He testified for an hour and a half

In that time, however, he testified
regarding many pointa that were
cited against him by the Government
as connecting him with alleged con

Mr. Menefee has been the principal
target of the Government in nearly all

He answered the question of his
attorney, .William. M. .Cake, with read

be perfectly sure of himself.
Misunderstanding Is Contended.
He frankly admitted the truth of
one bit of evidence put In by the Gov

complete misunderstanding.
This .was the fact, sworn to by
Hiram S. House, expert accountant for
the Government, that approximately

been sold after adoption of a resolu

It was quite true this stock had been

Mr. Menefee said that for some tim
