 The witness was MT. McDougal Hawkes.. of New York.
 MT. McDouga1 Hawkes. is plump and blonde. He doesn't like the hot weather, and such bothersome things as subpoenas and testimony are his pet averE ons, especially in the sum- mer time.
 MT. McDougal Hawkes. is a lawyer by profession His hobby, it would appear from his testimony, is the col lection of homes. MT. McDougal Hawkes. without doubt, has the most extensive collection of city and coun- try residences in captivity. He can hang up his hat in New York, or in Darien, Or in Ridge1eld, or in New Ha- ven, and be at home He votes in New York, where he has 9 flock Of ofnces scattered hitIaer and yon over Manhattan.
 When MT. McDouga1 Hawkes. took the stand, he was immediately dressed against the torridity of July day in a top-story law library His wardrobe was a Sartoria1 masterpiece his cravat standing out, spectators agreed, as a positive success. It beg gared the description of words It was art-and a masterpiece.
 But MT. McDougaI Hawkes., as has been remarked, doesn't like testimony giving and such things. So right or the bat he demanded to know by whose authority and under what stat ute, he had been forced to come here from his divers homes to tell about some political things in which he had no interest.
 Attorney Cummings read him the law to show that it was perfectly proper that his immaculate presence grace the meeting. MT. McDougal Hawkes. then decided to waive all technical objection and took the stand And he told the commissioner and counsel about his relatives. of whom he has many both dead and living
 MT. McDouga1 Hawkes. unfolded an interesting tale of genealogy that was a novelty for the lawyers and a rare treat for the spectators. MT. McDou-s gal Hawkes. homes may be scattered about the country to some extent; his relatives, though, veritably sinfest. this and neighboring states He told the commissioner where his departed ones slept and where his living relatives shed the brilliance of their beings over the community

 Did you give to the state central committee ?'' he was asked.
 No, sir, I did not
 Did you give to the fund of the congressional nominee in New Haven, where Yale University Is located, and where one of your homes is located, and where. some of your realt1ves live?''
 NO, sir. I did not replied MT, Nc- Dougal Hawkes.. in bored sort of way
 MT. Cummings inquired as to MT. McDougaI Hawkes.. financial interests These were in steel, railroads and fer tiIizers industries he was told. MT. McDouga1 Hawkes. fertiIzed the Hill fund to the extent of $100, sstos help the candidates of the Republican par ty, rather than to help MT. Hill,'' wit ness said.
 Then MT. Cummings read a letter in which MT McDougaI Hawkes. closed by telling the Hill managers that he q be glad to do anything else that might assist MT. Hill.''
 After which, MT. McDougaI Hawkes., perspiring but still as 1latty as ever, was excused and departed for one of
 
 Frank B. .Gurley. treasurer of. the town committee of Stamford, was examined about expenditures in his town His report didn't acknowledge $20O sent to the committee by A. C. Wheeler, Hills political agent. This discrepancy might be accounted for, he said, because that money was prob ably spent for the Stamford canvass. which was made to satisfy Hills curiosity on how the voters stood
 MT. Gurley's report showed receipts of $1,721.29, all of which was spent with the exception of one cent MT Gurley didn't know whether that was an unusual sum or not. In fact, some of the town committee, he said, had reproached him because he didn't tend to his job better.
 MT Cummings read long list of moneys paid out under the heading of Autos and WorkersV There were about four or five autos, but there was an army of workers, who received from $2 to $5. MT. GurIey didn't know what work they did. He merely got the list from the committee. Tn some instances only the last names appeared, and in one instnace. the sum of $5 was paid to Natalie MT Cur ley couldn't tell anything about s'Na- talfe s' work-or sex.
 John J. Williamson, Republican town treasurer of Stratford, told about his expenditures and sought to clear up some obscure things. It was then announced that MT. Donovan's case was complete, except for the examfna- ton of witnesses mentioned above.
