Mr. Watts interfered: ".Mr. Chairman, 1 object to Ihe sen ator.' he shouted, "browbeating ami bullying this witness. He should not take advantage of bis position as a senator of the I'nited States."

Mr. Morton and Attorney Vinson remonstrated excitedly whontSenatur Marline demanded: "In your conscience do you approve of the use of a machine gun to slio.il ii a village Inhabited by defenseless women and children?" As the luwyers argued over the question, Senator Mnrtlne shouted: "I thank God I am not a lawyer." "Senator Martine ulready has made tin outrageous attack on me," said Mr. Morton excitedly. "The senator, with out any proof, has. by his questions, accused me of attacking women and children In their homes with n n.n- chine gun.
