Mason, Mich, July 22--AP-The
jury In the Legislative graft con-
spiracy trial today had conflicting
stories concerning trips two of
the defendant legislators made to
Washington and Baltimore, Md,
to discuss with the lobbyist, Ma
ior Charles F. Hemans, progress Of
the grand jury which finally &C.
cused all three of them OF crimes
Senator Leo J. Wilkowski and
Rep. Francis J. Nowak, Detroit
Democrats testified that Hemans
became nervous" in the fall of
1913 and called them to a Wash
ington conference to discuss the
probe. and there told them he new
er had bribed any legislator.
Hemans, who has been granted
immunity from prosecution in ex-
change for giving states evidence
against alleged CO conspirators,
had testified that II was Wilkowski
and Nowak who became worried
and visited him on those occasions,
quizzing him as to whether he
planned TO return to Michigan and
tell the grand jury "the truth.
He and Joseph C.. Roosevelt, his
assistant, have named all Of II
legislative defendants in the case
as men they said they bribed, and
have identified the other five de-
PENDANTS, officials of finance COM
panies. as the men who put up the
money.
Both legislators said repeatedly
that Hemans insisted" to them
although his name at that time
was being linked with the grand
jury probe, he had done no wrong.
They quoted Hemans as telling
them he had fired Roosevelt be-
cause Roosevelt asked him for re-
endorsement for money paid or
promised to legislators when. as a
matter OF fact, Hemans had inves-
tigated and learned no such pay
offs had been made by Roosevelt.
They related their stories in d.
rect examination by Defense Attor-
ney Lloyd d. Parr, and stuck to
them In cross examination by spe-
cial Prosecutor Kim Sigler. who
stormed and called Nowak smart
guy.
