Throughout a long eross exBJnina tlon repeated efforts were made to link up the "principal" with the White House where Bennett said he had attended a conference between the President and newspaper correspondents just before the message waa sent. Under the questioning the witnesa made varied explanations of other features of his direct testimony, but he Insisted to the end that the "principal" was Senator Curtis. Bennett himself declared there was nothing to he concealed about his conferences with Senavtor Curtis and that there was no reason why the senator's name should not have been used in the message.

He did not say that the Kansas senator had asked hint to con vey amy message to McLean other than personal greetings. Much of the questioning of Bennett the only witness of the day re volved around a cede message which he said he had directed be sent to Mc Lean on February 14, a few hours be fore the formal subpoena for the publisher was Issued by the committee. This message as decoded by a cipher expert said: war alar of Xsisare Saw Wyfge for nearly an hour, His direct message to you is 'I am at Wycgo Elbow and standing at the guns.

"(Signed IdenHnea as "Canst." Identifying himself as the "count," Bennett first said that as nearly as he could remember his intent was to re fer to Wilton J. Lambert, of counsel for McLean.

He explained that the publisher had sent him a message to find out if Lambert was diligently and ably watching his affairs. After a conference with Lambert he said he had told John F. Major, another of McLean's to "send fown a message to Mr. McLean and that Lambert says, quote his words if you want to, that he Is attending to this matter very closely, fn the Job you might say, or something to that effect: very lose to fV'alsh, keeping in touch witfc Mr. lWalsh and on the job.

Diligently pursuing his duties." Word for Walsh According to this explanation of the telegram, Wycgo was the code word for Senator Walsh, the committee prosecutor, and Wyhol referred to Mrs. McLean. Bennett then was pressed as to what "fight" was being made on Lambert, and said be did not know anything about any light except the natural diligence that attorney might use Xtltt HUKAJTON KKFUBMCAN, MAKUll 8, 1924 protecting or working for his client." The witness insistel he had not directed tbe sending of that portion of the telegram. "So far as I know anything about it," observed Senator Walsh, "there was no fight on Mr. Lambert." "1 don't either," responded the witness.

"Well, this really does not hook up, Mr. Bennett, does HV pursued the senator. Sad To Meaning The witness conceded it had no meaning to him. and Senator Walsh asked him about another telegram which he had sent to McLean on the same day announcing that he would have a conference with before one o'clock." Bennett said he thought referred to Mr. Daugherty.

Then inserting Mr. Daugherty's name in the original telegram, where the witness previously had said Mr. Lambert's should be. Senator Walsh said the whole language connected up fairly well. What Daugherty laid "That is substantially what Mr.

Daugherty told me," the witness said, "as well as Mr. Lambert strange as it may seem." Reverting to this telegram later.
