Combatting testimony Introduced by the defense in me ueorge jos eDh disbarment case by Elvin C. Condit to the effect that he had furnished liquor to Thomas Mannix who In turn gave it to Chief Jus tice McBride of the supreme court to influence him as a member of the court, the prosecution Wednesday afternoon called Homer C. Conser, former business partner of Con dit. Conser and others were called as rebuttal witnesses Conser said that there were two cases of liquor at their place of I business in July, 1923, but that it was purchased because they under stood it would be in demand dur ing the Elks convention. At no other time during the year, he said, was any liquor kept there. Conser said further that the liquor disappeared while he was In a hos pital, and that Condit told him he did not know what became of it. When the Joseph disbarment charg es against Mannix were filed with the grievance committee of the Multnomah Bar association, how ever, he said that Condit came to him and asked him to swear that the liquor had been given to Man nix. Conser said that Condit's reputa tion for truth and veracity was bad. Other character witnesses Intro duced were A. A. Blnrord, rice pres ident of the Citizen's bank of Port land, and aSkiephine Gault, book keeper and cashier of the North Coast Electric company, both of whom said Condit's reputation for truth and "veracity was bad.

The defense rested Its case after an hour of slow progress, marked chiefly by the failure of a defense witness to put In an appearance, at the morning session.

Good Evening! Sips for Supper By DON UPJOHN Doaione If we didn't get lonesome all over last night. Ws went to the old Orand Opera house to hear the Elks tune In on their first musical comedy'for 10 years. It took us back 20 years ago or so, when the old Orand was the Metropolitan opera house of the val ley. It took us back to the days of Nat Goodwin, DeWolf Hopper, Lew Dockstader, Jeff DeAngelis and the rest if the boys. As we looked, around we expected to see Doc Tom my Smith, Harry Albert, Casey Ol- lnger. Charley McNary, Skipper Durbin and the others who never missed a night In the old times. In those days we knew everybody there, no matter how packed the house. But last night we looked around and we knew hardly anyone. We saw the gray head of Cus Hucke steui, the bald head of Rufe Harris, the round head of Si Eakin, but looked In vain for the square head of Walt Thompson. J. C. Perry was there, maybe' a few more hidden where we couldn't see them. But the rest of them were strangers. The old town has growed up. Down In front Oscar Steelhammer was trying to hit Mary Schultz in the back of the neck every time he extended his trombone. Clarence Wenger was tapping the ivories. But Tex Stoudenmeyer was absent. So was Tommy Holman. Those are the boys who used to tune up when The Tale of the Kangaroo," was whistled all over town and "I'm Afraid to go Home in the Dark,' was the favorite singing melody. Folks, just the same, it's a hot dog show the Elks are putting on over at the Grand. Plenty of pretty girls, a lot of catchy tunes well sung, some good comedy, and you don't have to stay up all night to hear It like you do with some home-town productions. The receipts go to the Christ mas cheer fund. It's on again to night and you couldn't spend an evening, and six bits better. And it will do the old timers good to go, To sit and see the ghosts of other Elk shows of the past. To dream of the days when Cushion Foot Belle, Harry Wenderoth and other old timers were chorus men. And Lottie Smith was the prima donna. Yea, they were good old days. 80 don't forget there's another Christmas cheer show tonight and take it in. 3 REPORTERS OUT OF JAIL Washington (IP) Three reporters who preferred Jail to naming the source of confidential Information contained in certain news stories they wrote, -vere at liberty here Tuesday after serving 40 days of a 45 day sentence for contempt of court.
