to consult. Senator Stone came in
and took seat at the front Of the
room where he scowled at the wit,

support of his assertion that Lauter-
bacf's story as told by Ledyard was

dation.''
When they came out Of the confer

to the committee that in all his In
lerviews with Ledyard and represea-
tatives of Morgan and Co, he had
only one object in view-regaining
the good graces. for professional rea-
sons with Morgan & Co, He then
denied that he knew any OF Lamar's
telephone relations.
"Mr. Lamar had done many honor
able things for me. He got Mr.. Rogers
Of Standard Oil fame to be my per-
sonal client and ! did many big
things for Mr.. Rogers as a result,
notably preventing the Guggenheims
taking the American Smelling COM
pany under their control in their own
way. On Feb 6, met Mr.. Ledyard
and his story Of that first meeting Is
substantially correct This meeting
was in his office"
Lauterbach denied, however, that
he had admitted to Ledyard that
David Lemar was 'blackmailer."
While he was reading, Lamar took
seat at the left OF the witness and
following closely his friends story
He had lost his carefree Joking air
and was evidently trifle worried.
