Senator GaIlinger, the Republican

hoped this would be the last the Sen

he held the same hope.
The selection OF Senator PoindeEter
as the vehicle for getting the Roose-

members OF the Senate. II was re-
called that PoindeXter had been q
most vigorous advocate Of all the

OF the Postmaster General. Poindex

all OF these measures which were SO
bitterly assailed by Roosevelt, but he
drafted amendments to the espionage
act which were even more drastic
than those proposed by 3Ir. Burleson.

Quoted FrOa Letter.

Prosecutor George e Wise quoted
from one OF the letters addressed to
Miss ollie White. Johnson's sweet
heart in MiddlsseK. whom he said he
had called sweetheart for eight
years" 1t said to-day is one day that
has taken all the oy out Of my life"
He asked johnson what II meant
The defendant said he could not re-
member what gave rise 70 the state
ment
'Tf do not come By Thursday, you
might know something has happened" J."
Wise read from the letter. He asked
the alleged wifs-slayer what he
meant by that
ct can't remember" was the young
dentists answer. with his head bow
ed. and in a soft voice, almost q
whisper, johnson told the jury. when
asked why he had not told Ollls White
OF his marriage to the Richmond girl,
that IL had been FASTENED by her
physical condition. He said ne alone
was responsible for her condition.
"If Miss White had asked me about
the marriage, I should have felt oblig-
ed TO tell the whole truth" he said
Asked why he wrote Miss White Just
before he swallowed poison in Wilson
that he loved her even more than he
did his mother, he said: There are
many kinds OF love"
He admitted that he blundered in
not telling Miss White OF the mar
rIage, but said after the unexpected
AFFAIR in Richmond on September IS
he could not tell her because II would
be a reflection on his wife
johnson will probably be the last
witness for the defense. The cross
examination will consume part OF
Monday. after which rebuttaI wit
Rssses will be called by the common
wealth. The case has already con-
sumed ten days, and II Is probable II
will not 90 to the Jury before
