ORDER FOR HEARING ON PETITION
TO SELL REAL ESTATE
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-12
A. No. | wouIdn't say that.

1 A. No. I wouldn't say that.
 e. Well, you regarded this inter rogation before the states attorney as more or less an inquisition. Didn't you?
 Record:
 c. He said he might get rid of the records? A. Yes. | e. Records in the office of the controller?
 A. Controllers office. He said he might get rid of them. Aside from record:
 o. Have you got any personal knowledge that he might get rid of them "in my office, meaning the controllers office? When he used the word "my", it referred to his office, didn't it?
 A. Oh, yes.
 o. What did Mackenzie say when he said that?
 A. Well, frankly, I think that Mackenzie was surprised and I cer- tainly was surprised myself because never heard of any plan in con- nection with it. Q. At that time, had he told you that any office records had dis appeared?
 A. My opinion is that none of them had disappeared at that time.
 o. Your recollection was that none had disappeared at that time. So, if any records were-I'll use the word destroyed = after that meeting of December p, 1897, you didn't know about it? A. No.
 Saw Newspapers
 Q. And the next you heard about the records was when you saw the 1 publicity in the paper? A. That is right.
 o. Was anything said at that time about your vouchers or checks?
 A. No.
 o. Did you question any names of any men who were in his office?
 A. No.
 Q. Did you question the name of Alderman? | A. Who?
 o. Alderman. Didn't you ever hear of that name? A. The only Alderman I know was the Alderman in New Haven. I went to school with him.
 0. Are you quite sure that you told the jury truhtfully the division that you made with Mackenzie of the moneys that you received from the legislative sessions of 1935-37, including the money that you re- ceived from the City of Waterbury?
 A. MT. Alcorn, on the distribu- tion of moneys, I have tried to give this jury an accurate statement of exactly what took place. Now, I realize, too, that I am in a position where I could prove nothing. Nobody has appreciated that situation more than have. Anybody could say that I haven't parted with a nickel
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-12

Grand jury testimony of Charles E. Williamson of Darien, on his initial three arraignments, showed, when read in the superior court trial of the Waterbury conspiracy case yesterday, that Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn charged him with holding back the truth, before he made his alleged confession on March %.
 I'm telling that to you as look you in the eye" Alcorn told William son on one occasion during ques- tioning concerning meeting in Danbury with Daniel J. Leary and Harry Mackenzie, You're not tell ing the truth"
 For hours, Attorney James D. c. Murray read the transcript of Will liamson's testimony yesterday. Testi- mony given on three occasions by
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-12

Former U. s. Senator, Repub- lican, Named Welfare Commis- sioner in Deal With Waterbury Democrats.
 Williamson, the witness claims was false. The portion being read at the close of court yesterday, William son claims, is whole truth.
 1t deals with his admission that he split fees with Leary and Mac kenzie for lobbying in the interests of the City of Waterbury. Williamson testified before the grand jury, on his final and truth fun appearance, that when he un- dertook to lobby for the city he expected no compensation.
 He said that the first intimation he had that he would be paid was when Mackenzie came to him and said that man was going to re- ward them for their afforts.
 T thought that in helping Water bury might help myself in a few items in which I was interested" said Williamson, claiming he an- ticipated no compensation.
 After the split was made, behind the locked doors of the Crows Nest, in 1885, the witness claims he told Mackenzie, T did not like it, because in 30 years practice I have never had blotch on my record. told Mackenzie I did not like it. Mac kenzie told me that is the way they financed their campaigns in the City of Waterbury"
 Williamson also spread on the records a further allegation of con- nivance and compromise between opposing forces in the appointment of Welfare Commissioner Frederic c. Walcott.
 In 1895 Williamson said, when Wal colt was seeking the appointment, he was opposed by several forces in- cluding what was known as the Hayes-Leary combine.
 At the same time efforts were be- ing made to have the famed Steam Sterilizer bill passed. Noah Swayne, representative, and friend of Wal cott's was the leader of forces in opposition to the Sterilizer bill.
 Leary Opposed WaIcott
 Williamson was asked by 8 juror, "As I understand you, Leary was opposed to Walcott Ca republican, at first.
 I don't think there is any doubt about that" replied Williamson.
 Why did he changer" the juror asked.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-12

and I couldn't prove a thing. I can't do that.
 Aside from Record: Q. Were you asked those ques- tions, MT. Williamson, about the division of money and did you make those answers?
 A. believe so.
 Emphatic
 O. And you made, did you not, answers to questions about the di- vision of money as emphatic as you could make them before the grand jury?
 A. believe so.
 Q. And you intended by that em- phasis to let the grand jury know that you were telling what was the absolute fact in the situation? A. I believe so.
 Further on:
 Q. Everything that you have said, would you be willing to tell the same story before the trial jury, re- gardless of who the accused may be?
 A. Certainly.
 Aside from Record:
 Q. Did you regard it, MT. Will Hanson, as an ordeal?
 A. Yes.
 Q. You thought you were being put on the "rack?" Didn't you? A. To degree.
 o. And isn't it fact that you were almost willing to say anything to get out of the grand jury room ito get away?
 A. Well, in my confusion, think I would have been glad to get out of it at any time.
 Later on:
 Meets Hickey
 @. We'll, did you go to see MT. Alcorn when you went to change your story on your last appearance before the grand jury?
 A. No.

City's Records Burned,
 Williamson Testifies

Hours of questioning to which Charles E. Williamson was subjected to by the grand jury in connection with a secret meeting with Daniel J. Leary and Harry Mackenzie were revealed in the reading of grand jury testimony yesterday by Defense Attorney James D. c. Murray. The various stories which Williamson told are also indicated:
 Record:
 e. Do you expect the grand jury to believe that when you left Bridge port and drove to Danbury on that particular day, you didn't have any purpose in going?
 A. I had none, then.
 Aside from the record:
 e. When MT. Alcorn told you that he didn't believe you when he looked in your eye, did that frighten you-didn't that have any influence at all in later making this change of what you claimed was the truth in your appearances before the grand jury?
 A. NO.
 e. Did you feel that you were be- ing ''buliied?"
 A. No.
 o. And what MT. Alcorn has said to you didn't impress you at all. Is that right?
 A. wouldn't say that.
 e. Went in one ear and out the other?
 A. I wouldn't say that.
 e. Without any influence on your pnind at all
 A. It may have had some infiu- Hnce on my hind.
 RecofU:
 e. After Leary came in, did you have any purpose in stayings
 A. No.
