Senator Truman H. Newberry's cor respondence regarding the gold star club, organized by Thomas O'Brien, ex-ambassador to Japan, and other citizens of Grand Rapids, were intro duced as evidence today in the trial of the senator and 122 others on charges of conspiracy in the 1918 election. In addition there was a telegram from Frederick P. Smith, manager of 'the Newberry estate in Detroit, to Commander Newberry In New York regarding election expense, and another of the defendants was quoted as saying before the general election: "We are going to get ft real barrel this time." The letters which mentioned Am baysador O'Brien were introduced while Claude T. Hamilton, chairman of the Kent county republican com mittee, was on the stand. The de fense tried vainly to exclude them because they were written In Sep tember, 1919, more than a year after the election. Budget Kirrsa Menloae4. The first letter mailed to Wash ington by Hamilton September 13, 1919, said that the county committee's budget had been exceeded in the cam paign of the year before and that Hamilton "had to put up lor tne ae ficit" It continued, in part: "We formed the gold star club, sending out a letter to each soldier's family In the county. This letter was signed by members who had lost sons or rel atives In the war. It had a tremen dous Influence and was exclusively for the senatorial campaign. The cost was J330, and I would be very glad if you would see that this was re funded." The letter said that "Ambassador O'Brien, svho is now in Washington, was familiar with this matter, in fact. he served on the sub-committee which put this over." Newberry's Reply Cited. Senator Newberry replied five days later: "It seems "that I should not con tribute ... as I subscribed to the state central committee all that the law allows." He added that he would consult Ambassador O'Brien "and see if some friend can be found" to help. The correspondence indicated that the sen ator and the ambassador did not meet and Hamilton wrote: "I understand the circumstances and if you wish to make a contribution of $350 to the Kent county republican committee I would be very glad to have you do so." A few days later Hamilton said he received from Detroit a check for S350 signed) by tt5e Newberry estate. "Did you reimburse yourself for the 1350?" asked Mr. Dailey. "No sir, I put up for a deficit which mounted altogether to SuOO. "What did you do with the check?" "I cashed it. "Where did the money go!" "To me." ' Signature Not Recalled. On cross-examination Hamilton could not remember that the check was signed by "Frederick P. Smith, attorney In fact." He denied the Toucher which he receipted as chairman of the county committee. The Smith-Newberry telegram was dated August S, 1918, and read: "Misinformed you this morning the oat e oi close oi regular expenses. Should have said August 27. Circu lar work, advertising, clerical help, postage and all regular overhead ex pense will naturally continue until primary. Have written." Leo A. Barry of Baraga, formerly of Kallspell, Mont, and several places in British Columbia and the Pacific northwest, drew the longest fire of the defense with his "barrel" testi mony. He ascribed the remark to James F. McGreggor, a Newberry lield agent in northern Michigan. McGreggor said Barry walked into the office of a hotel in Munising some time after the Newberry committee had reported expenditures of $176,000 In the primary campaign and said to George Harding: "George, I am going down to New Tork tonight to see the commodore, "Well, Jim," replied Harding, ac cording to the witness, "get more than $176,000." "Oh, we are going to ret a barrel this time," was Barry's version of McGreggor's reply. WO SHOW IS READY EXHIBIT AT AI.BAXY OPEXS THCKSDAV, ENDS SATURDAY.
