Admission by Mel Heard, editor of the Labor Dispatch and Secre- tary of the Alaska Mine Workers Union, that he wrote 1the editorial in that paper appearing under date of June Il which Mayor Isadore Goldstein charges libeled him was the highlight of the criminal libel trial of Heard this morning before Commissioner J. F, Mullen.
 The labor leader said he wrote the article after hearing 1t from several sources and Immediately this line of questioning brought a clash between Prosecutor George w. Folta and Senator Henry Roden over the admissibility of testimony based on rumor and gossip. The prosecution held it was not ad- missible and finally won his point but only after Heard had been allowed to testify that he got the information as rumor and several other defense witnesses had been called to testify that they heard the same thing on the street. Com missioner Mullen ruled after var ious witnesses had appeared that all their testimony be stricken and the jury disregard it.
 Evans First Witness
 The situation left the case at noon when court recessed until ? o'clock with virtually nothing ad- mitted but the testimony of Heard that he wrote the article, Mayor Goldstein's testimony that he had received a copy of the paper and brought the action on grounds that it defamed his character and the testimony of E. s. Evans, Manager of the Alaska Press, that the Labor Dispatch was printed in his shop and that he had distributed the paper from his place of business to a list furnished him. N
 Evans was the first witness call ed by the defense and when asked by Senator Roden where the items printed in the Dispatch came from he said from Heard"
 Who did the editorial come from?" Roden asked.
 From Heard" Evans replied.
 Suggested Deleticn
 Asked if there had been any con- versation between himself and Heard relative to the article Evans said he suggested that parts of it be deleted but he could not say if they had been. He said he did not see the revised copy of the editorial
 Asked If he had insisted on parts of the editorial being deleted Evans said he had not but that he suggested it.
 Under cross examination Evans identified the paper and in reply to question from Prosecutor Fol ta on how many subscribers there were, he said the mailing list car ried approximately 1000 names.
 Thought Gossip True
 Heard followed Evans on the stand and after admitting he wrote the article in question. he was asked by Roden "on what grounds did you base this statement?," re- ferring to the passage in the edi- torial which recited a rumor that the Mayor was to get $25 for each vote delivered at the special cleo ton up to 300 and $50 vote for any number over that
