Emmitt Warning had ever told
him that any of this money was
used in paying alleged police pro-

Swain replied that he had never
been told what the money was
used for.

any evidence Of police graft in the
case be uncovered.
Quoting from exhibits, Swain
showed that on January 4, 1885,
Warning, total in the hit"
column of his green ink ledger,
was $8,110.5O. The count, accord
ing to Tax Consultant Sadur, for
this day should have been So
179.35. Within a dime, Swain
said, the Government agreed with
the latter total.
Sadur's office also could be
guilty Of error. Swain showed
when he quoted Warnings total in
the met play" column on Janu-
airy s as $5,347.30, as against
Sadur's count Of $5,258.2O.

/ OF NORTHERN SENATOR'S

Washington, Jan. 27-When
Senator Allen J. Ellender, of Louis
lana, concluded his six-day speech
against tie federal anti-lynching
LII here yesterday, a notable
change had taken place in the at
titude of some of the supporters
If the bill.
Many northern and western
senator's and many southern ones,
also, did not hear the Ellender
bloody shirt arguments on inter
marriages because they absented
Inns Ives from the Senate cham
Der; but several times during the
week it was svident that the breas5
beating and the obviously absurd
statements of Ellender were arous-
ing the ire of northern and west
ern senator's so that many who
heretofore had intended only to
vote for the bill are now actively
working for it and probably will
make speeches for it next week.
