EX-COv. GRAHAM
ACCUSED DIRECT
BY SUCCESSOR
Gates Says Graham : Admitted
Taking Funds
TO PREVENT BANKRUPTCY
Graham Was at That Time Threaten
ed with Financial Ruin BY
Senator c. S. Page

Montpelier, Jan 27-Test'mony that
former Gov. Horace F. Graham, once
said that he took money from the
state when he was aud tor in order to
prevent United States Senator Carroll
s. Page from instituting bankruptcy
proceedings against. him, was given
today in the trial of Graham for EN-
bezziement Of State funds.
The witness, Benjam Gates, the
present State Aud tor, said that Ora
ham made this statement to him
add ng that he would give his enti e
salary to reimburse the State. Gates
said he told Graham that he ought
not to use his whole salary, but
should retain enough to live on.
In cross-exam nation, Auditor
Gates said the former Governor paid
the STATE s19,8S0. He was asked
about an alleged additional cred t
for Graham OF $534S and another OF
sl100 but said that he did not know
anyth ne about them, and had not
heard that these sums had been paid
to the State Treasurer.
When the state questioned the ma.
tarial ty of questions asked by the de,
tense as TO accompanying Mr.. Graham
to farnil arize himself with the duties
OF exam ming the accounts of county
clerks, Mr.. Stickney made a reference
to half truths and the respondents
desire to bring out the full facts.
This brought Attorney General Arch.
bald to his feet Said he: 1t has been
repeatedly asserted here that the state
Is trying to suppress the truth. The
state has no such des re and the ac,
cusation Is unwa ranted. What the
" tness did to famil arize himself with
his duties has nothing to do W TIL the
case, so far as am personally con
cerned and SO far-as it has bean urged
by counsel OF the state. If there Is
anything that warrants such accusa
ton ! want 1t 20 nted out. That charge
has been made by my brother Stickney
repeatedly In the presence of the Jury
by d rect words or innuendoes."
Judge Butler rema ked that there
was nothing to show SO far that there
was a desire to suppress the truth. A
conference followed at the bench.
Mr. Gates testified on cross examina.
tion further that he received no infor,
mat'or from Mr. Graham on how to
run the office when he took charge. He
said he got his informal on f ON Mr.,
IJoslin and other clerks and from OBJ.

said he did not have the impression
that Mr.. Graham was not willing to
