Thomas . 'Callagh'an, Spe
' cial Agent, Introduces
His Testimony
, . . . TACOMA, . Wash . Oct. 3.
Major Alexander P. Cronkhite was
accidentally slain by , Sergeant
Bugler Roland R. Pothier. and
Captain Robert Rosenbluth had no
connection with, the killing is the
opinion of Thomas J. Callaghah,
special agent in charge of the
Providence, R. I., office of the
bureau, of . investigation, depart
ment., of justice, during cross
examination in federal court this
afternoon. '.
..This testimony came as the dra
matic conclusion of a day in which
a score - of. conflicting statements
and confessions of Pothier .con
cerning, the death of Major Cronk
hite, had been Introduced in, evi
dence., by ; James -W. - Osborne of
New York, assistant to the. United
States . attorney . general, who is
prosecuting pothier, for the gov
ernment on a charge of murder
ing Cronkhite. ,
; Rosenbluth Tried Later
, y Rosenbluth is also accused of
complicity In the, murder and his
trial has been set for later this
month. f j . . .- ,
Calaghan took the three con
fessions of Pothier, which were
introduced yesterday, l as having
been made, between the time of
his arrest about March 17, 1921,
in Rhode Island, and March. 25 of
the same year while under, arrest
for alleged connection with the
major's death. .; ; .. . i
Callafchan'a statement declaring
that in his opinion Rosenbluth ban
not engineered . the : killing . of
Cronkhite and that his death wits
accidental . came , dnrtng i , cross
examination of Maurice A. Lang
horne. . : . .
. The Special agent had been
rigidly questioned by both prose
cution, and defense regarding the
details of! the confession and the
circumstances of their taking.
They showed Pothier as Admitting
first that he had accidentally shot
the major, secondly that he had
deliberately shot, him on the or
der of Captain Rosenbluth and
third that he and Rosenbluth had
arranged the killing several days
in advance.
Makes Mental Plea
The defense : maintains j that
Pothier is subnormal mentally and
that the confessions were the re
sult of suggestions planted In his
mind by the officers who cross
examined him after his arrest.
.. Callaghan said in reply to ques
tions by Langhorne that he be
lieved . that Pothier'a . mentality
was below normal and that 'strong
er minds coald influence him, but
denied that he had suggested ,to
the defendant that , the major
could have accidentally shot him
self in. the manner described at
the military "inquest. He declar
ed that Pothier impressed him as
a liar because he changed his
story so often. He asserted In
answer to Langhorne's questions
that he did not believe Pothier's
first confession and Hot all of the
third.
