Kahn, attorney for the receiver, ; ' Robert F. Stephenson, at 120 Broad-i way. It had been tea titled by Roy II.j MacMastcrs that his stepfather. John ! F? drew $550 a week while the firm | j was in financial difficulties and while t he was doing no work. The elder Mac-Masters had the same J answer for more than a dozen impor- ? tant questions regarding the method of doing business, the sale of stocks and ^ the disposal of bonds pledged as collateral by the firm's customers. It t was: jfl "I refuse to answer on the ground ; s ' F ' that it would t^nd to incriminate and i _ i j degrade me." 1 t j t * Mvlnc In U|tt?nn Unlet. ) !

The cheeks by vhich iL was paid, however, were from jiuneh houses in Chicago and Milwaukee und the Iranaaction, therefore, lid not appear on the books here. Two weeks before the firm failed, said the witness, he had heard it van in difficulties from his son. and also from a committee of which AW S. Silkworth, president of the Consolidated, was a member. The committee called >n him at Brettori JIal!. MacMastera said: "They told me that if I could produce i couple of hundred thousand dollars in i day or so the firm could be saved. 1'hey seemed lo think I .had the money Wanted somewhere." "Which of course was untrue," said tfr. Kahn, with a rising inflection. "A'ou tad nothing?" ' Practically nothing." "You call this real estate and Liberty >onds and automobiles nothing?" "Well, 1 had no money." Committee Had Deed to House. After assorting emphatically thai one of the firm's money wont for the urchase of his house or other effects Mat-Masters admitted the deed for bit esldence had been turned over to a Mr Qooiing, one of the committee of which Mr. Silk worth was a member and which t presented concerns that hail lent tc :he MacMastera firm.

"1 refuse to answer on the ground hat it would tend to Intimidate and legradc me," answered MacMasteri ;llhly. Ills counsel corrected hlin, subtltuting the word "incriminate."
