ROCKEFELLER is ILL
FEDERAL SPECIALIST ASSERTS
OIL MAN CAN TESTIFY.
Dr.. Richardson, Sent to Examine
MutIi-MIlIIonaire at Miami, Fla,
by Pujo Committee.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Voted for by
all the members of the Pujo commit
tee save Chairman Pujo himself, the
committee, by a resolution, decided
Wednesday that William Rockefeller
may be examined by the chairman
and Samuel Untermyer, the commit
tees counsel, although the examina-
ton will be private and will be held,
in all probability, in the south.
The resolution was based on a re-
port by DR.. Richardson Of Washington.
the committees expert.
DR.. Richardson said that he exam
ined Mr.. Rockefeller at Miami, Fla,
on Sunday, January IL; that no one
else was present. and that he spent
an hour with him. The affidavit pre-
sented by DR.. Chappell. Mr.. Rookie
feller's physician, he said, did not
fully state the case.
"Mr. Rockefeller's condition is
more serious than would be supposed
from reading DR.. Chappell's affidavit,
said the witness.
DR.. Richardson said that he found
that the right vocal cord of the oil
magnate was practically gone and that
the left was badly affected. He said
he found Mr.. Rockefeller's pulse 100
and his blood pressure 1852. A writing
test, he said, showed that Mr.. Rookie
feller by continued effort could write
only eleven words in two and one-hali
minutes.
He said he found a s3ndition Of
what is mostly called shaking palsy,
which made an examination by writ
ing a practical impossibility.
Il believe he could be subjected to
short examination orally, without
immediate danger to his life," said
DR.. Richardson. But lengthy exami
nation would probably weaken his vo
cal cords to point where a serious
swelling of the larynx might be caused
or a hemorrhage might result thai
would end in serious consequences"
