O'GORMAN NOW CHIEF
GRAFT HUNT FIGURE
His Testimony at John Doe Inquiry Is Expected
to Put Prosecutor Close to Captains
of Potician.L Ooters

The prospect that United States Sen
ator James a. o'uorman will confirm on
the witness stand in the John Doe inquiry
the sworn testimony of former Governor
william Sulzer with respect to the attempt
to extort si5o.Ooo from James c. Stewart
Is the most significant feature to date OF
the investigation Of highway. barge canal
and aqueduct contracts.
II appears TO thosc who have followed
the inquiry carefully that the Senator
holds the key 10 the entire situation and
the possibility Of a disclosure OF the inner
workings Of the graft machine brings for
ward IN a new light the facts already un-
covered by District Attorney Whitman.
Commissioner James W Osborne and
others
HRd Big Prize to Offer.
The greatness OF the prize which the or

her to the expenditure OF sl6i 900. 900 for
the Catskill acqueduct. tho authorization
of n bond issue of $50. 900. 900 for the con
struction and repair of the highways,
these were the circumstances that tired
the ambitions of those whose eyes were
peeled for public plumber. The gigantic
swindle was already we'll advanced when
another bond issue of s5o.ooo.ooo was put
through to feed the eager grafters.
Almost at the start Of the John Doe in

sary for the perfection of the scheme.
Contractors who had waxed fat on the
first issue were perfectly willing In many
cases to help along the second Those
