as legislator.
Attorney Hanecy took the same
course as did the defense in the
Browne trial. trying to show that
Whites letter was written with black
mailing in view, but White declared
he merely wanted Lorimer to COM
nit himself in some way in answer
ing IL.
White objected to the word
ing of the Tribune contract at
the time he sold his story for 49,
500. He said under examination that
the money mentioned was not a
price paid for the story but was
merely expense money. He said he
expected he would have to engage
counsel He was unable to state Just
why he thought he would need coun-
sci, but said he didn't konw just
where the matter would lead and did
not know now.
Senator Paynter asked White what
he would have. done II Lorimer had
placed the same value of 81. so a word
on his story that White did. He ask
ed White If lie woud have accepted
$3.50 from Lorimer, If he had offered
to buy the story.
White replied that he did not know
but that If he had accepted the
money he would have turned the
story over to some one else. 1t is evil
dent that the members OF the COM
mittee did not regard White with
favor. Several times Senator Burrows
reprimanded him sharply because he
volunteered information.
