that the entire day mlcht be describe!
as one continuous ttiill, culminating In
the beginning of u l-apid-fire cross-examination
of the pritclpal witness by
Chief Counsel Roger 'jjt the defense.
Franklin's testimony at times wan
dramatic in the cxtrome, the witness de
parting from his apparent willingness to
tell all he knew to a' seeming loathneia
to give evidence concerning eloso friends,
whom he subsequently drew Into hid
Btory of jury corruption. Twice he ap
pealed to the court, once when he was
asked to name a man who was said to
have offered a bribe to a venireman with
whom he was negotiating and again whe;i
Assistant District Attorney Ford asked
Wm to give the names of three men
whom ha had approached wltb offers of
bribes.
Other Talesmen Mentioned.
For the first time since the arrest of
Frankln and the Indictment of himself
and Darrow, the names of prospective
Jurors other than Lockwooa and Bain
alleged to have been sought to be bribed,
were Injected Into the case. .
Franklin said he had entered Into
negotiations with A. K. Kruger of the
Palms and had been turned down by
three others, Guy Yonkln, a Los Angeles
cigar dealer; John S. Underwood, a local
Iron worker, and Frank Smith of Covlna.
Franklin appealed to the court when
asked to mention the names of the men
he said he had approached, as they were
all his friends. A short time before he
had made a similar statement. when asked
the name of the man who was said to
have approached Kruger before he had.
The witness exhibited much emotion
when he related his conversation with
Kruger In which he said that Kruger had
told him that another man had offered
him H.000 for bis vote as a McNamara
Juror. -
Kruger, he said, wanted to know If
they were both working for the sajne side.
He named a Los Angeles lawyer hereto
fore not mentioned In connection with the
McNamara case, which drew an Indignant
protest from Attorney lingers.
Franklin said that he had tolj Darrow
after his arrest for attempting to bribe
Lockwood that had Darrow not been
present when he was arrested, he had
Intended tq turn Lockwood over to the
police for accepting a bribe.
"That was," asserted the - witness,
"when I found that Lockwood had turned
traitor to me." '
He said that when he saw detectives
near the scene of the meeting with Lock
wood he knew he bad been betrayed, nar
row's presence at the place and time of
FrankHn's arrest, the latter explained by
saying that he had been informed that
l.ecompte Davis, one of the associate
counsel for the McNamara defense, had
telephoned to Darrow, telling him that
Franklin was about to get Into trouble.
Darrow, he said, had gone there to warn
After his arrest. Franklin testified, Dar
row had assured him that his family
would be looked after. On every occasion
that he wet DarroW thereafter, Darrow
always had asked how his wife and
friends viewed his arrest and what his
wife's advice was.
"I told him," said the witness, "that

MANY GATHER FRIDAY EVENING AT THE ALLISON COUNTRY - HOME NEAR CALHOUN.
my wife had told me It was not my duty
to drag 'Mr. Darrow into the mud I had
made. He Bald she was a brave woman.
I told him mv aon had addressed me the
same way - and that I had told the
there was mx)anger of my dragging In
Mr. Darrow' ',
Franklin related numerous conversations
with Darrow la which the former's course
was discussed. He did not fear convic
tion for attempting to . bribe Lockwood,
he enld, but Itecompte Davis had been
conducting negotiations with the district
attorney with a view to getting the
latter to accept a plea of guilty on the
part of Frank Mn. v . . .
In the event of such a. plea and the,
Imposition of a fine of 15,000 as antlci-'
pated, Darrow bad told him, the witness
told, that he would pay the fine and in
addition give Mm 13,000; "the OOO," suld
Franklin, "for the protection of my
family until I could rebuild my reputa
tion in the .community." .
"I told Ma Darrow," continued Frank
lln, "that If the district attorney accepted
my plea of gwllty and dismissed the other
counts, and1 If he would , care for my
family as psomlsed, I would accept the
proposition.
Ott another , occasion the witness said
he had been informed by Davis that, the
latter had serious doubts of the accept
ance by the district attorney of a plea
of guilty. "I asked' him what would be
the best procedure In that event and he
told me that he was not ready to con
cede his defeat along that line," said
Franklin. A plea of guilty and request
for probation was also discussed, (n
that case, the witness said, Davis agreed
to give him 15,000, the amount of the pro
posed fine. . and 13,000 In addition.. "
" Plan to Save Darrow. ' '
At a later date a plan was suggested
by Davis, said the witness, of Inventing
a ; story of a Frsnklln-Darrow go-be
tween. In order, to save the latter, but
Franklin told them, he said, that Assist
ant District . Attorney Ford would never
believe his story.
At this point Darrow mentioned Harrl-
man's name and Davis thought it wu
a very unfair thing to say, said the witness.
