the court.
II was during his examination that
Mr.. Barnes. so far as any. one IN tne
courtroom noticed, first stared directly
at the Colonel. When mention OF the
short campaign that began at Slboney
brought a new CLEAN to Colonel Roose-
velt's ewes and added vim to his ges-
lures Mr.. Barnes slowed his chair
around and gazed straight at the wit
ness. Again when Colonel Roosevelt
began 70 recount his conversations with
the ex-chairman of the Republican
State Committee Mr.. Barnes fastened
his pale eyes upon him. ~
The glances were not returned. The
witness was too full of the story he
must tell. if the absurd court rules
would let him, to permit of any per
sontl recognition. His eyes roved over
the audience and occasionally rested on
the Jurors, but never once did they
hesitate on Mr.. Barnes.
Even at the morning session Colonei
Roosevelt gave indication that. now
that the preliminaries were about over,
his interest was awakening. Mr. lvins.
in his opening address, brought the
first fash. He concluded with chal-
lenge which he flung squarely into the
Colonel's teeth.
"And So" the lawyer declared, shak-
ing a forefnger at the stocky hgure
seated at the counsel table, I'VE have
brought him here to substantiate those
charges if he can"
Colonel Roosevelt's teeth were wait
ing for the challenge before it was mn.
ished. They cleaned in the grin OF
the fighter and little wrinkles gathered
at the corners Of his eyes as they mar
rowed. His head shook pugnaciously
and he gave Mr.. Wins stare for stare.
While William II. Van Benschoten
was outlining the Roosevelt case TO the
Jury Harvey D. Hinman, as melancholy
in appearance as Simeon Ford, entered
and dropped into a chair in line with
Colonel Roosevelts gaze. The Colonel
flung his right hand high above his
head in joyous greeting. Later they
had luncheon together at the Onondaga.

burden Of the testimony of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt in the trial of the

in sympathy with big business, but had
a hand in shaping affairs in Albany so
that the interests of big business were
protected.
All that the witness was permitted to
do along that line was to repeat what
Mr.. Barnes had said to him in CONVEX
sations at various times and what he
had said to Mr.. Barnes in regard to
