to letter of his published in The
Bismarck Tribune Of April II, 1918.
Sullivan hesitated to recognize the
letter until he had read it through.
It was quite a long letter, and the
court grew impatient before it was
finished, and insisted upon an an
swer. The witness admitted that in
substance, at least it was letter
which he had written for publication
in The Tribune.
Witness on cross examination
acknowledged no hostile feeling
against Brinton at the time the
letter was written. He denied try
ing to find a. back way out" during
the meeting; denied having ac-
cepted S. for the part he played in
the Garrison meeting, prior to taking
the platform; admitted that he had
been active in securing witnesses for
the government, but said he had re-
ceived no remuneration for his SER
vices and that he acted only in the
capacity Of g. loyal citizen.
On redirect examination, Sullivan
testified that Brinton had stated that
the league had one man in congress,
John M. Baer. and that it soon
would have number Of others, but
that the rest were a bunch Of
skunks." He said that Brinton re-
ferred to Kaiser Wilhelm as the goat
in speaking Of the steel trust profits
and Of the necessity for robbing
babies banks in order that these
profits might be realized. Brinton
urged, said the Witness not so much
attention to Kaiser Wilhelm that
necessary economic reforms would
be lost sight Of. He heard Brinton
praise the President, said the wit
ness, but he was apparently in doubt
as to whether the Consumers Store
manager referred to Wilson or to
Townley.
