To- te etasAtAae Of $6a.5 800 in 1928.
AS Mr.. Jameson left the wit
ness stand in District Supreme
Court when he had appeared as a
Government witness in the trial
of the bishop and Miss Ada Bur-
roughs on charges of violation of
the corrupt practices act, the
Bishop glanced at him, then
turned his head away.
Did Not Speak
Mr.. Jameson walked over. shook
hands with M. FJFulton, attorney
for Miss Burroughs, and chatted
with him for a moment.
Although he was standing onlS
a foot or two away from the
bishop, the cleric made no motion
to turn and speak to the man he
had begged to support the 1928
campaign, which led to the pres
ent trial.
Mr.. Jameson yesterday related
how he was approached by the
bishop, and how he gave the
money.
Today, he resumed the stand
for a few minutes, and testified
concerning the Senate investiga-
ton of the campaign. There was
little cross-examination by defense
attorneys.

"It is a fact that the Gov

"What the Government is

value, while it may be helpful

II would like to point out
that few, if any, of the persons
who will eventually move into

for a long time. Many were
on relief, or they would not
have been given the opportunity.
II hardly think it will be
