ROOSEVELT TRIAL
IS NEAR AT HAND
Teddy Is Excused From the Stand—
Ex-president Relieved When Al
lowed To Go.
SYRACUSE, N. Y„ April 28.—The
examination ot ex-President Roose
velt ended today. Teddy was on the
stand for six days and appeared re
lieved when told that he was no
longer needed by the defense. His
re-direct examination was very short
and his attorneys were willing to al
low his cross-examination to stand.
All of this morning and part of
yesterday’s examination was taken up
with the introduction of letters writ
ten by Roosevelt to leaders of the
Republican party when he was seek
ing political preferment at their
hands. Many of the letters demon
strated clearly that Roosevelt had
bargained for political support and
had made promises and given patron
age when necessary to secure it. Let
ters Roosevelt had written to Platt
when he was boss of New York, let
ters he wrote to O’Dell and Barnes
asking aid and giving promises were
spread on the records and the wit
ness forced to admit that he had writ
ten them, but that they were suppos
ed to be strictly confidential. Letters
written when Roosevelt forced the
nomination of Taft from the Republi
can leaders in spite of their opposi
tion was also made public.
The trial will end in two days and
may possibly be. ended tomorrow if
the attorneys do not take up much
time for argument.
The result of the suit is awaited
with intense interest by politicians
in this state. No matter what the
outcome, It is admitted on all sides
that Teddy is down and out and that
enough jobbery has been exposed to
kill him forever with the voters of
this state or with the people of the
nation.
The attorneys for Barnes are confi
dent that they will secure a verdict.
Roosevelt seems greatly worried at
the turn the affair has taken and
shows plainly the strain of the six
days he has been under examination
by Barnes’ attorneys, who seemed to
be "de-lighted” to make him mad.
The women’s auxiliary of the Pio
neers will give a “cotton ball’ next
Saturday at Eagle hall and every
body is expected to come and enjoy
themselves.
