q discussion about the employment OF
a secretary Of the minimum wage
commission. alleged by Walker to have
been employed without his advice.
Wenzel said his law was sore for a
week."
Questioned by Shafer about testi-
mony given by Peter Timboe, chief
claim clerk for the compensation
bureau. that Wenzel had made q
| pass" at him. the witness denied this,
declaring he never Offered or at
tempted" to strike Timboe.
Charges Go Back to 10
Wenzel's work as secretary Of the
bar association has figured promin-
emily in the hearing. He has testified
these duties did not interfere with his
work as compensation commissioner
The witness and the prosecutor
clashed as Ellsworth referred to Wen
eel as lobbying during the 1919 and
1921 sessions against the workmen's
compensation act, then under con-
sideration.
Wenzel denied he appeared before
the legislative committees in 1919 and
resented references to his lobbying"
declared he presented information to
the insurance committee in 1921 in
behalf Of the state employers associa-
ton. of which he was then secretary.
Ellsworths questioning led Wenzel
to remark. Il prefer to make my own
statements as to what I thought"
bringing a retort from Ellsworth I'm
not trying to tell you what you
thought"
You're trying to put words in my
mouth" Wenzel said in another in
stance.
Please don't try to tell me what
I'm trying to d." Ellsworth replied.
When Ellsworth inquired whether
Wenzel, as commissioner represent
ing the employers, did not seek to hold
claims down to the lowest figure,
Wenzel began to explain that before
taking the position on the compensa-
ton bureau he explained that he
would act to protect the employee as
we'll as the employer. when &C
copied the appointment I presented
certain facts to the employers" Wen
Eel testified II told them since was

sources"
Don't Lecture Me,
Ellsworth interrupted to say when

cucumber the record with lecture"
Special Commissioner Clifford asked
Wenzel to confine himself to brief
answers.
Wenzel continued with his answer,
saying he told the employers that II
they wanted the kind Of administra-
ton he outlined he would take the
position, otherwise to get someone
else.
The questioning regarding that
point was dropped after Ellsworth
asked do you consider that an an

Governor LANCER. who was expected

whether you are right or I an
right will be determined by thu
courts" Wenzel replied.
During a clash between Ellsworth
and Wenzcl regarding this subject
Shafer interposed an objection tina
the question was obviously unfair
tended to disturb the witness" ane
was an indulgence Of personalities.
Ellsworth then questioned Wenze
as to whether he was aware that
political references are rather rulec
out" by the bar association In the
meetings and in connection with bar
Briefs" the publication Of the ba1
association.
4 don't know what you are talk
ing about" Wenzel replied.
Audience Gets . Laugh
The russell between the two brought
laughs from the audience and the
warning from Clifford that this Is
not q theatre; il you want to laugh,

ing from that point concerned Wen
zels activities as editor of the Bar
Briefs and as secretary Of the bar
association.
Ellsworth entered into the record q
copy Of Bar Briefs" containing q
caption Believe It or Not" and out
lining two laws enacted by the last
legislature.
Asked If this was intended to crit
icize the legislature, Wenzel said
absolutely not A wrangle ensued
between the witness and the prose-
cutor on this point, with Ellsworth
contending the title was intended to
convey the idea that the legislature
had done something 'monstrous."
Shafer objected to the questioning,
declaring Il can't imagine the rela-
ton this line Of questioning has to the
case" He said he saw nothing wrong
in the article. adding II think you
ELLSWORTH have the wrong notion as
to the meaning or content"
Ellsworth insisted the article was an
attempt to 'lampoon the legislature"
Wenzel replied 1t was only intended to
inform lawyers who might doubt that
the laws were enacted, and that the
title was suggested by remark made
by another lawyer.
Another copy Of the BAR Briefs"
was entered as an exhibit by Ellis
worth who inquired about the article
in it captioned Lay on McDuff." It
quoted part Of newspaper article
saying Gov. LANCER, in q speech in
Nebraska, recommended to the gov

ton be disregarded II 1t prohibited a

clared in North Dakota.
