In Jail until they get ready to get
him out and that eventually he would

attic into Canada. It was the plan to
have him plead not guilty and then
to have the government present Its
evidence. This evidence showed that
Thaw had been accompanied into
Canada by Thompson. Then the
prosecution had the Matteawan record
produced which showed Thaw's COM
mitment as insane. The Thaw law

They intended going into the case at

McDermott took the stand cor

way the witness described the man
who Is his principal accuser. The
congressman dismissed as dreams
just Dreams the Mulhall charge that
he received $1,000 from the United
Brewers Association for voting right

said he couldn't have given Mulhall
information about Hughes eight hour

did not meet the lobybist, Moreover,
he denied being in Washington Christ

fessed his financial embarrassments
He said he lost money In "a sucker

help. Mulhall gave the inventor OF
the aeroplane on which McDermott
had gone broke, letters Of introduc-

these did any good. He saw he was
stuck on the aeroplane deal and bor
rowed from Geo. Hornig, local pawn-

witness could make of the secret

They say 1t is impossible to do effec-

In addition to this, they say, the
