Gludes Long Siege on Witness Ot And Whitman Letter Read

Syracuse New York April 29 Colonel Bunvevell testified at the Willan Barnes Jr. examination in the Roosevelt era context. Whitman, a New York official, said progressive Republicans sought to rid the state of corrupt conditions. The letter, written in 1424, tied corruption to multiple parties. The witness claimed he wrote over 159 000 letters and signed about 20 000 laws. Roosevelt entered the recount briefly, and questions about McKinley and contributors arose. The discussion touched on the Tennessee Coal and Iron and United States Steel Corp, with steel trust dynamics during the panic era. The witness emphasized selecting judges personally or via known bar associations, denying prior influence on appointments. The Whitman letter segment concluded the voir dire. A later note covered submarine tapping rumors in Washington.
