T never gave those two pay ments to Russell T. Sherwood" d," Walker declared.
 Thereupon Samuel Seabury, chief complainant against the may or, offered the governor cheeks in evidence to show Walkers connec- ton with the transaction. "The whole thing is supposi- tion," Walker burst in angrtly, that got $15,000 on June 9. and held 1t till June 17 when gave it to Sherwood"
 The name of Sailing W. Baruch & company, the brokerage firm that handled the Block Walker &C., count, was frequently brought into the testimony, in the governors attempts to trace payments in a double-play-BlocK to Walker to Sherwood.
 Have you any knowledge that checks paid by Sherwood to your sister (Mfs Nan Walker Burke) came from the Block account 2" the governor asked.
 'I have knowledge from the in- vestigation," the mayor answered.
