Connolly's testimony that he sent
his information in a message by pri-
vate wire from his office to the Hut =
ton house now has been disputed by
every telegrapher in Hutton's employ
who, according to Sherman l.. Whip
pie counsel to the committee. might
have received the message. Joseph w
Becker, the Connolly private wire op-
orator in Hutton's Office, first disputed
Connol1y's story on the stand yester-
day and today other telegraphers from
the Hutton offices who were examined
by Whipple swore they had not re-
ceived it,
The missing link in the testimony OF
all telegraphers who may have hand
led the message is that of the two op-
orators in Connolly's office. They will
be early witnesses.
Committeeman injected many ques
| tons into the record today about the
possibility of telephone communica-
ton between the Hutton and Connolly
houses when it developed that the pri-
vate wire might be used either for teIe-
graphing or telephoning. Records of all
long distance calls between the two
offices during the peace note period
if any exist, will be subpoenaed.
