identify q signature to letter as be-
ing his own. The letter was later Of
fered in evidence and was written by
The senator to the chief Of police OF
Blue Island, Ill. The tone of the let
ter was an inquiry regarding the possi-
Bile truth Of Wfikerson's alleged news

guilty of the Blue Island mufder.
Wilkerson completed his testimony
this morning and was subjected to only
twenty Eve minutes of cross examina-
tion, Jones' counsel, however, stating
he might be recalled. On direct exami-
nation Wilkerson said he was not
actuated by any reward in investigat-
1ng the villisca murder and also de-
tailed the enlightenment he said he got
upon coming to- Red Oak with Mans

had then employed legal counsel. On
