ANSWERS BUT FEW QUERIES
Wheelock on Stand In Minnesota
Training School Case.

Ralph w. Wheelock, private secre-
tary to Governor Eberhart, like the gov
ernor himself, escaped grilling ex-
animation in the Whittier hearing be-
fore the state board of control
through technicalities of the law.
Mr.. Wheelock was on the witness
stand for nearly an hour and was
bombarded with pertinent questions
by Judge Frank Wilson, attorney for
Superintendent Frank Whittier, but
was allowed to answer only a few.
The questions were intended to
bring out the fact that Mr.. Wheelock,
in filing the charges Of cruelty to in
mates against Superintendent Whit
tier, was simply following instructions
Of Governor Bberhart, who in turn
was inspired by A. d. Stephens OF
Crookston, Mimi, former state sen.
ator, and Mrs. G. G.. Higbee, president
of the State Federation of Women's
clubs.
Such questions as were ruled mate
rial Mr.. Wheelock answered fully and
frankly, as when he admitted that he
knew nothing Of his own knowledge
prior to the hearing Of the abuses
charged in the complaint.
