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.

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.
