said today: IF the defense seeks to
show reimbursement or payment, we do
not see why the state cannot ascertain
where the money came FROM"
The defense may be expected to stub
bornly contest publicity for the list. One
of the counsel for the respondent said
this morning, Il do not see where Mr.
Graham received the money to square
his account with the state is material in
this case What difference does it make

commended for any circumstances IN

stroyer, Jacob Jones, because Com
