Q. Was that paid for?
A. I presume so. I am not business manager. I am responsible for whatever is written there. I assume that responsibility wholly.
Q. Do you know of any articles that were published in your paper that were calculated to arouse and inflame the people that were paid for for insertion?
A. No, sir; I did not.
By Mr. Means:
Q. Have you got any idea who wrote that article, if you were paid for it?
A. I do not know who wrote it. I do not know anything about that.
Q. In writing an article—supposing I was even competent to write an article for your paper, and would wish to suppress my name, would not you require to have my name, so that if you were come back upon you could get it?
A. In regard to that, that is not an article, it is an advertisement.
Q. It might come under that head. I think it would keep you very busy to make that out an advertisement. I do not claim to be a newspaper man, but it would keep me pretty busy to make that out?
