In May, 1920, the witness said, he,
with a representative of the assocla-
ton called on Ernest c. Morse. for
mer director of sales OF the war De
partment, and one of the accused
Morse explained about the shortage

A conference for later cate was
arranged but Morse was OUT OF tne

Sidered in detail.

On cross-examination by Attor uey
Frank 7. Hogan, the witness was

iected to it's introduction in evidences

dence the salient points OF the letter
by incorporating them into his ques-
tions to the witness.

munication that Sis was good price

and that there appeared to be moth
ing wrong in the transaction, ana
that Morse had acted under instruc-
tions from legal advice and from
facts related to Morse. The govern
