ing, and that probably he would be
brought to terms soon. and would make
amnesty with the government as did

there, but surrendered after a short time.

but that as a politician he had shown
himself an adept at winning confidence

about the old Equitable Life building in

FASTENING END OF INQUIRY
Albert c. Burrage Testifies About Or
ganization of the Amalgamated
Copper Company.

Although suffering from shaking pal
sy and unable to speak above a whisper
William Rockefeller is able to undergo
a "brief examination" if his testimony is
or paramount Importance" DR.. C. W.
Richardson told the money trust COM
mittee today. DIR. Richardson said that
a brief oral examination would have no
immediate serious consequences to the
oil magnate, although a prolonged grill
might cause hemorrhage or a swelling
of the larnyX, which would stop his
breathing
Dr. Richardson testified that. in his
opinion, Rockefeller would be able to tes-
tlfy for an hour or two He added. how
ever that were he Mr.. Rockefeller's ply
siclan he would endeavor to protect him
against such strain.
Examination Last Sunday.
DR.. Richardson said that he examined
Mr.. Rockefeller at Miami, Fla, Sunday.
January II, that no one else was present.
and that he spent an hour with him. The
affidavit presented by DR.. ChappelI, Mr..
Rockefeller's physician, he said, did not
fully state the case.
Mr.. Rockefellers condition is more
serious than would be supposed from
reading DR.. Chappells affidavit said
INC Witness.
DIR. Richardson said that he found that
the right vocal chord 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 162. \ writing test, he said,
showed that Mr.. Rockefeller by continued
effort could write only eleven words in
two and one-half minutes. He said he
found a condition of what is mostly
called shaking palsy which made an
examination by writing a practical i'm
possibility.
II believe he could be subjected to a
short examination orally. without i'm
mediate danger to his life,'' said Dr.
Richardson. But a lengthy examination
would probably weaken his vocal cords

iarEnx might be caused. or hemorrhage
might result that would end in serious
consequences

Real estate is like your body. 1t has
a heart. That heart is active and stays
in one place. and supplies vigor to your
limbs-yet in your limbs there may be in

"The heart is migratory" suggested
Judge Prouty.

a Judge sending the publisher of a

of to IS years for during to exer-
else his constitutional right to
