about $25.OOO that was paid to one
John y. Lee?' DO you know anything
about money paid to Legislators at JEFF
ferson City?" do you know any
thing about money paid to legisla-
tors ut st. Louis?' do you have any
knowledge of money paid to legisla-
tors by other persons than yourself?"

tion saying he had not knowledge of

ence legislation.
