WILL AGAIN COMMAND
CONFEDERATE VETS
Son of Colonel’s Cousin, Ex-
President’s “Pal,” So Testifies
at Libel Suit Hearing.
MARQUETTE. Mini. May 29
Testimony of Philip James Ronse-
vtlt, son of a cousin of the former
Resident, that Colonel Roosevelt kept
a “regular gentleman s wine cellar’ at
Kts home in Oyster Hay was the fea
ture of this morning’* session of the
trial of Colonel Roosevelt’s suit for
$10,000 libel for charges made in an
editorial by George W. Nawett, editor
of The Ishpeming Iron Ore. that
Roosevelt “was drunk, nota infre
quently."
The younger Roosevelt followed
Charles Thompson, a New York
newspaper man; Andrew Abele, for
mer locomotive engineer of Ashtabula.
Ohio, and A. Z. Blair, an attorney of
Portsmouth. Ohio, all of whom bore
witness to the former President's so
briety during trips when they accom
panied him
Calls Colonel Abstemious.
After stating he lived near the
former President's home at Oyster
Bay. ond that he was the colonel's
dally companion when the latter was
at Oyster Bay, Philip Roosevelt tes
tified he never had seen the colonel
drink other than at meals and then
only white wine and occasionally a
glass of champagne. He also de
clared that the limit of his indulgence
on the last Presidential campaign was
a spoonful of brandy in a glass of
milk, and denied Indignantly that he
ever had seen the colonel drunk.
"Does Roosevelt keep wines and
liquors In his home?” was the first
question of Attorney Andrews for the
defense.
“Yes," was the answer.
Q. A collection of liquors?—A. A
regular gentleman's cellar.
Q. Scotch whisky?—A. I never saw
it, but I supposed it was there.
Q. White wine?—A. Yes
Q. Champagne?—A. Yes.
Q. Brandy?—A. I presume it was
there.
Story Prepared in Advance.
The witness returned the same an
swer to the following: Red wine,
sherry, rye, whisky, bourbon whisky,
Madeira. Russian wine creme de
men the.
Q How long have you been a news
paper man?—A. Since March. 1913.
Q. Are you doing newspaper work
here?—A. My pay is going on.
Q. Are you acting for your paper?
—A. I am sending out stories.
Q. Did you write up and send out
Colonel Roosevelt s testimony before
it was given?—A No.
Q. Was it written up before it was
delivered?—A. Yes.
Q. And sent out by any person?—
A The Colonel prepared a statement
embodying the substance of his testi
mony and I presume it was sent out.
Q. And It was printed in New York
before the Colonel went on the stand?
On objection, the court refused to
permit a reply. On redirect exami
nation the witness said liquor whs
never pressed on guests at Roosevelt’s
home.
Edwin Emerson, of New York, sec
retary of Colonel Roosevelt during
the Cuban campaign, followed Philip
Roosevelt on the stand.
Court was adjourned until 2 o'clock
after Andrews had testified he never
saw Roosevelt drink spirituous liquors
during the campaign in Cuba fifteen
years ago.
Newett Ready to Testify.
George W. Newett, defendant in the
suit, was prepared to take the stand
to-day in his own defense to tell the
sources of the information on which
he based his charges of drunkenness
and profanity.
A trip made by Newett to Florida,
during which he met a number of
prominent persons who are alleged to
have spoken of Roosevelt’s alleged
over-indulgence in liquor, and similar
statements made to him by persons
in Michigan, will form the basis of
his testimony.
Newett will also tell of various ar
ticles which he saw in newspapers
and magazines which influenced him
to write the editorial now in question.
Tin Ishpeming editor has not been
well for some months, and' as soon
as the present case is ended he will
go to a hospital for an operation.
The Colonel to-day declined an in
vitation to address the Marquette G.
A. R. on Memorial Day.
