Did you spend any more than you
received?" Senator Nye asked.
Eyes, $3.15.".
"It has been charged that there was
very lavish use of money in your coun-
ty." Senator Nye said.
Big Sums Reported Spent.
Eyes, there have been reports of i'm
mense amounts spent in Will County
Mr.. Laraway said. Il was told at one
time by a Deneen worker that a man
who gave his name as Groh was in
vestigating my expenditures.
"As a matter of fact. in the State
Senate campaign, between Senator Barr
and Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Neill, there
was great deal of money spent. but
there was no link between the State
Senator race and the United States SEN
atorial campaign"
Charles H. Green Of Freeport, Mrs.
McCormick's manager in Stephenson
County, said he had received no money
and that he paid $40 to himself for the
distribution of posters, an amount later
returned to him. A small sum for post
age constituted the only other outlay,
he said.
S35 Spent by Manager.
Michael F. Walsh of Harvard, Nc
Henry County manager for Mrs. Nc
Cormick. set his campaign disburse-
ments at S35, which he paid himself.
He said he received nothing from her
or her organization: that his county had
always been a stanch Mccormick sup
porter and remained such.
Leach explained his failure to be
available as a witness in July and was
absolved of blame in the record. He
thought he had been excused.
He told of his negotiations with a
public utility for campain contribu-
ton,
II believe 1t to be fact that the
public utilities not only support candi-
dates for the United States Senate, but
candidates for our own State As
sembly," he said, when he was ex-
cused.
Senator Clarence C. Dill will return
to Washington tonight, Senator Robert
Wagner will leave for New York today
and Senator Roscoe Patterson of Mis-
souri, left for Kansas City at noon
Though barred from the evidence, the
tapped phone charges continued to bob
into the probe. Photographs of the
phone circuit, which Mrs. Mccormick,
Republican senatorial nominee, claimed
tapped the line to her home at Byron,
III. were laid before the Senate Investi-
eating Committee yesterday by T. B.
Thompson, publisher of the Rockford,
Ill. Daily Republic, owned by Mrs. Nc
Cormick.
The photographs we're taken last Sun
day, Thompson said, when he was called
as witness to testify whether or not
the Republican candidate had become
financially interested in the newspaper
in order to further her campaign. The
photographs were not admitted as evil
dence, but the members of the COM
mittee inspected them.
Charge Not Definite.
Chairman Nye then told Thomp-
son. unless you are definitely prepared
to declare that this committee, a mem
Der of it or an employe was responsible
for this wire tapping we are not inclined
to carry our investigation any further"
Senator Nye also said, mo member of
this committee, no person employed by
this committee had done anything Of
this kind"
The committee again denied the plea
OF Attorney General oscar Carlstrom
of Illinois that he be allowed to present
a statement in defense of Mrs. McCor-
mick.
Mrs. Mccormick, in a statement last
night, attacked that of Nye by asserting
that cit is a fact that agents of the
committee have tapped wires and that
these operations were in connection
with the investigation being conducted
by the committee" She said her only
conclusion was that "the reason the
chairman ha9 finally refused to hear
those witnesses who, she said, would
prove her chafges, was that he is afraid
to hear them"