I said it was a poor statement for
him to make Implicating another party,"
said Franklin., "Then I told Mr. Davis
if .he would ossuro me thut I would not
get over two years in the penitentiary
I would plead guilty and say nothing."
This . practically concluded Franklin's
direct examination. . -. .
Chief Counsel Rodgers for the defense
then began his cross-examination with
questions . concerning Franklin's past re
lations with Lockwood and the former's
expressed wllllngne?: to have lockwood
punished for accepting a bribe.
I was doing my beet to get Out of
the scrape I was in" declared Franklin.
The witness denied that he had been
offered Immunity, but said he knew the
law granted him immunity when he went
on the stand for the prosecution.
Rodgers was examining the witness' as
to the entries In his bank book, over re
peated objections of the prosecution, when
court adjourned until tomorrow. ,
8eeral hundred persons more than
there were seats to accommodate, tried
to get Into the court room this after
noon, 100 remaining In line for two hours
during the usual midday recess.
"Bert, they're onto us."
These were the words Clarence S. Dar
row uttered to Bert H. Franklin a mo
ment before the latter's arrest on No
vember 28, 191L for the bribery of George
K. lockwood, according to Franklin's
testimony today In the trial of Darrow.
Talramea Were Warned.'
Franklin also testified that persons
drawn as Jurors In the McNamara trial
who were not considered friendly to the
defense were given notice in time to
evade service. L:
When Franklin resumed his testimony
he was asked the name called to his at
tention by Darrow with that of Lock
wood during their meeting at a cafe,
November 25. Franklin testified Wednes
day that Darrow had shown him the list
of names of the ninth McNamara venire,
with the remark: "That looks better."
.The other name was that of A. Kruger,
raid the witness. Lockwood and Kiuger,
be said, had been discussed by Durrow
and himtelf. Others on the list who were
considered unfriendly to the McNamara
defente were marked "N. G.." said the

Replete with success on every hand
and rounds of well-earned applause from
a full audience of students, parents and'
friends, "A Royal Family," Robert Mar
shall's three-act comedy drama, was pre
sented by a picked cast of forty mem
bers of the Omaha High school senior
class at the Brandels theater last evening
under, the able direction of Miss Lillian
Fitch'. , ...
Everything went off without a hitch,
lines were reeled off In true footllght
fashion, cues were picked up at the right
moment, and costumes and makeups
were arranged without a mishap during
the entire three ' acts and four scenes.
Scenlo effects used were elaborate in
every detail.
"A Royal Family" Is the story of the
successful attempt of a portly cardinal
In bringing about the betrothal of a care
free daughter and a restless son of
royalty by means of a series of clever
schemes. While this Is being accom
plished several humorous situations arise
in the gardens and rooms of the palace.
The scene is laid In Arcacla, a little
kingdom, and the time is the latter part
of the nineteenth century.
A humorous trend Is touched In the sec
ond act when members of the royal
household' partake of a woodland feast
with a picturesque background of over
hanging foliage, mossy banks and rustic
benches. During this 'scene two ardent
lovers, the royal couple, who are later
betrothed, perch themselves among thh
branches of a huge tree overlooking the
feast table and are discovered In their
lofty position. A cast of forty took part
In the final scene, a court reception of
betrothal.
Miss Ulah Renner. with the leading
part as' Princess Angela, proved a nlmbio,
rollicking, care-free princess, entirely
different from the storybook kind and
rather . a modern boisterous maiden.
Everard Chllds was a good looking Prince
Victor and was able to carry bis lines
In a winning manner. Miss Slolse Stevenson-deserves
unstinted praise for her
work air the queen dowager, as her
pointed remarks were always a relief
to tense situations.
Aided by a robust makeup and a portly
smile Frank Foisey as Curdlnal Casano
drew rounds of applause. Vernon Schleh
as 'king of Arcacla, Maurice Clark as
Father Anselir, and Miss Gladys Prenica
as Prince Charles also had heavy parts.
The other roles were well acted.
Fond parents and friends heaped the
footlights with huge bouquets of blooms
at the end of each act and the youthful
Thespians were forced to respond to re
peated curtain calls.
Under the direction of Walter ( B.
Graham several quartet selections were
remlerer during the second act
Following the presentation of the play,
every one of the student players labored
In stuffy dressing rooms with little suc
cess iu removing grease paint and fluffy
dobs of hair that hid their natural com
plexion, and most of those who took part
went homo happily with traces of their
makeup plainly visible.
Mrs. Myster of the FUch School of
Acting acted as wardrobe mistress and
Oscar Lleben was master of costumes for
the boys who ' took part Rex Houlton
of the class of 1912 managed the play
which was a success financially. Scenery
used was furnished from the supply of
the Flayers' club of Omaha. - '
