had frequently come to him during the
session of the legislature, telling him
that he came from Senator Clark; that
Clark wanted him to come to his room
and that he Child could get him S25, 00C
for his vote. He had told Hill that he
thought $4,000 was enough for his vote
and that if Clark wanted to pay that
sum for it he could put the money in
Mr.. Whiteside's hands.
Mr.. Myers was also asked if it was
true, as Charley Clark had stated in
his testimony that he CMyers) had
told him CLARK that he appreciated
that the $500 check sent to him by
Clark was merely a business matter.

lutely false. If the check had been re-
ceived as a mere business matter,
should certainly have acknowledged its
receipt, as I do in all business matters
When 1 received the check regarded
IT as bait to a bride and I ignored it
