rest. The attorney said he takes 1t for granted that Converse will not ap- pear at the trial, and that all Har- grove would testify to was that he had come here to close a deal made by Converse and to testify as to Con verses story of the lattei's relations with Rcidiugcr, Mr. Nixon depored that Reiimgcr must wait for vindica- tion, but declared that 'his time will come" and he will be eXonorated.
 Hints People Fooled.
 Referring to the fact that Converse alleged that he had paid $500 to Reid inger as the representative of Green and Stewart, and that the amount was torney said the testimony would show that "the good people who raised this i money" had Walter Hudson take the ] serial numbers of the bills and their denomination. He said that when Burns men ''realiT worked OF q case" l they arranged thaj as soon as the bflbe l had changed hands, the criminal is taken into custody and thus he is "caught with the goods.' Instead of
 pursuing this policy, he said, the de- , tecti4es are supposed to have paid the money, and then notified the bank to watch for bills of the denominations and numbers as recorded by MT. Hud- son. Tho the bank clerks watched every deposit made by Reidinger none
 of the money he had was the alleged
 bribe money, said the attocny. Mr.
 Nixon also said that Burns men usual
 ly used dictaphones, and that if the Converse allegations are true the jury
 would "hear Reidingel's hoarse voice from dictaphcne record
 MT. Nixon declared that 1t is charG-
 ed that RedjAger said the money was
 split three ways, and said it was
 strange, in such event, that Frank Stewart was not indicted along with
 Green and Reidinger.
 Concerning the visit of the detec-
 tivas tc Greens home, MT. Nixon said
 that while ". s. Harris could see the men there, he could not hear what was
 said, and that what really transpired
 was that Converse told Green, "Here's
 a message we wish you to deliver tc Redinger," and that Green demurred ; saying he was il! and the visitors probably would see Reidinger before
 he did. Finally, the men turned away Converse remarking, 'I guess every } thing is all right" This made Greer
 suspicious of the object of the visit
 and he asked, ''Who the hell are you 2 } "You must take us for Pinkerton de , tectives," one of the detectives was
 quoted as retorting, and to this Greer was said to have answered that he dif
 not "care a damn" who they were, ane }, that if he were net sick he would
 "kick their brooches off MT. NiXo1 } said the detectives left town that af telnoon. Converse Geglecting to pay
 his bill at the Jefferson hotel, and tha7 the bill was not paid until about two weeks ago. Later that afternoon, thu : attorney said, Converse met mar named Bowles, who he invited into ;; resturant, and there asked him t. , watch out for Green, saying the con stable was mad as hell' with Con verse and Hargrove.
 As to the telephone message liar grove is alleged to have said Con verse received from Reidinger at tho
 Jefefrscn hotel, the attorney said mer from the hotel would testify that nc l such message went thru the exchange / The attorney declared that if Greer ) sent a negro to Monroe for whiskey , as charged, and remained with thu : whiskey after the negro had wreck } ed the car, giving the black his owl good automobile to come to Pine Bluff, the accused ought to be ac i quilted on the ground of insanity, bu l he didn't believe anyone would thinl l Green isn't sane, yet no one but al 9 insane person would act in the manne Q alleged.
 r Again referring to Wiley Good, tn
 attorney asserted he had been tole
 that Good was "all but offered immun s ity'' before he was convicted and sen d fenced for selling liquor if he ccul1 n furnish proof that he had paid Greer = for protection, thru Feinbe~g or oth ,. CTS.
 : Concerning the money Reidinge u and Green are alleged to have handle t n1917, the attorney said Reidinge d had saved up while logging; tha s Reidinger dosen't rely on his sala1 n as deputy constable, but is alway
 trading and making investments; tha d he frequently loans money, receivin. o it back in few days, and thus hi n bank account shows as large one The same explanation was made 0 n Greens bank account. He said Gree Q would show cancelled checks indicat d ing how his money has been handled t that Green loves to make show, an 2 frequently would draw $500 from tn bank "just to flash it" but if he wa r. called out to make raid he would de q posit the money, not desiring to hay e such a sum with him. He said Gree y thus might appear to have $1 300 whe Q h, really only had $500. Then, to-
 the constable wasn't adverse to max > ing an election bet, and had won $36 't from one of the attorneys on the las $ county judges race, an amount that e more than the lawyer will get out c U this case"
 That Green had sent more men "up
 fol. bootlegging than all other official o together was again declared by th t attorney, who said this itself tende : to disprcve that Green provided pro
