that State's Attorney Wayman would be
governor of Illinois, and that he expected
to be made warden of the state peniten
tiary. He told me to keep my mouth
shut and I would not have to stay In the
police department.

president of the Illinois Federation of
Labor had brought hlin word from the
governor of the state that he need not
be afraid of being put In Jail for any
testimony he had given."

Governor Deneen?" was nsked.
"That's what he said."
"Did Whit tell you that he had sworn
falsely against lirownc?" asked Senator
Kenyon.
"Yes."
"Did you report that to anybody?''
"Yes, to Wayman's assistant."
"Why didn't you tell Browne or his at
torneys?" "I don't know."
"Yet you never told of this when
Browne was on trial for his liberty?"
"No, I did not."
