PAGE FOUR~ THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1944 s State Witness Hemans Reveals Bribes in Graft Case mm Testifier Hired By Financiers I To 'Fix' Laws Five Finance Firms Involved by Testimony By The Associated Press MASON, Mich., July 7.-Major Charles F. Hemans, Lansing lobbyist giving State's evidence in the legis- lative graft conspiracy trial; today began a recitation of bribes he said he had paid to members of the 1939 Michigan Legislature, and testified that he had been hired by defendant finance company officials to "fix" v Rev. Pickerill Made Chaplain Co. C Addressed By Dr. Blakeman Rev. H, L. Pickerill, director of the Congregational-Disciples Guild, was named yesterday to serve -as civilian chaplain to the newly formed Co. C on campus. At the same time, members from the company volunteered to serve on a chaplaincy committee. Members who will be selected from this group Wednesday will represent the several religious traditions. At a meeting of the entire person- nel of Co. C yesterday, Dr. Edward W. Blakeman, University religious counselor, spoke on the three orien- tations that students must make in school. Personal integration, adjust- ment to society and orientation to the cosmic were emphasized as the essen- tials. A study made of the transition of high school boys to college life was used in his talk to bring out the fou: patterns of purpose, decision, societal and sensitivity that lead toward suc- cessful adjustment. Tuberculosis Will Be Studied ly 33 Persons Learning to fight tuberculosis by preventing it, 33 nurses, teachers and social workers from 18 states are attending an intensive six weeks course at the University on scholar- ships provided by the National Tu- berculosis Association. The course is given by the Univer- sity's School of Public Health, while the scholarships are an example of the work made possible by Christmas Seal purchases. The work itself deals with control of TB by public health measures, particularly on the edu- cational side. The states and number from each are: Texas 6, Virginia 4, Louisiana 3, Pennsylvania 3, Kentucky 2, South Carolina 2, Ohio 2, and one each from Oklahoma, Alabama, Arkansas, Cali- fornia, North Carolina, New Mexico, Tennessee, New York, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana. A second unusual group at the School of Public Health are eight French-speaking men from the prov- ince of Quebec. the lawmakers. Hemans is one of the prosecution's chief witnesses in the trial of five finance company officials and 17 past and present members of the legislature, charged in a grand jury warrant with conspiracy to corrupt the making of laws through an ex- change of bribes. Witness Names Defendants In a clear, firm voice, the witness named in turn all of the finance defendants who, he said, hired him at a meeting in Detroit in December. 1939, to represent them as a lobbyist with the frank understanding tha he would have to "buy votes" in the legislature. Then, one by one, Hemans began naming legislative defendants to whom, he testified, he paid graft, in addition to plying them with food and strong drink to win control of their votes on bills affecting business interests of the finance company de- fendants. He listed bribes totaling $1,750 which he said he paid to ten of the legislator-respondents. Dozen Employ Lobbyist Defendants Abraham Cooper, John E. Hancock, George Omacht, Mark S. Young and Samuel N. Hopkins, who are on trial, and Ernest J. Prew, who has pleaded guilty, were members of a group of "about a dozen" finance men, Hemans tetified who employed him to lobby in the legislature. He said he told this group "what they would have to do to protect hemselves" in the legislature, and that this would include making "pay- ment tolegislators to influence their votes" on certain bills. He said he told them money would be 'needed1 also to buy whisky and meals for legislators, and that the group agreed to pay him a fee of $2,500 and reim- burse him for his expenses in doing these things. Smoke Filled Room Later, he said, Omacht, Hancock, Prew and Cooper conferred with him In his Lansing hotel room and agreed on a strategy of "payments to be made to various members of the leg- islature- senators, representatives and committeemen - who would guarantee that the bill would be adopted satisfactory to the finance people."
