laWson's Defiance

Mr. Lawson continued today to de-
fly the committee. refusing over and
over again to give the names OF the
men he had been told protited by tho
Leak" after suggesting that he could
name an official higher up than any
yet mentioned. Four motions to cite
him before the bar of the House for
contempt, pending when he left tho
witness stand, were considered by tho
committee in executive session. No de-
cision was reached, but some of the
members indicated later that Mr.
Lewson probably would not be re-
called and that if it was determined to
report the Wood resolution unfavora-
bly, the contempt charges would he
forgotten. In the meantime. the finan-
cier remains in Washington subject to
the committees orders.
Continue Today
The hearing will continue throughout
tomorrow, at least, to give several OF
the men mentioned in the various reports
and rumors related before the commi;te,
an opportunity to make statements.
During today's examination Mr.. Law
son frankly admitted that he was not
particularly concerned with the so-cal!el
leak" itself, but that his purpose IN
agitating the subject primarily was to
bring about a thorough investigation Of
the New York stock Exchange that
would lead TO incorporation and federal
regulation.
Baruch's Denial
Barnard Baruch of New York who
contributed S50,000 TO the last Demo-
cratic campaign fund, and whose name
has been mentioned in the stories of
money made through leak, took the
stand this afternoon and denied that he
had any advance information whatso-
ever on the Presidents peace note. the
German peace proposals or Lloyd
Georges speech. Admitting that he
sold short many thousands of shares of
United States Steel during the periods
from Dec. IL to Dec. 81. he said his
action was due solely to his belief THAI
this was the proper attitude to take in
the market, in view of the general
opinion that the way had been opened
for negotiations of peace.

Whipping Man

Testimony describing the whipping
of young girls by Thaw made UP some
of the most sensational chapters in the
numerous court actions on the ques-
ton of Thaw's sanity after his acquit-
tai of the murder of White on the
grounds of insanity and his commit
ment to the Matteawan state hospital
for the criminal insane. Witnesses for
the state stated that whipping was a
mania with Thaw.
Declared Sane
After several years litigation at a
cost of several hundred thousand dol
lars to New York state and to Thaw
and in which bitter partisanship was
caused as to whether he was justly or
unjustly kept in Matteawan. he was
declared sane by a jury in habeas cor
pus proceedings in the latter part of
1915 and released by a court order.
According to the information laid
before the district attorney it was to-
ward the end of 1915 that Thaw first
met and became interested in Gump.
He~ had gone to California following
his release here to attend the Pan
ANA Pacific Exposition at San Fran
cisco and later went to the southern
part of the state, passing some time
at Long Beach. Calf, where he met
