arrest Mr.. Barnes said to him: John
O'Leary, we've got you right. Forget
loyalty to your brother. Remember your
wife and children and come across"
He did not come across" he said, and
his bail was fxed at 100000.
The Government put on several wit
| nesses in rebuttal. Henry A. Wise. for
mer United States Attorney, testified in
| relation to letter he wrote to John
o'Leary asking to be relieved as counsel
for Jeremiah in the BuL case. In this
letter he declared an intention to volun-
teer for service as n trained soldier and
| added: THE officers of our Government
are so bitter that IL I should defend
your brother in this case they would
probably treat me as they have treated
Gen. Wood and refuse to sccept my
offer of service
Mr.. Wise was treated with profess
sional courtesy and was not pressed for
his views on the treatment of Gen.
Wood He declared that the officers to
whom he referred were not connected
with the Attorney-Generals office. lie
| said he had talked to many army Of
ficers. but not about jeremiah O'Leary's
case.
Mr.. wise said that jeremiah had been
treated fairly by the Government, so far
as he knew.
Barnes Denies Jcrry's Charge.
Mr.. Barnes took the stand to defend
himself against testimony of jeremiah
that Carl Whitney. an associate of Mr..
Wise, had said Mr.. Barnes had expressed
an opinion that it would be we'll for Mr..
Wise to withdraw from the O'Leary case
because it had sinister phases. Mr..
Barnes said that Mr.. Whitney was un-
luhl 40 90 If
his mother.
Mr.. Barnes said he told Mr.. Whitney
on the only occasion he ever talked TO
him about the 0'Leary case that he
| would regret to have Mr.. Wise retire
from the case because he regarded Mr..
Wise as man OF strong will fitted to
control jeremiah. Il told him that l
had read in newspaper that Jerry in
tended to sum up at his trial and ]
feared that unless he was restrained he
| would run all over the lot" Mr.. Barnes
said.
Mr.. Barnes said that Mr.. Whitney
| asked for the book listing the contribu-
| tons to the American Truth Society. OF
! which jeremiah was president. and he
gave him 1.-The little black book" which
had been turned over to the Grand Jury
| by Jeremiah O'Leary. Il told Mr.. Whit
| ney.'' continued Mr.. Barnes, that the
only evidence I had of German money
, in the American Truth Society was
| found in that book
Cause of the II. A. Wise Report.
The prosecutor said that when Mr.
Whitney told him that Mr.. Wise nigh,
| be prevented by other engagements from
| going to trial on April / he made the
joking comment:
when l get through with you and
| Henry A. Wise in this case you will
wish had forced 1t to trial while you
| were otherwise engaged"
This remark might have been the basis
for the charge that he tried to influence
Mr.. Wise to withdraw from the case
| Mr.. Barnes said
Mary Bielaski, servant in Johr
| OLeary's home who has been held In
| Waverly House for several weeks as a
| material witness. was the last witness
| Because of the frequent protests OF Mr.
! Fielder against the young woman's al.
! legged Illegal detention in the place used
| for holding women enemy aliens II was
thought that her testimony would be OF
| Importance to the Government
! Her talk was brief and tended to aid
| the defence. II did no harm to Jere-
! house on the night preceding his figh,
when Lyons alleged he was riding aim
lessly about the streets in an automo-
| bile.
/ After testifying the young woman was
| released on a motion by Mr.. Fielder
| which met no opposition.
