Weisengotf was subjected to a
lengthy cross examination by attor'
news for the state. In response to a
direct question as to who ran the car
into the side of the bridge he swore
that Sheriff Davis did.
There was quite a sensational tilt
among the attorneys this forenoon,
when Congressman Nicely. for the de-
tense, brought out the fact that the
widow. of Davis, through Attorney
Harry G.. Fisher, one Of the counsel
for the defense. had entered a civil
suit against Deisengotf for $4,000.
Weisengoft, in testifying. had several
times stated that he was afraid to do
certain things with his automobile
because he feared for the safety OF
his children. Attorney Fisher asked
the witness if he was not afraid OF
everything. Attorney Nicely used the
opportunity to ask II he was afraid
when Fisher handed him a paper at
the jail notifying him Of the $4,000
suit. This brought all the attorneys
to their feet. The court ruled the
question out

REVELATIONS BY.
GERARD CONFIRMED
THROUGH KELLEY
CHICAGO PUBLISHER
GIVES TESTIMONY
Germany Tried to Secure the
Aid of the British in Mexican
Intervention Against y. S. :

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30
Kelley, the Chicago publisher,
declared here today that he had
personal knowledge to confirm
former Ambassador Gerard's pub
lished statement that Germany
had proposed to Great Britain a
Joint intervention in Mexico and
in ending of the Monroe Doctrine.
Last winter when in London /
read a long editorial In a well In.
formed leading paper" Mr.. Kelley
said, which stated that England
might have had peace any time
within the preceding nine months
by consenting to give Germany
free hand in Central and South
ern America.
II already had an appointment
with the British official in ques-
ton and ! asked him whether any
such proposal had been made to
his government. So far as he
knew, he said, 1t had not been
made in documentary form. But
he said that it had been made to
him personally.
This official then told me that
. Just before the war started, the
German ambassador in London
had sought an appointment with
him for personal representative
and close friends of the kaiser.
It was granted. The German had
not conversed with the British
official two minutes when he said:
Would it not be good thing
for your government and my gov
ernment TO block the evident de-
sign of the United States for con-
quest in Mexico? am ready to
give you the highest official as
surances that your country and
my country would have no diff
Guilty in arranging our respective
spheres of influence in Mexico.
ITO this the British official
replied:
"T had not known you were
coming here for such a proposal.
Neither | nor my government has
any desire to discuss this Ques-
ton. | now bid you good after
noon.
This remarkable proposal was
known 10 officials Of the British
government. Mr.. Keeley stated,
though he had not known that It
had been talked of in Germany.

Haywood BROUN WRITES OF THE WONDERFUL BRITISH ARMY

This indeed seemed a very cita-
del of destruction and loneliness.
From the cathedral we went TO
the town hall. Here again one
could not but be impressed with
the futiiity Of destruction. Ber-
nard Shaw has said that the Ger
mans made failure Of their
frightfulneSS in ArraS, and that he
could have worked more damage
with a hammer. Shaws swings a
heavy sledge, OF course, and has
had all sorts Of practice in knock
ing heads and things. but the job
would be above him. Even with
his Typewriter he could not tear
the town so cruelty as the Ger
mans have done with their dyna-
mite.
But beauty is tough. Dynamite
a bake shop and you have only
mess. Shell a tailor'S. and rub
bish is left. 1t is different when
YOU begin to turn your guns
against cathedrals and town halls.
If a structure is built beautifully,
It will break beautifully. The dy-
Mantle has cut fine lines into the
Jagged ruins Of the town hall. II

that, and they can't smash life,
but It Is not for want Of trying.
