SENSATIONAL TURN
IN ARCHIBALD CASE
Witness Testifies to Another
Note that the Jurist
e.. Endorsed.
(Nationa1 News Association

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Another
bomb was exploded before the house
judiciary committee today when H.
c. Reynolds, attorney for the Boland
brothers, was recalled to the stand
and described an effort to have John
T. Lenahan, former member of con-
gress, discount note for $2,5OO, of
which Judge r. W. Archibald either
was the maker or endorser, while Len.
ahan had case pending in Judge
Archbald's court. The testimony was
utterly unexpected. Reynolds declar-
ed when he left the stand yesterday
that he had told everything he knew
in connection with the case and it was
generally supposed he would leave the
city today. After the cross examina-
ton of Miss Mary BoIand had been
concluded Representative Norris re-
called Reynolds.
you stated yesterday you had told
everything you knew regarding this
case. Have you anything to add
now?" asked Norris.
Il overlooked yesterday replied
Reynolds, ITO tell this committee of
an incident that occurred last March
or February in the office of former
congressman Lenahan, who in 1908
was associated with me in a case be-
fore Judge Archibald. When was in
Lenahan's office I reported to him
the story of the $500 note which Judge
Archibald had tried to get the Boland
brothers to discount. He then inform
ed me that in 1908 when he and l
were representing the old Plymouth
coal company in its suit against var.
ious fire insurance companies w. w.
Rissinger, treasurer of the coal COM
pany, had come to his office with a
$4,000 note for discount. I don't re-
member now if Judge Archibald
was the maker or the endorser, but his
name was on the note''
Reynolds explained that the note
was finally discounted after Lenahan
had refused to have anything to do
with it.
Rissinger, the next witness, detailed
the project which required the prepare.
ito of the $4,000 note. explaining Judge
Archibald was. an endorser and was to
receive one-third share of the stock OF
a placer gold min in Honduras for en-.
dorsing the note. The other endorsers
were Rissinger's brother-in-law and a
Honduran who had interested him in
the project. The title to the gold mine
was not clear it was later ascertained
said the witness, and he had paid
interest on the note since 1908, when
it was made. Judge Archibald, he said
had paid nothing.

the former pastor, who was electro
cuted in Charleston prison at 1917
o'clock this morning for the murder of
Miss Avis Linnell, lay today on a

ing been opened by Warden Bridges.
That Richeson died bravely was the
unanimous verdict today of all the wit

and his actions bore out his recent de-
termination:
II have given myself to God. l shall
die like a man." ~
