favoring Mitchell nt tho beginning of

It is genorally considered that tho gov
ernment caso has been weakened by
tho Tannor cross-examination Saturday,
Tanner, on redirect examination, was
risked by Ilcnoy if tho firm did not ro
coivo n feo of 1500 a month from ono
client. Tho court considered tho ques
tion too remote-. Several witnesses for
tho government dovelopcd nothing in
teresting. Harry Robertson, Senator Mitchell's
prlvnto secretary, testified to his ap
pearanco before tho grand jury. On re
turning to Washington Mitchell accusod
tho witness and Tannor of conspiring to
ruin him. Mitchell told him, "Harry,
you hadn't ought to prosccuto me, you
know all I over got was somo little
checks."
Tho witness was very bitter against
Mitchell, nnd his testimony produced
n sensation. Thurston cross-examined
Robertson. Ho snid: "I worked for
