torney llrlslol and Francis J. lleney
clashed, Bristol flatly denying ho hail
made promises of immunity to ex
United States Commissioner Hamilton
H. Hendricks for his testimony
against Hall. lleney flashed the fol
lowing telegram on Bristol whlcti
would bear out Hendricks' story:
"Francis J. lleney Hendricks
wants sentenco date postponed to
some day next week to enable hi in to
consult with you relative to evidence
on Hermann and Hull, In considera
tion for reduction of sentence. I
don't see any harm in postponement
until you get hero. What do you sny?
Answer.
"BRISTOL,
"United States Attorney."
"I never sent that telegram," de
clared Bristol. "Hittenhousn showed
it to me after It had been sent and I
jacked hint up about It."
Bristol denied emphatically that
ho had ordered the telegram sent and
replying to Honey's questions said
that while he assisted lleney In sonio
cases ho always thought Klttcnlmiise
and Neuhanson were Honey's princi
pal representatives.
"You thought so," said lleney.
"It. was a fact," answered Bristol,
firmly.
"Didn't you toll mo you had a talk
with Hendricks nntl that he had tnld
you of his conversation with Hull?"
asked lleney.
"No, sir," and llrlslol stiyiped

to Heney's ear for n minute or two,

telegram.

but his testimony was not especially
Interesting.
Judge Hunt yesterday denied tho
motion of Judge Webster, ntlorney
for John II. Hall, for a directed ver
dict of acquittal. When lleney closed
the case for the government shortly
before noon yesterday, he caused tho
Indictment to lie dismissed as against
Kdwln Mays, Hull's co-dufemlant, ex
plaining that ho did not consider that
tho prosecution had sufficient evi
