in the name of Charlei Winters.
Later I learned of his movements.
At 1) o'clock that morning he entered
Bannock Purvis's office. The hard
faced young woman found Duke to be a
different kind of n man from what she
vas in the habit of dealing with, for
when she told him "to wait until Mr.
Vurvis could see him,'' he told her in
very peremptory tone to "get Purvis
icre at once."
She scented trouble, for without more
ado she entered the inner office. In a
moment 1'urvii came out, full of bom
bast and slmulnted indignation. At
slglit of Itriitio Duke he grew bold. He
evidently did not know him and decided
that the rather tall, slight-built, pale,
scholarly-faced mau could be easily
ut prawcil.
He changed his tone quickly when
Puke opened the outer door of the
office and disclosed to the view of the
amnzed Purvis a policeman in uniform !
"You'll wait there for me, please "
"Yci, sir," the officer touched his
I "Purvis," Duke began ttie iiistnut
they were alone. "I have here power
I of attorney to act for Miss Mnitlaqd."
Pnnis began to expostulate, but
Duke said shaiply :

I Opposition to Mr. Palmer developed
Iscwrnl weeks ago when Senator Fre
linghuysen, Republican of New -lersej,
presented statements to the subcora-

Several witnesses in opposition to
'Mr. Palmer were heard by the subcom
