 Phillips stands Pat. Phillips. former leaguo collector, thundered "No." when asked hy de fensc counsel if he desired to change his testimony of yesterday regarding the splitting of commissions with the league head.
 Former Governor Charles $. Whit man, chief of counsel for Anderson, who during cross~eXamination of Phillips yesterday, accused him of having been implicated in the steal ing" of war secrets for gain and of having tried to "sell out" the league to various anti prohibition organiza- tions, resumed his cross-fire attack on the witness today,
 Lawyers Clash,
 During the grilling there were nu- merous verbal clashes between Whit man and Assistant District Attorney Pecora, the prosecutor, over remarks Whitman made about the witness. These remarks were not audible 10 tho curious crowd in tho courtroom. Mir. pecora reminded the defense at- torncy that they were trying a case in supreme court and Whitman re- torted that the prosecutor was mak- ing it police court
 Mir. Whitman exhibited a bundle of cancelled cheeks and asked the wit ness to identify them, which he did. The checks then were added and shown to total sis,soo. Phillips pre-. viously had said he received only si4,4o0 for the period the checks covered and Whitman attempted to draw the admission that the witness had made an incorrect statement, fin that he had received all the money and had not split" any amount with Anderson.
 Phillips admitted that tho checks showed that he had received siS.So0 ! but stuck to the assertion that he had : not been permitted to keep all tho ! money.
 Got Only s1I,iO0.
 Phillips decalred that si4,ioo Hss all he actually got and denied that he . was afraid to admit he got more be- l cause Of being prosecuted by the gov. arnment for cheating" on income .ax.
 Mr. Pecora then began questioning he witness and cleared some Of the iccusations that Mr. Whitman had made against him yesterday ln regard O the "stealinE" of war secrets MT. pecora brought out that in 1916, hc- ore America's entrance into the war.

 Claims Corruption.
