z @Aknew of no specific deals, knew "just < generally" but added: ',s "They had plenty of liquor at their ? sdisposal" Smith, she said, Drought large quantities of it" to Washington Court s,shouse for his own use; that in fact = paugherty had been with Smith when { he arrived with suitcases full of it and that Smith had given some to the Attorney General, to herself and tc other friends.
 "Why, he brought it in a case larger than this table, said the witness pointing to a small table before which she was seated.
 a4 :. "Just a weekend supply" obserytd Senator Moses.
 What SlSith had told her about whisky, Miss Stinson said, related to s~the withdrawal of whisky from ware. houses on federal permits, but her in formation had not been very definite.
 ''No," said she, reflecting, T don't remember of there being anything said V about money for the permits"
 The withdrawals were during the first days of the administration land they got afraid of it.' She added: He told me so."
 Then the witness was led off into a line of testimony the meaning of which was not openly developed in full, but the general effect of which was obvious ly intended to indicate some attempt to get certain evidence out of her posses sion or to prevent her testimony before the committee if possible.
 It ranged around a blind" stock brokers account, which she said Smith had opened for her with the brokerage house of Samuel Ungerleider to the ex- tent of some $11,000 and which was mysterious William R. A. Hayes &C., count No. 3, heretofore referred to in the testimony.
 Couldn't Get Money
 Miss Stinson brought a suit to get the money, but was beaten. She en- gagged an attorney, she said, Smith Bennett who. she said, was an asso- ciate of F. Wolfe, an Ohio newspaper publisher and long time opponent of Attorney General Daugherty in Ohio politics.
 Bennett. she said, refused to go on with her case unless she told him what she knew about the Washington situ- ation.'
 He was trying to strong-arm me" ;" she said.
 M. S. Daugherty, the Attorney Gen erals brother, she said, had told her to recover her papers from Bennett after she told him that they contained references ''to Washington" Daugh- erty's brother, she said, helped her get another lawyer, and Bennett presented bill for $536. Daugherty advised her to draw a check on his bank, the Mid land National, for the amount, and she reminded him that she already owed the bank over $7,000 and had only a little more than $1 on deposit there.
 But M. s. Daugherty told her, she said, to go ahead and issue the check and he would not run it through the bank" Soon after NJ. S. Daugherty went to Florida, she said, and the of- ficials of his bank would not return the check to her, but she testified she presumed it had ben taken care of. /" Suspecting Daugherty of frame up" in advising her to draw the check, Miss Stinson testified she asked Bennett's advice and he told her to go ahead.
 Elaborate Establishment
 After testifying of a trip she made to Panama on United Fruit liner "as a guest" without expense, arranged through Smiths Influence in Wash ington," and disclosing that Smith for more than a year, although not an em- ploye of the department of justice, trav- eled about on government transporta- tion orders, Miss Stinson referred to the ''expensive establishment" Smith and the Attorney General maintained in Washington. Tn running expenses, she said Smith told her, were more than "$50O00 a year."
 'They were interested in things jointly" she said, land he thought he could pay his part from the remunera- tions.'
 At another juncture the witness ex- claimed:
 II admit that Jess Smith received money. I don't go on what the news papers say-it's a fact"
 From Oil To Shirts
 Transactions in stocks, which Miss Stinson related today. under question: ing by Senator Wheeler, related to Pa cific Oil. Sinclair Oil and Manhattan Shirt She thought there were 200 shares of Pacific and 300 of Sinclair, and although she didn't know how Smith got them. she denied he told her they had been given to him. However, they were deposited with his bankers and then suddenly taken away, she dldn know why.
 As usual, the days session was not without an exchange of fireworks be- tween Senator Ashurst, Senator Wheel CT and Paul Rowland of Attorney Gen eraI Daugherty's counsel. MT. Rowland wanted to know about what witnesses the committee was calling, and Senator Wheeler told him it was none of his business. Senator Ashurst told Mir. Rowland he couldn't run any bluff here" and that "the defense might as well learn now that it is not running the committed"
 Means Is Called
 Finally at the conclusion of the two hours session. the committee had an executive meeting and adjourned to re- sume at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Meanwhile it was announced that sub poenas had been issued for Gaston B. Means, former department of justice agent, and Thomas B. Fielder, an At lanta attorney, who was engaged with Attorney General Daugherty in the proceedings for securing a pardon for Charles w. Morse, the banker and shipbuilder, years ago.
 Means and Fielder both are under bribery indictments. Attorney General Daungherty had requested that they be not called as certain questions of inn munity might be raised. The committee, however, decided to waive the request but not to go into questions with them which might involve the present indict- ments. Means is expected to q ques- tioned tomorrow in case private papers with which Miss Stinson expects to support her testimony do not arrive in time from Ohio.
 Felder's name was brought into the case in Miss Stinson's testimony to- day when she was asked if she had Loo.d of Snnith,s hnvinn had I.daalsn
