"If Colon M Roosevelt had si iply

"There was no personal malice."

The motion was denied by Justice

Actual taking of testimony will be

It was said. This testimbny will be

offered In a-i effort to prove publica

Mr. Barnes also ignored bis oppo

room. fI.ater, however. ho swung

around in his chair and 'watched the
