BOSTON. March 23.——Henry H. R0!-
("78. of New York. was recalled as I
witness at the opening of the gas trial
today This began the fifth day of
Mr. Rogers' testimony. Counsel Whip-
ple resumed questioning about the

he alleged Mr. lingers held though they
belonged to .l. Edward Addickl. Mr.
lingers stated that he had requested
his New York office by telephone to
send to lloston all available informa-
tion bearing upon this matter. Mr.
Whipple asked Mr. Rogers if ills pri-
vate secretary. Miss Harrison. would
come to Boston to testify. and Mr. Rog-
ers said: "i don't think she would
come. t'\‘t‘ll It i requested her to."
(‘oIIIIscl soon reverted to‘tho sub-
ject of Lawson payments. Mr. Rogers
said that the IIrIIIngements for paying
Mr. Lawson the $10,000 in connection
with the lloston (ins reorganization
project were made in witness‘s New
York office. Mr. Rogers said that he
was not interested jointly with Mr.
Lawson in any speculation in copper
stocks or otherwise. Mr. Whipple nsk-
ed that a certain letter from Mr. Law-
son to Mr. Rogers be produced. Mr.
Rogers Ilemurred. asking the court to
take the matter under consideration.
as he considered that Mr. Lawson had
some privileges in this connection. A
consultation between Judge Parker
