, ; LOS ANGELES, July 16. Bert H.
Franklin, confessed bribe giver, talked
very freely about bis offense, according
to a half dosen witnesses who took the
stand today for the defense in the bribery
"trial of Clarence 8. Darrow. In all of
his numerous conversations be was quite
smpnauo in all his avowals of p arrow's
Innocence, according to the same wit
nesses, all of whom were called to attack
the veracity of Franklin, who. while on
the stand, had denied making such asser
tions. - ,
f ; Mr. Darrow took a leading part In con
ducting his case and on several occasions
he engaged in verbal clashes with the
state, forces. Twice he accused the dis-
- trict attorney of trying te win. through
trickery.
P. J. Pirotte, a postmaster at the suburb
of Venice, was the most Important wit
ness, of the day and ha was subjected
to a searching cross-examination by As
sistant District Attorney Ford, which
had not been concluded at adjournment.
Pirotte testified to having held several
conversations with Franklin In which
the. latter had said Darrow never had
given him the money with which to bribe
Juror Lock wood. s .
Money from Ontalde Sonreee,
The witness said he was told by Frank'
lin that there was being used money that
the attorneys for the McNamaras , de
fense knew nothing about Franklin also
was said to have told witnesses that he
had not sent any message to Darrow the
morning of his arrest and that if any one
called "film on the telephone to ask him
1 to go to the scene of Franklin's arrest
it : was Detective Brown of the district
attorney's office. Pirotte testified Frank
lin had told him at another meeting that
he was not worried about the outcome of
the charges against him.
"They don't want me; they are after
Darrow," he told the witness.
"He told me that Fredericks was under
great political obligations to him," said
Pirotte, '.'because once ", when political
enemies were trying to get some docu
menta connected with some trouble Fred
ericks was In some years ago, Franklin,
who' was in the United States marshal's
office, had secreted them."
, Adam Dixon' Warner, a former attorney
and lecturer, testified Franklin had said
to him In, the progress of the McNamara
case:; '
-"I am going to win this lawsuit myself.
There' la an angle to this that Darrow
nor anyone else knows anything about."

Who Braidy Was and
What He Did
It Is not likely that any other
photographer In this country will be
, favored acata with such a monopoly
of distinguished patronage a had
Matbew B. Brady In the early 60 s.
. To visit Washington or New York
' and not have a portrait made by him
was to admit a lack of means or ap
preciation, for Brady was pre-eminently
the photographer ot hisdav in
the United States.
But Brady was above all things an
artist, and when the first gun of the
war was fired he became eager to try
out hit genius on the field of battle.
By hard work with Lincoln and
Stanton, he secured special protec
tion from the Government for his big.
clumsy cameras and together with
the United States Secret Service
under, Allan Plnkerton, he aet off
with hi men, hla wagon and hla
cameras, and for four years he and
bis followers braved death to secure
photographs of scenes of conflict, the
dash of cavalry, the clash of infantry,
deeds of self-sacrifice and heroism
on sea and battlefield, in hospital,
camp and prison.
More Than Any One Soldier Saw
Brady penetrated strange place
and saw strange sights. Favored by
the Secret Service, he and his daring
followers penetrated everywhere
from Florida to Pennsylvania, from
Washington to New Orleans, from
Mississippi to the sea on board
ships of-war on the battle-line In
prison In hospital m camp.
The pictare Brady and these brave
men look reveal ."The Crimson
Drama" the war of brother against
brother from start to finish. , They
deal with the human side of the
struggle the pathos, the laughter,
the tragedy, and even the comedy of
those four years. But, from the
smallest to the largest photograph,
each tells a story of courage and
fortitudeon both sides attd of man's
willingness to sacrifice himself for a .
principle. , '
In our Imaginings of war wealways
see long lines of soldier with neat
caps and trim coat and shining ac
coutrements. In other words, we see
the parade that passed down the
street last Fourth ef July.
Looking at the Brady pictures we
realize bow different war Is. The -pick
and span aoldier is nowhere to
be found. Instead, there are men
coatlest and hatless and shoeless.
with heavy growths of beard and
tousled bead, men In their shirt
sleeve with dirty faces and very,
very -tired. In our mind eye we
have alway seen rows of horse rid
ing forth at a gallop, all In a straight
line with gallantly clad officers wav
Ing their awords. These picture
show us the real thing. The gallantry
is there and the swords, but th
Matbew B. Brady
horses chafe and the men have no
time to wave their swords they are ,
too busy.
Living Witnesses of tne War
In the last half century the men
who fought under the Star and
Stripes or the Star and Bars, have
grown old and many of them have
died. The torn-up battlefield are
covered with the white bloom of
cotton and swaying grace of wheat
The old ships have gone to the bottom
. of the sea or to the junk heap. The '
guns have rusted, the fortification
have rotted away, the ruined cities
have come back to more vigorous life:
even the bitter feelings that caused
brother to fht brother have faded
away. But the photographs of Brady,
eye witnesses of the four years'drama, "
are here Intact, a cter, as reliable
ss they were fifty year ago.
