 Rocekfeller demanded that he be accorded the rights given the other witnesses and firmly insisted that Walsh was seeking to inject into his questions implications against the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and its officers. Walsh was the sole ex- aminer, the other members taking no part in the questioning.
