Burton K. Wheeler today took the
witness stand in his trial on q
charge of misuse of office.

of his relations as attorney with
Gordon Campbell, oil magnate, re-
lations which the indictment
charges were illegal.

chair and spoke in p clear, firm
voice. His first words were direct
ed to refuting sensational prosecu-
tion testimony given by George b.
Hayes, New York attorney. who
said Wheeler had attempted in
March, 1923, to interest him in q
shady oil deal to make "millions. "
"I never saw Hayes i'm my life
until he was introduced to me In
Washington in 1924, a year after
he saws he met me in New York, -
Wheeler said.
"a. b. Melzner and Henry Steel,
who We're assisting in the invcstiga-
tion, introduced him to me. I met
him in the ante,chambcr of the
committee room before he went on
the stand to testify regarding the
Gorini bootlegging case.
81 never at any time talked to
HAYES about Campbell 5 affairs.
Wheeler leaned over and talked
directly to the jury which sat along
side of him. He told them intimate
details of how he and his wife went
shopping in New York on the day
Hayes said he met him.
All details of how he spent the
day were related.
Il was in a Fifth Avenue store
shopping at the time he says he
met me in the Waldorf lobby, -
Wheeler said.
