Frank T. Wagner, the tool, who at
senatorial investigation conducted dur
ing the late session Of the legislature,
gave in minute detail fairy tale to
the effect that he witnessed the trans
fer Of thirty-6ve thousand dollars from
a prominent Milwaukee bank n to the
pockets of three democratic members
of the legislature for their influence in
the election of Isaac Stephenson, and
who was arrested on charge Of per
jury, was tried in the municipal court
Of Dane county last week. Not one
sentence of evidence was produced to
prove the heineous allegations. The
jury promptly found Wagner guilty and
he was sentenced to three years con-
finement in states prison, In his ev'
denee before the investigation cor
mittee Wagner swore that he witnessed
the transfer of money through tran
som between two rooms in the Plank
iugton House in Milwaukee, when in
fact there was no such an opening
where observation could be made. This
illustrates wen the kind of stuff the
