Missiyes Show Close Relation
Between Colonel and
Boss Platt
DEMAND FOR SEATS
IS MATERIALLY LESS
No Startling Disclosures Are
Made Today In Big
Libel Suit
BY Bond P. Geddes.

Syracuse, N. Y, April 27.-While
Colonel Roosevelt chafed and fidgeted
in the witness chair, letter after letter
was read in court today tending to
show the close political relations that
formerly existed between the former
president, the late Senator Platt and
William Barnes, Jr., the latter two re.
publican "bOsses" of New York state.
Today s sessions of Barnes suit for
$4,000 damages for libel was given
over largely to the reading Of letters.
Counsel for Barnes produced fifty
from Plat to Roosevelt showing their
close relations during the closing
months of the cOlonel's administration
as governor and also while he was
vice-president and president
''You are not an easy boss,' the
colonel iocularly wrote to Platt on one
occasion.
No startling political disclosures
were made as q result Of the reading
of the correspondence, but Roosevelt
was obviously nervous and nettled as
he was kept upon the stand in idleness
during the hours taken up by the pre-
sentation Of the letters.
Dozens Of letters exchanged between
Barnes and Roosevelt between the
years 1904 and 1908 were read, show.
ing the cordial relations and political
harmony existing between the two.
Autobiography Incompetent

held to be incompetent by Justice
