corner IN the room. The defense al.
lowed him to 20 as far as lie pleased.
Many exceptions were taken, but
both Judge Flanagan and the counsel
for the defense extended every cour-
tesy. The colonel clearly dominated
the court, counsel and jury.
Many objections were made to his
story Of his strenuous adventures in
Africa ana the circumstances involved
in the Milwaukee shooting, but the
matter was allowed TO 20.
The colonel lnsinuated, as did his
counsel. that the bullet he received in
Milwaukee might have been due to the
Newctt publication. He repeated sew

stemiousness. His counsel had him 80

He did not wish that story to spread

Probably in no previous case has the
story been spread so widely.
