a charge that Governor a. +,
Happy Chandler had been "polS-
uncd" as a "deliberate hoax fur

J. w. Bryan, hotel physician, who

governors illness was caused by
drinking water which had been
"doctored with poison" He added
later that n believed the poi
son" was u direct attempt on the
governors lie.
Stewart, describing the phySi-
clans charges as political bed
time story" said:
Or. Bryan signed an affidavit
to the effect that he believed the
governor had been poisoned. He
cannot get another reputable ply
stefan to agree with him and our
investigation proves the whole
thing is hoax"
Burman said the first attempt
on Chambers life occurred near
Covington when he became i'll AT
