N. M. OPENS
ON MULHALL
Confessed Lobbyist Without
Glib Manner as Defense
Starts Probe
ATTORNEYS CLASH
AS REARING OPENS
By The United Press.

~ AAt 1nANtu AIEEra
WASHINGTON, July 30.-With a
list OF 25O printed questions which
they hoped to expand into twice that
many approved by the Senate lobby
investigating COMMITTEE, counsel for
the National Association of Manufac-
turers today attacked the testimony
and the letters of Martin NJ. Mulhall.
former field agent and lobbyist for
the N. A. NJ
The witness had entirely lost the
secure, glib manner that has marked
his three weeks grill at the hands
of the committee and appeared ner-
vous and irritable.
II was evident when the cross-ex-
animation began that il would not be
concluded before the end OF the week
ana might continue over. After the
n. A. NJ. has finished the American
Federation of Labor will take the
witness and question him on those
portions Of his letters which relate
to the influence which he said he
welded over labor leaders.
Members of the committee showed
signs of heat frazzled nerves today
and for the first time since the Mul-
hall letters were produced. clashes
were frequent.
Senators Reed and Cummins had
an argument over just whose wit
ness Mulhall was. This witness him
self was so nervous, he had a hard
time making himself understood
Nelson tried to cross-examine Null
hall as to whether he did not pay off
a $500 mortgage on his property after
the Maine campaign OF 1910 Null
hall fared up and said he did not;
on the contrary he raised the mort
gage.
Overman bade him be silent but
Mulhall went on crying out that he
would sell out for $1,000
when I tell you to keep still. you
shut up, roared Overman pounding
the table.
Senator Reed broke in, objecting to
Nelson's cross-examination
1T isn't proper" he said.
ooh, all right hut don't preach me
a sermon on IT," said Nelson YEARLY
II wouldn't choose you for a ser
mon subject" retorted Reed angrily
Mulhall maintained tnat the n A.
NJ had known he was working for
the brewing interests in Maine; even
in the face of a letter from J. A.
Emery censuring him for his act
He was unable, however. TO find the
letters showing that the ~ A. NJ. was
cognizant of this worK Robert Nc
Carter, counsel for the ~ A. NJ, de-
MED there we're any such letters
when that gentleman says that. he
either isn't posted or he's telling what
isn't true" cried Mulhall.
