Gummer's nervousness was very
evident this afternoon as the time
when he expected ITO go on the witt
ness stand drew near. He frequently
swallowed. moistened his lips, s. Sand
glanced anxiously at the clerk.
Brown on the other hand, appeared
very much more self-possessed than
he has been on either of the other
occasions he has appeared on the wit
ness stand. He told his story iclealt
ly and with no apparent hesitation. \
