fusion reached it's climax here and
Judge Sparks again pounded for Isl
lence.
Gentlemen, won't have this,
if you want to continue i'm this
case direct your conversation to
the court, If not, someone else can
handle it. Such performances are
undignlfled and beneath both of
you" Sparks said sternly.
The tumult and the shouting
promptly died.
Clawson Called
DIR. Chester l.. Clawson, Co
lumbus chirOpractOr whom AiIstock
said was present at the con-
versation with Madge and Steph-
ensOn, was next on the stand.
Just before Ailstock was excused
Kane asked him who first came to
see him about the conversation.
Some gentleman representing Mr..
Holmes" Ira NJ. Holmes is a defense
attorney.
when was that?" asked Kane.
Three or four months ago"
And you went over the whole
story with him?"
mot entirely"
And when did you tell all OF this
for the first timer"
At Holmes Office
ITO Mr.. Holmes a week ago in
his office. I was called there by
long distance phone. I talked TO
Mr.. Holmes about twenty minutes"
WAS anybody else present"
'Dr. Clawson."
THAT is you. DIR. Clawson and
Mr.. Holmes got together in Mr..
Holmes office and talked this case
over?"
The witness did not reply to suit
Kane.
81 insist on an answer" thun-
dered Kane, pouRGng the table
with his fist and gIaring wildly at
the witness.
Yes"
How much did they agree to pay
your" shouted Kane.
mot a thing, not one dime."N
DR.. Clawson said he has been
acquainted with Stephenson about
three years.
Are you acquainted with Madge
Oberholtzer?"
Yes, I met her at Columbus some
time in January this year"
1--WE were standing at the corner
of Fifth and Washington SITS. and
a machine drew up to the curb. A
man called out How are you
DOc?' and it was Stephenson and
Miss OberhOltzer was with him."
"Well l talked to Miss Ober-
hOltZer most of the time and we
talked about a little bit of every
thing. Then she asked me If It
was a very live town, and / told
it was about the general rum"
"She asked. Can you get hold OF
good1iquor or booze down here?' and
told her there were several places"
Continuing Claws0n said, "She
asked me why couldn't get some
alcohol, and / told her Doc All
stock was a dentist and that nc
Ought to get it, thinking TO turn
the joke on Doc"
ClaWson said Stephenson remon-
strated when she persisted in hav-
ing Clawson procure some alcohol,
and that Stephenson said: That's
enough of that"
Cross Examination
On REORGANIZATION, Remy drew
from Clawson the statement that
he first met Stephenson at a meet
ing on College Ave-, Indianapolis
and that during the 1925 Logisla-
ture, he saw Stephenson on an aver
age Of once a week. He said Steph-
enson was helping him on bill to
license chiropractors. This measure
failed in the Legislature.
Remy subjected Clawson to severe
memory test, finding it accurate on
the Observation-Disclosures auto
mobile trip to Columbus. but rather
hazy on subsequent occurrences.
"You have a sort Of moonshine
memory, haven't you Doctor?"
Remy asked him.
Judge Sparks sustained an out
cry Of objections from the defense
table. In general. Clawson's story
of the incident tailed with that
of DIR. Ailstock.
DESPITE the defense's failure Fri
day to inject the testimony of Mrs.
Cora H. Householder, $3.50 Beech
wood Ave, Irvington, it is believed
another effort will be made later. In
excluding her testimony Friday
Judge Sparks indicated that the de-
Tense could find a different means
of including this testimony.
She said she had been married
twenty years, that her husband,
from whom she separated Christmas
day, 1924, Charles Householder, was
a former city fireman, and that she
had known Madge Oberholtzer for
the past eighteen years. She said
she lived three blocks from the
home.
Mrs. Householder sail that her
husband was well acquainted with
Madge, and that he lived at the
home at one time.
State attorneys objected to part
of her testimony. The jury was
