The itemized statement Of the ex-

ton, which has been carried on in
the Courts since last summer, was
furnished the legislature Monday
evening by the request Of that body.
The total expense amounts to more
than $4,000, besides the cost Of the

prominent Democratic lawyer re-
ceived more than 81. 900 for his SER
vices during two months time, and
two other prominent Democratic
