BASIS OF WARRANT

The perjury warrant is based
on the fact that Stenson. queS-
toned this week in the grand jury
room by Special Prosecutor Kim
Sigler. denied that he had &C
cepted money to influence his vote
on the anti-branch banking bill
Alleged bribery in connection
with this bill during the l94l Ses-
sion brought about the present
far-reaching inquiry.
Judge Carr's warrant indicated
that he believes the Upper PENN
sula Republican lawmaker may
have been paid bride by another
member Of the House or Senate.

KEY FIGURE IN JURY

Stenson. who lives in Greenland
in the Upper Peninsula. was a key
figure in the early days of the
grand jury. He told a story al
that time OF finding $3.50 in ms
pocket on one occasion and 81 900
in large bills on another.
Demanding a thorough inquiry
Of graft in the capitol, the legis-
lstor declared the $3.50 was re-
moved from his pocket without his
knowledge, presumably by the
man who placed il there, and that
he returned the $1,000 package OF
bills 10 a mysterious man in a
gray suit whom he did not know.
