this afternoon Indicated that Smith
hoped to prove that McMichaela is re

i McMtchaels admitted ha Is receiving
$7S weekly from the New York papers
originally publishing Mulhall's story.
He asserted however, that these pay
ments covered articles he expected to
write on the subject Of "Twenty Tears
In the House." Smith developed several
contradictions In McMichaela' testimony
concerning dates, but the latter was un
ruffled, saying these were "more slip
of memory.'
fc Other Members Involved.
Resuming his testimony before the
lobby Investigators, McMichaela hinted
that, to his knowledge other members of
the bouse were friendly with Martin M.
Mulhall, former lobbyist for the Na

Michaels was not pressed further along
thla line.

"Tou say you persuaded Mulhall,"
asked counsel of McMichaela, "to writs
the N. A. M. without McDermott's
knowledge, asking them to support Mc
Dermott" -
"Yes." answered McMichaela. "It was
la March I believe, In 1912, that Mc
Dermott, Mulhall and myself met In a
private room at the capitol and ar
ranged for Mulhall to visit Chicago and
raise $4,000 from the N. A. M. to help
put in McDermott primaries,"
