JUDGE STOPS GRAHAM
IN ATTACK ON MOTIVE
OF CLAY PROSECUTOR
Lawyer Accuses Taulane
or "Ambition to Secure
Conviction of Innocent
Men" and Says He Lacks
Conscience.
Th6 most bitter controversy of the Clny
trial so far occurred today when Con
gressman George 8. Urnhnm accused As
sistant District Attorney Josiph A. Tnu
Juno ot "an ambition to secure the con
viction df Innocent men." s
A rigorous protest to the court was
made by Mr. Taulane, and Judge Fergu
son told the chief counsel for the defense
that he could not have "such accusa
tions" made. The Court explnlued that
the, case was a severe tax on Mr. Tall
lane's memory.
"I'm not talking of his memory,"
snapped Mr. Graham, "I'm referring to
his conscience."
"Don't you talk to me of conscience,"
replied Mr. Taulane.
Mr. Graham accused Mr. Taulane of
"wanting his own way." He snld tho
trial could be finished In two weeks If Mr.
Taulane would expedlnlo matters. The
Assistant District Attorney then declared
the case would go much more rapidly If
It Were not for Mr Graham's "obstruc
tions," V moment later Mr. Graham told Mr.
Taulane to "cease his pretensions."
"Thank oti," said Mr. Taulane, with
elaborate sarcasm.
"You are entirely welcome," was the
', retort. "I'm going to give you tho truth
in tho future."
TWO LETTERS RULED OUT.
Carl G. Flelsrhman. a model maker, was
called1 to the stand today. He Is the fifth
witness In the trial of former Director of
Publld Safety Clay. John It. Wiggins and
Wlllard H. Walls, conti actors, on the
charge of conspiracy to defraud the city
In contract Jugglery.
Two letters written by Carl B. Zllen-
slgcr wjien hq was city architect were
ruled out for the present by Judge Fer
guson. There was somewhat of a sensa
tion when the court asked Mr. Tnulano
if City Controller Walton was a party to
the dofensc. The letters written by Xilcn
". xlger wcr to Walton, and before ruling
f upon their admissibility as evidence Judge
, Ferguson said:
"Do you charge Controller John M. Wal
ton with being a party to the conspir
acy?" "No," said Mr. Taulane.
"If he were a party to the defense,"
continued the court, "these letters might
be accepted. But In view of the fact that
Carl B. Zllcnzlgcr, who wrote the letters,
is the only man In the world who cannot
bo drnvvu Into this case as a co-conspirn-tor,
beCause he has been acquitted, and
as Mr. Walton Is not accused by the Com
monwealth, I will sustain the objection of
Mr, Graham and tho letters may not bo
received."
Tho court' added thut circumstances
might arise later In the trial that would
permit of the letters being accepted as
evidence. The letters In question were
w -Uteri to Inform the City Controller that
work nt the truckhouse, 36th and Cath
arlno streets, was to be done In nccotd
onco with plans on file at the office of
the city architect. They were necessitated
bv the lack of a set of specifications with
the llrst supplementary contract for the
flrehojsc.
DEFENSE WINS POINT.
The doelslon of Judge Ferguson was the
first Important victory of the trial for
cither side. By it tho defense drew "first
blood." Mr. Taulane. however, has, not
yet slven up hope of getting the letters
Into evidence.
From the viewpoint of the defense the
decision la Important as Indicating that
other 'niattcrs 'In which Zllcnzlngcr fig
ured, nnd which were brought out at tho
first tr'al, may be barred out this time
because ot Zllcnzlnger's acquittal.
A half hour was consumed at the open
ing1 or the fourth day of tho trial today
examining plans and tracings of the vari
ous Joba under fire.
The prosecution contends that Wiggins
A. Co. trot almost a monopoly of contracts
undor Clay bccuti3e bulletins, proposing
certain changes from the original con
tract and specifications, were not given
to other bidders. William t Wolfcrs
bcrger, formerly a draftsman In the
office o'f the City Archltct. testified to
day ho had only a "general" recollection
of having given these bulletins with
plans and specifications to bidders other
than AVIgjlns. Tho particular Jobs under
discussion were the bathhouses at X.'U
and Lombard Streets nnd at Montrose nnd
Datien streets.
Bitter arguments between Mr. Graham
and Mr. Taulane Interrupted the exam
ination of Wolfersberger. Mr. Graham
time and again accused Mr. Taulane of
btowbcatlng his own witness. Numerous
objections made to the questions of the
Assistant District Attorney, on
,h I
Ktound that they wereln the nature of
fciusa .-Auimimwuu, nctc BUSlunieu.
