to Mr.. Stickney's questions. He said
no one had ever called his attention to
the above item. This item is divided
into $500 and 5000 accounts. He denied
that he himself had ever called atten
ton to the item.
Mr. Deayitt was recalled to the stand
and stated that he called the 81 100
item to Mr.. Gates attention the first
time he was in the office. The matter
was pressed and Mr.. Deavitt again
stated he had talked with Mr.. Gates
about the matter.
Mr.. Archibald then cross examined
Mr.. Deavitt at some length upon the
first time he had had the matter under
consideration with Mr.. Gates, covering
the summer Of 1918 in an effort to have
Mr. Deavitt state specific date, but
the witness would not without refer
ring to some records. Changing his at
titude, Mr.. Archibald then started on
his fishing trip that brought an abun
dance of information but little testi-
mony. He inquired if Mr.. Deavitt Wis
tied James b. Wilbur at Manchester,
which was replied to, in the affirmative.
Leaving this, Mr.. Archibald went again
to the Sll ,305.57 item, showing how
Mr.. Deavitt had arrived at that and
the different balances against Mr.. Ora
ham between 1908 and 1917.

Deayitt had presented this claim to the
committee on court and state expenses
in the legislature, but this Mr.. Deavitt
denied and later was able to explain.
The state rested its case at o'clock
Yesterday afternoon and Mr. Deavitt
took the stand for the defense. He
first testified about the item OF 81
S76.44, representing three bills he had
presented and were included in file 45Ol
which has been questioned at different
times. There was considerable argu-
ment as to the admission of this mat
ter, the state arguing at length, but
the court finally admitted it as tending
TO explain Mr. Graham's conduct. The
state did not think. it proper evidence.
An Attornc(b Dispute.
Mr. Barber broke into the remarks
of Mr.. Stickney and Mr.. Stickney stat
ed this was not prize ring, and that
he did not think the attitude OF the
states counsel dignified or courteous
Mr. Stickney appealed to the court to
be permitted to finish. Mr.. Barber
started to comment, but Mr.. Stickney
, continued because counsel Is stand
ing" ANY objectionsf" asked Mr.
Barber. "Yes," said Mr.. Stiekney, lit
is undignified and improper"
II prefer to stand, said Mr. Barber
Judge Butler smoothed out the affair
and Mr.. Stiekney continued to talk.
Mr. Barber remained standing, but in
few seconds moved to the county
clerks desk Later he came to the
table again and remained seated most
of the time when Mr.. Stickney was
talking.
Three of the vouchers in the file
450l were taken up. These were Mr.
Deavitt's personal expenses. One for
clerk hire in 1906 TO zoos, another for
the Fletcher mandamus of SSl4.33,
while the third was in connection with
his work as insurance commissioner, all
of which he claimed the state should
pay.
He then testified relative to the red
letter balance being shown on the books
after 1918, and how they were carried
forward.
He said that in May, 1918, he went
to Mr.. Gates for statement, and that
he asked for one on two occasions, that
Mr.. Joslyn was there when one of them
was prepared. and that Mr.. Gates hand
ed the statement to Mr. Deavitt. The
state inquired the reason for this evil
dence and if it was for impeachment
of Mr.. Gates testimony. The defense
admitted il was
He told how he and Mr.. Gates looked
over the books together and there was
no mention at any time OF anyone
thinking or suggesting any crime had
been committed up to Aug "a, 1918.
Mr.. Gates was recalled TO the stand
and Mr.. Stickney asked him if he and
Mr.. Gates had any talk about the ST.
100 item that had been under considera-
ton. Mr. Gates was sure that il was
never called specifically to his atten-
ton. that he and Mr. Deavitt had not
discussed it. Mr.. Gates offered some
information but Mr.. Stickney called
his attention to the fact that he was
the examiner and asked him to. reply

IN time to meet the checks he had
drawn TO pay bis men.
Those Approached in Graham's Behalf.
Attorney General Archibald, in a
cross examination Of Edward II. Deav-
lit, former state treasurer, yesterday
afternoon brought out the names Of
several persons who were approached
regarding the matter of furnishing the
money TO meet the obligations Of ex-
Gov. Graham to the state. The names
which Mr.. Deayitt mentioned were
James B. Wilbur of Manchester, Gov.
#. G. Smith of st. Adams, Frank G.
Partridge Of Proctor. Curtis $, Emery
Of Newport, James Hartness OF Spring
field and George l.. Durham Of Brattle-
boro.
Mr.. Deavitt testified he did not see
Mr.. Durham and Redfield Proctor of
Proctor, and that he did not attend a
conference held at the Hotel Vermont
in Burlington when Gov. Clement, Mr..
Gates, Mason s. Stone and w. T. Scott,
with some Others were present. lie
also suggested there were several other
men seen BY him but the attorney gen
eral did not pursue the inquiry further,
30 that the list was not complete. The
witness met H. G.. Barber on the way
TO Brattleboro and had some talk with
him. He could not recall what he said
TO any great extent but he said he
could tell the jury some of the things
that Mr.. Barber said about the matter.
One of the most important things
that occurred after the state rested
yesterday afternoon and the defense
commenced to present testimony, was
when W. b. c. Stiekney was able to
secure decision whereby evidence,
tending to explain some Of the items
over which there has been question was
admitted. It brought into prominence
the ruling made by Judge Butler Tues
day that person might do something
unlawful and yet not do it criminaly-
Defense Begins.
Mr. Deavitt was used as a witness to
impeach the testimony Of Benjamin
Gates. He told Of a different set of
figures than Mr.. Gates had testified
about. These were given him by Mr..
Gates, he said. after being compiled in
the Office and showed that Mr.. Graham
owed the state Sill ,l05.07. instead OF
the amount that the state used in pre-
senting its case.
Later Mr. Gates was recalled and
denied what Mr.. Gates had testified to,
concerning furnishing certain data con
nected with an item of LOO which
Mr.. Deavitt had explained they had
conversation about. Mr.. Deavitt also
gave evidence concerning $l,s76,24,
which represented accounts that Mr.
Dcavitt claimed the state owed him,
and which he explained in detail. These
included SsI4.33. which was expense in

The man, who grapples with the
burglar who faces him with loaded re-

there is no greater courage than that

of regaining health. There is no finer
victory than when such man over

SHARP REBOUND IN
STORAGE BATTERY
General improvement in the
Local List Reflected Bet
ter Feeling

While there was general recovery in
the local market all other movements
we're overshadowed by the spirited re-
bound Of points in Electric Storage
Battery to 104. The trading was un-
commonly active for this issue and dis
closed very scant supply of stock,
making it therefore very uncomfortable
for those who had gone short in the
recent forced liquidation of speculative
accounts. Only part of the recovery
was lost. There was also striking
rally in Lake Superior Corporation,
elevating that stock TO 0 against 79s on
Saturday.
The better feeling pervading market
circles, however, found reflection In a
general improvement, not only in tone
of the market, but also in substantial
advance In prices. Gains in the other
local shares ranged from small frac.
tiOns to over a point.
American Stores and United Gas I'm
provement were under some pressure at
the outset on belated selling orders, but
both regained most OF the lost ground.
On the other hand, there was a striking
recovery In the leading railroad shares
and some of the miscellaneous shares.
Philadelphia Traction featured the
utility group in jump of ~ points on
q few transactions.
