the effort of the defense to show price
at which liquors were sold to county
dispensaries.
Resuming cross examination, Col.
Nelson inquired if Wylie's financial
condition was good when he went on
the board. Fairly good, witness re-
piled. There was no urgent demand
for him to get on board. He went on
board to make money out of it. The
first time he ran for the place, he had
no idea of making money. He was
defeated. In the second contest, he
had the idea of making money. Far
mum also had told him he could make
money out of it. Farnum had sent
him s40O to help in his election. He
offered to pay it back.
Under questions, Wylie said he had
been indicted in Richland county for
conspiracy, also had testified in Co.
lumbia in cases against Black and
Farnum. Had also sworn before grand
jury in the Bernheim indictment.
Witness replied to questions that he
had not been promised immunity, but
he had been advised by his attorney
to make a clean breast of it after
Henry Samuels had been taken be-
fore the attorney general and had Civ
en- enough evidence to convict him.
Witness said that he had not been
sued by the State for the return of
the rebates. Did not know that this
was a part of the agreement between
Mr.. Lyon and his attorney. He had
never seen the agreement. Witness
did not know his present financial
condition. He is in business and he
has not as much as he got out of the
rebates.
There was a wrangle over whether
or not Wylie could not tell what he
and Mr.. Henphill discussed, as that
was a confidential communication be-
tween client and attorney. Mr.. Cas-
ton and Col. Nelson got very indig-
nant over what he considered a re1ec-
ton from Mr. Stevenson that Wylie
had other attorneys when he made a
clean breast of this matter. Mr..
Steveson regretted that the opposing
attorneys were tenderfooted over the
matter, but he had intended no in
situations. Mr.. CASTOR asserted
warmly that he would not rest under
any insinuations of that kind, inside
of the court house or outside. Ut will
be recalled that Wylie testified in the
Farnum case that he had paid Col.
Nelson $500 and owed him $500 more
on retainer fee when these indict-
ments were first sworn out.)
Heated Colloquy.
Wylie testified that the attorney
general came to Chester; witness
made statement to the attorney gen.
eral and it was taken down by stenog-
rapher and read to him and he swore
to it. Mr.. Hemphill advised him to
testify and he would not be punished.
He had been ready to testify when
called on, and had never been sued
by the State for return of rebates.
Wylie swore that they tried to get
reduction on price of Budweiser and
could not succeed.
Do you know c. ". Dudley? Yes.
He had sent an attorney, c. W. West
brook, to Lexington, KY, to see Dud-
ley who was trying to get some
money to go to a hospital in Car'ada
or somewhere. There was a heated
colloquy between Nelson and Lyon.
On the Hull controversy Black went
to Peoria to get whiskey with Wylie's
approval. Whiskey was hard to get
at that time. Wylie testified that
Black was instrumental in having
some Of the Peoria goods shipped
back.
Witness had never seen any whis-
key houses actually pay money to
Mai. Black. The latter had repre-
sented Ullman & Co. before going on
the board. Objection by Mr.. Lyon.
Question ruled out.
Do you know where NJ. A. Good
man is? No.
Was he called as a witness in this
case? No.
Were you very intimate with Maj.
Black? Yes.
You had a conversation with Rawl-
inson in Chester today that he would
not be convicted?
Mr. Lyon objected.
Col. Nelson contended that the OBJ
ject of this question was to show that
Wylie discredited his own testimony.
Wylie was asked again if he had
