"Where did you sit?' Senator Gory was asked. "1 sat in a rocking shair," replied he. "We talked about the appoint ment of her husband. I told" he-r again there was no chance for him. SIk seemed to fee! thnt he had lost. "I arose, remarking that I must go and Mrs. Bond took hold of my hands. She was remarking that I was going to have a hard race. At that moment the telephone rang and she answered it. Then she came back and sat. on the bed. "We talked only a. few minutes. I arose and she took hold of my hand, then fell on the bed. I asked: 'What does this mean'? Just then Robertson came into the room and told her to stop that squalling.." "Did you at any time touch Mrs. Bond?" he was asked, "I did not," the senator replied. Continuing his testimony. Senator Gore said he told Robertson he wanted to see Mrs. Pond again. T asked her if she had anything to say about tho incident. T want to know what this means I said, sne redied she didn't want her husband to know about it. Robertson also said he had nothing to say about it" The senator denied that at any tim his clothing was disarranged while in the room. He said he met Dr. J. H. Earp of Oklahoma City the next day and discussed the incident- "I told him," he said, "that if any one said I did anything improper, it was 'an infamous lie'."
