Onopening the investiatiou Chairman Carliske stated that Govern'dr Blease had been noti fied by the marshal that the committee ,would It. at noon Thursday and that it would be glad to hear anything that he would care to tell concening the late dispensary's afairs. governor Blease zent baci the answer that he had made all communications that he desired to make to the committee in his message last year and that he did not car.- to be bothered any more about the nIatter. - Two witnesses were sworn Former Governor John Gary Evans and Attorney General Lyon. The principal tes-ivtiony of general interest was to the ef fect that Governor Bltase's charge that an agreenient had been made between John Gary Evans, H. H. Evans, Thos. B. Felder and Attorney General Lyon was false. It was branded by both witnesses as absolutelv without truth. Mr. John Gary Evans of Spar tartburg, former governor of the State, was thz first witness he fore the investigating commit tee. He was asked by Senator Clifton if he knew anything of any agreement made in Atlanta between J. G. Evans, H. H1. Evans, Attorney General Lvou. T. B. Felder, and Evans r eplied that there was no founda tion in. fact for the statement that an agreement of such a nature and been m'ade. H' branded as false any such state ment. Governor Blease had said that such an agrement h:..i been made. Mr. Evans said he hai neve seen any of those O lme outside of the~ State and that none of these genitle~men had ever talked n ith him as to their connection with the former State dispensary. He had never had any conference with oelder and he did not know what Gov ernor Blease's intention was in making a statdment or such na ture as that conmcerning the al leged areement Mr. Evans stated that he had had a conversation with Felder on a passenger train and th 3t Velder had said he conid give Attorney General L yon evide ne that would lead to the con>ie-~ tion of whiskey men and othkis who had grafted on the State dispensary.
