Burns, detective of inter- national fame, in his sworn testl- haony, said records yet to come will provo Governor Coleman L. Blease has been grafting both as governor nod State eeaator. Following are ex tracts from Burns’ testimony: “I think the people themselves have become convinced that where there is sufficient proof the day has gone by wheb the persona-! feel ing of the people themselves will permit men to go unpunished. It " has been said many, many times that a legislative investigation has never amounted to miything but to whitewash. In the way you are go- log at this I am perfectly satisfied yon are going to see that Justice will be done to every mc.n and are not going to smirch anybody for aptte. The evidence will be there and if it does not convince we will not participle lo it. We are going to continue In this matter until tne close.” Q. By Mr. Evans: Would this evidence connect in any we-y the present governor w.th the affairs of the State dispensary*? A. Yes, sir. Coloi».-l Felder’s statement to him covered the whole situation. Q. By Senator Clifton: Mr. Burns, did your investigation and the reports mr-de to you by the investigators under your charge show whether or not the present goverbor of South Carolina was guilty of grafting, either as gov ernor or State Senator; connected with the old 9tc.te dispensary? A. I would prsfsr that you wait until you get the records on that. Q. Reports made to you will show that? A. Yes. sir. Q Will you show' the present governor has been guilty of grafting ’ -I sover.*jr or State senator, ,n con nection with the liquor lass of South Carolina^ A. Yes, sir. GOVERNOR IN A HOLE.
