Kelley, meanwhile. revealed that
ne had subpoenaed ]. E. Elgin Of
San Antonio to take the place Of
Congressman Harry III. Wurzbach as
q defense witness. Wurzbach wired
from Washington that he could not
come here but that Elgin probably
could give any testimony that he
could. That testimony, Kelley said,
would be In exposition OF his con-
tention that Creager not only had
laid down" on mis- fellow party
members locally, but had refused to
support Wurzbach when the latter
was the only Texas republican with
an inside chance for election to con-
gress.
Yesterdays testimony OF those
who swore that Il was generally
understood Creager and Baker were
politically allied included that OF
Charlie Fordson, district clerk In
the Baker administration. who said
with a grin that he understood
Baker had Creager support.
Mostly, 1t was a day OF harsh ac-
cusations against Baker and the
committeeman, one man insisting
that the Good Government League
was trying to turn out Of bunch
Of thieves"
After Judge Estes had announced
that he thought Golfers need con-
Germ itself only with the commit
teen1an's connection with the ar
ticle, Kelley arose to insist that in
that event the jury must be in
structed that In It's deliberations II
must proceed on the basis that the
allegations as affecting the demo-
cratic administration were true.
Jack Berry. q big Edinburg fruit
grower who looked indignant when
Bakers faction vas mentioned. was
quite testy on cross examination by
y. A. Graham for the plaintiff.
Identifying himself as an indie
pendent. he said, In response to
one OF Graham's questions. We've
been trying TO get a bunch Of thieves
out up there"
"In other words" Graham said
loudly, your idea is that everybody
In office up there is a thief?"
"Self-confeSsed and proved be-
yond doubt" said the witness, COM
pressing his lips and looking about.
Who has confessed it?"
We'll, they haven't denied It,"
Just the same. every time your
