' Helms Contradicts Himself. John Helms, the detective called to the stand . yesterday as a witness for the prosecution, submitted to cross-examination earlier In the day and reviewed many f the charges he had preferred .against Patrick Calhoun and W. M. Abbott, by whom he Is - alleged to have been em ployed In a confidential capacity. He had closed his testimony yesterday with a declaration that he resigned from the eervlce of the United Railroads In August, 3908. ' Today he added to the complica tions attending his allegiance by affirming that he entered the employ of -William J. Burns and the prosecution In November. 1908, and that he drew pay from both sides from November until the following February by virtue of fresh employment sriven him by Mr. Abbott, who knew nothing of his employment 'by ilr. Bums. Expenses of Prosecution. The financial statement presented by Mr. Spreckels was divided into four ac counts entitled "W. J. Bums." with a total of 1123,260; "F. J. Heney." with a total of S23.82S; "C. W. Cobb." with a total of $10,000, and "Sundry." with a total of J66.295. The allegations put In evidence are as follows: "That the salary - paid "W. " J.

Tries to Head Orf Helms. The cross-examination of Helms waa completed during the day, Mr. Rogers at tacking all the vital portions of his tes timony, particularly those relating to his conversations with Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Abbott. Mr.' Heney Drought Into the record the names of several men who are alleged to have Interviewed Helms before his arrival In this city to testify, and the prosecution admitted that wit nesses would be called In an attempt to show that several attempts were made to prevent Helms from telling what he knew. . . . When Helms resumed the stand - to day he testified that he paid E. A. Piatt. an employe or Burns, whom he secretly, hired. n!s money In saloons, riatt. he said, was known to Abbott and himself as "No. 22." He said the United Railroads paid him $10 a day and heavy expenses, in cluding the hire of an automobile. Helms testified that William M. Abbott told him that the prosecution was try ing to get Piatt to go before the irrand Jury and that he wanted him t Helms) to Induce Piatt to sign an affidavit to the effect that he (Piatt) had ceased to work, for the United Railroads before the office of Burns became officially attached to the Dis trict Attorney's ofTlce. Piatt, said the witness, signed the af fidavit and later, after leaving town through fear of being, called before the grand Jury, he signed a second one, the wording of which was more satisfactory to Abbott. Not Expert Motor-CjclUt. in reply to questions by Karl Rogers, ot the defense. Helms stated that he had been a detective for six years and a Upited States secret service operative for two years before he ,went to work fir the United Railroads.' "Were you not a motor-cycle . rider when Mr. Calhoun spoke to you about employing motor cycles or -automobiles to carry on this work?" asked Mr. Rog ers. ."I was not." said the witness. "1 rode one of the machines but once, and then I broke my head." :"You would expect a man of MT. Burns' rersptcacity and extraordinary powers of observation to notice such machines, would you not 7" "Tou will have to ask Mr. Buma about that." said the witness. "Don't you . recall that the day you were employed to engage motor cycles was the very day that Boxton testified he had been Instructed by Bums to per jure himselfT" . - Heney objected to this question and It-was not answered.- "Did you tell Mr. Abbott that Burns had once put counterfeit money In the pocket of a man he. wanted to get?" asked Rogers. "I did not." replied 1he witness. "Did Mr. Abbott tell you Mr. Bums had men in the employ of the United Railroads?" "He did not. bnt I knew it. I also knew that the United Railroads had men in the Burns office." "lmi was asked if he had ever seen Mr. Spreckels then took the stand and handed Mr. Rogers a statement of expen ditures made by him in aid of the prose cution. STx. Heney offered to produce the employe who prepared the account and offered to allow It to be compared with Mr. Spreckels' books If It was aree that the name of other subscrib ers he kept secret. During the cross-examination Mr. Rog ers complained that Mr. Heney hA said to him in an undertone, as he passed the prosecution's table: "You'll get what's coming to you." Judge -.Laalor sharply reprimanded Mr. Heney. Mr. Spreckels testified that $10.00) of a separate Item paid to Mr. Runu was for the purpose of Insuring the support of the special agent's family In the event of Mr. Bums being killed. He said $7500 more went to Golden M. Roy. who greatly assisted The prosecution tn trapping the Supervisors. NEGROES ARESUuPECTED IaOS AVGEI.ES GIRI BRCTAI.LY MlltDKRED IX BUSHES.
