Congress BY Margin

PORTLAND, Maine, Nov. 30.-(P)
Election of Arthur r. Gould. re-

sures republican control of the new
United States Senate.
The lineup will be republicans
46: democrats al; farmer-labor i.
Maine voters apparently were not
greatly worried over the matter, as
only two-thirds of those who cast
their ballots in the state election in
September turned OUT to vote yester-
day.
Gould's margin of victory over
Fulton j. Redman, democrat, was
about $4,000. With "a precincts miss
ing, representing small and remote
towns, the vote was:
Gould 1852; Redman 81, $50.
The special election was occasioned
by the death of Senator Bert NJ.
Fernald, who was reelected in 1924.
Redman, the democratic nominee in
that year also. was defeated by a
.majority of 81 1856. Gould's term will
expire in 1881.
As soon as the result of the cleo
tion was known, Redman reverted to
the issue which had caused great ex-
citement in the campaign by assert
ing that he would press at Washing
ton charges that Gould had spent an
amount largely in excess of the legal
limit obtaining his nomination.

ing member of the Ku Klux Klan
and supported by Gov. o. Brewster.

introduced by the state to testi-
fv rs to the reputation of Mrs. Jane
Gibson for truth and veracity. a
witness created a mild sencation in
court during the trial of the Hall
Mills case today by saying that il
was "not so good"
The defense had offered a dozen
witnesses to say that Mrs. Gibson, re-
garded as the star witness for the
prosecution bore a reputation for
truthfulness in the community where
she lived and special Prosecutor
Alexander Simpson announced that
he would offer character witnesses
for Mrs. Gibson in rebuttal.
DR.. Walter Madden Of Trenton,
first character witness called. was
not permitted to testify when il was
developed that he has not known Mrs.
Gibson for twelve years.
Another physician, DR.. J. Fl. Coo2-
er of Milestone, then furnished the
surprising testimony from states
witness.
The crowd in the courtroom
seemed bored as hand writing e.
pert testified as to penciled entries
in Henry Stevens 1922 diary. There
was no great interest when the
prosecutor asked DR.. Cooper the
sterotyped question:
"What is her reputation for truth
and veracity, good or bad"
The crowd sat up when DR.. Cooper
replied: "No so good"
Later the witness said, in reply tc
question from the states lawyer
that her reputation was "about fifty.

ment yesterday that when the evil

that a letter had been written in
which the conduct of the jury was
