Witnesses In Libel Suit Give Evidence
to the Temperate Habits of the Col.
onel.

Several witnesses for Colonel Theo.
dore Roosevelt, including relative,
testified in Colonel Roosevelt's suit
for libel against George A. Newett,
the Ishpeming newspaper owner, in
Marquette, Mich.
Clifford Pinchot, chief forester in the
Roosevelt administration, testified to
the temperate habits of the plaintiff.
The substance of the testimony, as
given by Philip Roosevelt young son
of the colonePs cousin; Charles Willis
Thompson, a New York newspaper
man; Andrew A. Abelt, former loco
motive fireman; Edwin Emerson, a
Cuban Rough Rider campaigner, and
A. 2. Blair, a former common pleas
judge of Ohio, was:
That, during his campaign inCuba
with the Rough Riders, Colonel Roose.
welt drank only black coffee or water,
and never liquor Of any kind.
That during his political campaigns
the colonel drank champagne only oc.
casionally and never to excess.
That while Colonel Roosevelt kept a
large and varied supply of wines at his
home, he never INDUCED in them i'm
moderately.
"He kept a regular gentleman's eel.
lar" Philip Roosevelt said.
Judge Blair told OF his trip with Mr..
Roosevelt in southern Ohio in the last
campaign.
There was nothing to indicate the
colonel was intoxicated or had been
drinking" declared Judge Blair. He
was in good physical condition and
sober"
Colonel Roosevelt, as usual since
the beginning of the trial, listened
with the keenest interest to the wit
ness denial that he frequently "got
drunk as charged in the editorial
published by the defendant.
A serious drop in Newett's stock,
even among his close friends, has be-
come apparent since the falling from
grace of the defendants star witness,
J. Martin Miller, in the case.
Without Miller's deposition it is the
general belief that the last has been
heard of the much-talked-of Cannon
reception in Washington, when, &C.
cording to the deposition, the ex-presi
dent drank to excess.
A report that has reached the de.
fense from Ann Arbor, where Roose
velt spoke to 800 university students
from his car in 1910, while enroute to
Grand Rapids to attend Lincoln ban
quet, says that three students WI.
testify that the colonel appeared" tc
be intoxicated. Should this trio OF
students appear, it is likely that
Charles E. S. Osborn, Jr, son of ex
Governor Osborn, of Michigan, who
stood within a few feet of Roosevelt
at the time, will take the stand in re-
buttal and declare that the ex-presi
dent was both normal and sober.

with the plaintiff and defendant, is
receiving a heavy mail every day ow'
Ing to the prominence given to the
case in the newspapers. Those to
Shiras are mostly begging letters. One
of them asked him for money to pay
an instalment on farm. Those to
Roosevelt and Newett for the most
part are full of advice as to how the
case should be conducted.
