Smith Criticized Adverting to the Smith letter, Robinson characterized the gov ernor's language sa "unsfateman like" and said he had simply been trying to ascertain whether Sinclair had been a member of the Smith administration after 1920 In the office of racing com missioner. 'Pressed by a number of demo crats to explain a statement that democrats had betrayed their truet, the Indianan said three members of the Wilson cabinet resigned to take places with Ed ward L. Doheny who became the lessee of a California naval oil re serve. "Doheny and Sinclair sleep In the same bed and a lot of demo crats sleep with them," Robinson shouted. Constantly heckled by demo cratic senators, the Indiana re publican finally recalled that Sin clair had held his official posi tion under Smith until a month before his term expired and add ed; Motives Scored I wonder why he was retained all this time. Governor Smith could easily have said: 'Mr. Sin clair, you are unclean and we of Tammany Hall people are clean We don't want you "Did he do eo? He did not. He never did fire him. "There's no use talking, 'birds of a feather will flock together.' The democrats were quick to nick up this .quotation, Harrison of Mississippi particularly turning it back on Robinson. Naming one by one the political associates of the Indianan who have Deen indicted or brought under charges in Indiana, Harrison said after each one: " 'Birds of a feather will flock together,' " as the senate and gal- laries recked with laughter.

Answering questions he said: "X never would have put a drop of water la It If I had-not been absolutely certain - that It was safe." Members of tha Jury took turns asking questions of the aged en gineer. Most of the queries .were directed toward general construc tion nroblems.

Francis dam was not rein forced, he eald. Such dams are never reinforced. "Is there a dam In California that is reinforced?" a Juror asked. "No. not a single one," Mulhol land replied. "Was, there any dirt mixed in the concrete?" "If there was, the chief engi neer surely knew nothing of it. And there was no decomposed granite In it, either, for there Is no granite in that section." At any rate, Mulholland said, the quality of the goods etill is to be found there. The west side of the dam, he believed, was the first to give way. The east wing had gone out when a tremendous pressure of water, created by a swirling throw back of current caromed against the eastward bulwark of the arch.
