Richland Distilling company, and Mr..
Johnson said he thought it an unrea-
sonable contract. This contract is a
duplicate of the Fielder contract and
on the same per cent. basis. Senator
Johnson said he thought 10 per cent.
of the amount collected would have
been a reasonable fee for Fielder.

Blease prior to his message No. 4, and
in fact I saw very little of the COVER
nor" said Senator Johnson, replying
to a question by Chairman Carlisle.
Can you suggest any persons going
to prove charges in Message No. 4,

sary affairs" asked Secretary Evans,
of Senator Johnson, to which the lat

er of the State dispensary from March,
1904, until the dispensary was abolish
ed, was the next witness. He explain
ed that the duties of dispensary COM
missioner had nothing to do with pur-
chases. He made no acquisitions for
purchases while he was commissioner.
Said the board or their clerk ordered
yhiskey. He had nothing to do with
if. Mr.. Tatum stated he was under
$4,000 bond, had nothing to do with
ordering goods and he only took
charge of goods after they arrived. He
told of the large amounts Of Whiskey
which came in, and often he had no
room to store the whiskey and would

planned what his duties were.
Mr.. Tatum is one of the defendants

which is now pending in the Richland
county court against w. O. Tatum,

with my protest against such large Or
ders," replied the witness. He knew
, of no money paid by any one to IN
fuence purchasing Of liquor.
Mr.. Tatum held the position OF COM

months after Dr. Murray and the An

Black and Wylie. He named the liquor
houses he represented, saying that he
did all his business through Joe B.
Wylie. Said he had no business trans
actions with Rawlinson and Black. He
then gave a resume of his dealings
with Wylie and of the payment OF
graft" to Wylie. He said his houses
paid Wylie some $4,000 or $1,000
graft" and he knew of other pay
ments made to Wylie. His testimony
was a resume Of the rebates Wylie re-
ceived which was told of in the trials
of Black and Farnum. Samuels was
put through a grilling examination at
the hands of Senator Carlisle, who
did the questioning. Samuels gave a
history of his connection and dealings
with the old State dispensary.
samuels told of having been en-
ployed by Farnum to visit the county
dispensaries to sell whiskey for the
Richland gDistilling company. Said
Farnum paid him $500 per month and
travelling expenses; that when an
order was secured from a county dis
pensary a copy of the order was sent
to Nose H. Mobley, the clerk of the
dispensary board, and a copy to Far
nun. Said he never used any undue
influence in securing orders from
county dispensers. Said that on ac-
count of disagreement between Far
mum and the dispensary board none
of the goods sold the county dispen-
saries was ever shipped out.
Senator Johnson Questioned.
After a ffteen-minute recess, dur
ing which the committee was in exc
cutive session, Senator w. J. John
son, of Fairfield, took the stand, Sen
I
ator Johnson is a resident of Ridge
way. and Senator Johnson was asked
if he recalled seeing the article in the
Fairfield News that Farnum had paid
some $4,000 more than his fine. Mr.
Johnson said he heard some such ru-
NOR and remembered having seen II
in some paper, but did not recall what
naner printed it. He did net recall
seeing it in the Ridgeway paper. Said
he saw the article in some paper IN
timating that Farnum had paid large
sum Of money for his immunity.
Senator Johnson said he had criti'
cised the Ansel commission on the
floor of the senate and his criticism
was aimed at the large amount o.
money paid the attorneys. He sale
his main criticism was aimed at Eel
der, and he thought the contract the
commission made With Fielder was al
unreasonable one.
Senator Johnson was asked what ne
thought of the contract the Bleasf
commission has with Mr.. B. L. Abne!
in collecting the oyercharges from the

the second witness. He assisted the
attorney general in the prosecution of
Farnum and the other dispensary
graft" cases. Mr.. Abney related the
facts of the trial of Farnum, and Of
his subsequent plea of guilty and the
fine of $4,000, which Farnum paid.
Witness knew of no other money paid
by Farnum. Mr. Abney was asked if
he thought the Fielder contract a rea-
sonable one, and he stated that under
the conditions he thought the con
tract reasonable one.
Mr.. Abney said he represented the
Blease commission only in the Rich
land Distilling company case. He said
he had reached an agreement with thu
Blocks, who were stockholders in the
Richland Distilling company; that t
Blocks had paid $12,500 and were to
pay S12,5OO more when the indictment
against them was mol pressed.
The Richland DistiIling company
had been adjudged guilty of overcharg-
ing the State some $5O0,O0O by the
Ansel commission. The Bernheims,
one-third stockholders in the COM
pany, paid $34,7OC back into the State
treasury before the Ansel commission
was fired" and the Blease commits
sion employed Mr.. Abney to collect
the balance of the oVercharges on
basis of so per cent. Of any amount
he could collect The Blocks were
stockholders in the Richland Distill-
ing company, and Mr.. Abney stated
that he had affected an agreement
with the Blocks whereby they had
paid $4,000 and we're to pay $l2,9OO
more when the indictment now pend
ing against the Blocks in the Ches-
ter county courts was mol pressed.
Mr. Abney said the Ansel commits
sion was competent and Jealous IN
their work for the State, and praised
them highly.
! Mr.. Abney was subjected to a run
ping fire of ueqstions from almost
every member of the committee. Sen
ator Carlisle conducted the examina-
ton, basing his questions on the
charges made in the governors mes
sage, No. 4. Mr. Abney thought the
prosecution Of the criminal cases
could not have been more vigorously
or zeaIously handled. Mr.. Abney was
associated with Attorney General Ly-
on in the prosecution of the dispen-
sary graft" trials, along with Mr.
w. F. Stevenson, of Cheraw.
