committee. A warning to that effect
was served by Chairman Hepburn

hours almost without respite in trying
to learn how any Of the money was
spent. He urged Edmunds to rise to
the solemnity of the occasion. Mr.
Edmunds resented the implication that
he was withholding information. ME-.
Edmunds had said in answer to q
question what was done with $4,000
given for organization of ONE county
that it was impossible to give the in
formation.

Hepburn, and Edmunds, rising an
grily, said he was giving all tie infor-
nation he could remember, but that
he had kept no account of the manner
In which the funds were spent. The
committee, following this futile effort
to get information from Edmunds. will
hand every witness the big intsrroga-
ton point, what became of the money,
for the investigators are determined
to learn how 100000 can be spent in
such a campaign. Another attempt of
Edmunds to involve la FolEette's
campaign methods was squelcheSi' by
the committee. MIR. Edmunds admit
ted that he was an easy mark as to
money when people, approached him
with offers to aid Stephenson.
