Other Lawyers Employed.
'since yesterday I recollect that Mr..
Horning did employ two other lawyers.
One was named Schulteis and the other
was named Sullivan. He said he believed
they each got about $500 or $500.
II didn't talk to them" Heidenheimer
said. "Schulteis came to see me and
sent him to Horning, and he put him to
work.
THAT accounts for $500 to $500 more"
remarked Chairman Garrett.
This would reduce the unaccounted for
balance to $1,3165O at the least.
Chairman Garrett asked him II Horning
had said anything about the balance
unaccounted for. Heidenheimer insisted
that Horning had not mentioned what
he did with it, although Horning. Heiden-
heimer and Burnstine had a talk for half
an hour last night.
Chairman Garrett said he would like to
have an account of what was said at this
Horning had not said what had been
done with the money.
Did you tell him you were quizzed
about that balance unaccounted for?"
"Oh, yes
What did he say?'
He said, All right"

mo. 1 left it all to Horning."
The witness was closely quizzed as to
and Sullivan. Heidenheimer insisted
that he had not remembered 1t at the
time.

Chairman Garrett tried to get Heiden-

Heidenheimer kept saying. Il don't re-
member"
''You just said not two minutes ago
that he discussed this 5000. Now this
happened only last night. What did he
say?'
Refers to Fund as Jackpot"
Chairman Garrett called the fund a
Jackpot, and the committee laughed.
This $3.734.36 is all the money you

Eyes"
Chairman Garrett asked repeatedly if
there was any other expense about
which Heidenheimer knew anything. re-
ceiving no definite answer.
Who Is Hart?" witness was asked.
Il don't know
Is he an Attorney

Representative Nolan found what he
thought was an error Of $3.50 In Heiden-
heimer's statement. and the line Of ques-
tons he put up to the witness sounded
like an examination in arithmetic. The
result OF the questioning at this point
was considered to be problematical.
Mr.. Nolan confused the witness az to
the date of the settlement which in
cluded the payment OF the $1,000 fee
to Henry E. Davis.
