STORMY ENCOUNTERS
MARK SESSION.
The sessions today were marked with
several stormy encounters between Mr..
Inman and Francis.
The defense attempted to show By ques-
lions that Or. Edwin II. Katterhenry,
whose home Francis robbed, was a kind
Francis after the birth Of a child.
''Dr. KRtterhenry was your friend and
you robbed his bouse2" asked Inman.
NO friend of mine answered Francis.
And before Mr.. Inman could answer
question, Francis loudly declared, The
old gent bought whisky from me-"
After the shock Of the assertion died
away, Mr.. Inman said loudly, You mean
to say to the Jury that DR.. Katterhenry
bought whisky from you ?"
II certainly do answered Francis in
voice as loud as Mr.. Inman had used.
Although Mr.. Inman seemed able to
lessen the weight of some Of Francis
evidence against Hartman, yet It appears
that counsel is unable to prevent Francis
from emphasizing certain very intimate
relationships which Francis claims ex-
lsted between he and Hartman.
The cross examination Of Francis by
Mr.. Inman brought out the following
allegations:
That Jess Morgan, who Francis said
Is a professional automobile crook. slept
One might in Hartmans garage and that
Hartman knew he was there.
That Francis had two stolen cars in
the political parade before the primary
instead OF about three as he stated on
direct examination and that Hartman

entire parade
That there was no truth TO the state
ment that on Francis first VISIT to
Hartman's Office that he mistoOk At

SAYS HARTMAN NOT
PARTY TO WHISKY SALE.
Francis today denied that Hartman re-
ceivad any of the 800 from stolen whisky
which was sold by Francis in Dayton
Yesterday Francis testified that some Of
the money was used in the primary cam
paign of Hartman. Today he stated that
Hartman had nothing to do with the
selling Of the whisky IN Dayton. He in
sisted that some of the stolen whisky
was delivered to ITartmans home.
Francis denied his wife was a profess
sional dancer and 81 saxophone player.
Mr.. Inman succeeded in gaining some
ground concerning the way Francis
household goods were taken to Hart
mans home. Francis admitted that he
asked Hartman where he could store the
goods and also if Hartman had VI place
Mr.. Inman was able to bring out that
Hartman said the only place he had in
his house was his basement. Francis
stated Hartman arranged to have the
goods moved from Francis tat to Hart
mans home on Francis request Francis
stated that some of the goods moved to
Hartmans home were some which he
had stolen from DR.. Katterhenrys home
The defense gained some ground when
Francis admitted that he signed bill
of sale selling his household goods TO
Hartman for S10O with the exception Of
some indian rugs, fur coats, a saxo-
phone and the like.
The defense also introduced note
which Francis claimed he wrote and gave
Hartman. This is the note instructing
drs. Francis to give Hartman a dia-
Iond ring
The note is as follows:
