lockwood said he expressed fear that the money would not be paid. and Franklin, he said, declared:
 Well, I'll talk the matter over with Clarence Darrow and he'll fix it."
 Franklin then agreed to come the next day and talk it over.
 State whether you were acting with the knowledge and advice of the district attorney" directed Mir. Fredericks.
 q was,7 said the witness.
 Lockwood then told of another con- ference with the district attorney and of a visit to his house by Captain Fredericlxs, Detective l.. Browne, of the district attorneys office, and sey- eral others connected with the pros ecutor's tsaff
 All of them concealed themselves about the premises after Lockwood had called up Franklin and told him to come out. Franklin, he said, had asked if he should bring out the "blg one" and he told him to do so.
 Three of the men concealed them selves in the barn, one on top of the structure, one on top of tank tower and one on top of house, said the witness. When Franklin came Lock- wood asked him where Darrow was. He replied. said the witness, did you think Darrow would come out here?"
 'I told him" said Lockwood. T
