The cross examination was directed by District Attorney John W. Preston
 VUn Papen was in San Francisco during the year 1915, B1pp said. but lis visit chiefly was for recreation. It was in that year the government alleges various dynamite plots against allied intuition shipments and Cana dian railroad property either were planned or successfully executed.
 "Is it not q fact that Lieutenant G. ". you Brickeu and C. C. Crowley, tN other defendants in this case, plan ned 10 take serv:ce under voa Papen because he had more money to spend on dynamiting entente intuition ship .ments?' Preston asked.
 Not at ali. There is nothing to it. Bopp replied
