the prominent Socialist Roman Ma-
llnowuky, friend and protegee ot the
"bolshevik," Lenine whose attempts
to overthrow the provisional govern-
ment are making such a stir.
Ualinowsky's career, according to
the commission, began with pocket-
picking and burglarly for which In
Moacow he was many times convicted.
Fifteen years ago Mallnowsky decid-
ed to enter politics and became as-
sociated with the semi-revolutionary
Socialist party, to whom his criminal
record was unknown. He showed
such revolutionary fervor that he
rapidly advanced: became a friend
of the Socialist Nikolai Lenine, who
waa then living in exile abroad.
An Expert Spy
In 1810 the commission discovered,
Mallnowsky began to cooperate with
the "Okhrana." or Police Security De-
partment, using his position with the
revolutionaries In order to obtain
facts. His plan was to spy and egg
on his comrades into demonstrations
and political crimes, and.then betray
them. He was taken on at first at
$25 a month; but soon so distinguish-
ed himself as spy and informer that
he was promoted; and was sent
abroad by the police to watch and in-
cite emigrant revolutionaries. He still
kept Lenlne's confidence and this en-
abled him to carry out his police
work efficiently.
For two years Mallnowsky steadily
rose in favor both of the revolution-
aries and of the police. In May 1912,
he was elected Duma member. Both
revolutionaries and police,
to one another, rejoiced.

Letter to Beaumont Court.
Regarding the letter to the Beau-
mont court of civil appeals concerning
the decision In the Dayton Lumber
case, which he said he regarded as the
"greatest judicial blunder" ever
known, the governor said he had
nothing to conceal.
"I was concerned in the case," he
said. "It made legal surveys that took
from people land they had owned for
ten years. I would have said nothing
If Judge A. G. Brook hadn't had the
nerve to write me a letter asking me
to recommend him politically."
Not Influencing Fuller.
The governor declared he had never
sought to influence Speaker Fuller re-
garding any legislation.
He said he talked with Fuller and
unknown j Representative Bagby concerning the
Mallnowsky | prohibition amendment before the
became so valuable that his salary legislature at the last session, the rural

from the police was raised to $250 a
month. This, with his salary as Duma
member, gave him an Income of $5,-
000 a year. He drew continued praise
for his admirable revolutionary work
as Duma -member; and reported
everything to the Security Depart-
ment. His speeches were carefully
prepared in advance. Some were
written by Lenine, arid all were sub-
mitted before delivery to the I'olice.
The Enquiry Commission found cor-
rected drafts of the speeches In the
Police offices.
Comes Under Suspicion
Suspicion eventually fell on Malln-
owsky. But l^enlno ridiculed the as-
persion that Mallnowsky was a spy;
and by fresh attacks on the Govern-
ment Mallnowsky apparently proved
his sincerity. In 1911 he led the ex-
treme left's assault on Prime Min-
ister Goremykin, led It so stormlly
that he and twenty-one supporters
were excluded from the sessions or a
fortnight. Then Assistant Minister
of the Interior DJunkowsky discover-
ed what was already known to his
chief-—rthat the revolutionist Duma
member was a spy and provocateur,
and he Informed M. Rodzianko,
speaker of the Duma. Ho declared,
however, that there must be no police
scandal. Mallnowsky was allowed to
resign his seat. The police continued
to pay him his full salary; and he was
sent abroad.
Facta Come To Light.
When suspicion again fell on him,
his case was brought before a party
court; and he was triumphantly ac-
quitted, there being "no proof what-
school bill, highway bill and other
matters which wire platform pledges.
"I told them something ought to be
done," he explained, "but I had in
mind merely our platform demands."
Hanger read the thirteenth and last
charge, regarding the governor's $600
loan to Fuller.
Calls Fuller to Face Him.
The governor turned to Fuller, who
was back of him, and asked the
had held that you couldn't use money
from the $2,009 appropriation for
groceries?" he asked.
"I know of It," said the witness.
''All right," conUnued Crane. 'Then
have you made any effort since the
March hearing to reimburse the state
for such expenditures?"
"Not in the least,".replied Mr. Fer-
guson. "I never understood the mat-
ter that way."
"As governor do you consider It
proper public policy to disregard
supreme court decision pending final
action of a motion for rehearing?"
, "That depends on (Circumstances."
The witness told of engaging coun-
sel to carry up the decision of Judge
Calhoun to the supreme court. Judge
Calhoun having dissented from Justice
Fly. *
"Isn't it a fact," asked Crane, "that
this action to obtain a writ of error in
the supreme court was more In the
Interest of the man who then hap-
pened to be governor than the people
of Texas?"
"I don't know that. There was an
injustice in holding the governor to a
$4,000 salary in view of the expense
of maintaining his position. It should
ha*« been remedied."
"Every court in the state is against
you; isn't that true?"
"Yes," said the governor.
"And still you have not paid back
that money? You have disregarded
the courts?"
"The legislature was against the
court, too. As soon as the legislature
says it wanls the money, I'll give it my
check."
Crane asked about the $49,000 de-
posited in the Temple State bank by j bank
terested had violated the hanking
laws and had perjured Itself in its
statements.
"Do you mean to say that I commit-
ted perjury?" asked Mr. Crane.
"I mean tQ say the officers of your
bank perjured themselves."
Crane Calls Ills Hand.
"That Is denied," replfed Crane ve-
hemently. "You can't get by with
this sort of stuff, governor. Just an-
swer my questions."
The governor said if the law were
enforced, every banker In the state
would go to the penitentiary.
The governor admitted that he had
made arrangements to prosecute Lee
McMasters of Amarillo for the same
things he had done in a banking way.
The witness denied he had violated
the "spirit of the law."
Getting hack to the $5,600 debit in
the governor's official account. Crane
asked if It was not ft fact that the
governor had not drawn from his spe-
cial account practically all of the de-
posits before the Dayton lumber case
was finally settled.
"Four-fifths of that money was
mine," said the governor.
"Haven't you been sued for nn ac-
counting by Mr. Mansfield (one of the
litigants) ?"
"In the last few days there has
been an attempt to blackmail me."
Crane read from the penal code re-
garding misapplying of public funds,
and the penalty of penitentiary im-
prisonment.
Ho inquired if the governor was fa-
miliar with the law's terms when he
permitted $250,000 to be deposited in
the American National bank of Aus-
tin to the credit of the Temple State
speaker to sit In front of him so he
could see him. He then said:
"That was after the meeting was
held that signed a statement that Abi-
lene was finally selected for the West
Texas A. & M. matter. Fuller came
to my office and said his congressional

needed sohie financial help. I asked

The money in the Temple and Heid-

"I won't insist on anything."
"What did you do to Major Ltttle-
fieW—didn't you take $250,000 of
of state funds from the American Na-
tional bank the day he voted to keep
Dr. Vinson?"
"It was taken away before then."
The witness said he didn't believe
he was discourteous in telling Dr. Vin-
son he wasn't picked to head the uni-
versity because he was capable of do
ing so.
Challenged by Crane.
Discussing the difference between
his act in buying groceries from the
legislative appropriation and univer
sity professors acts in charging full
fare for mileage books, the governor
said his statements showed facts and
expense accounts did not.
"Weren't groceries shown In your
statements as being 'Incidentals'?"
"Yes," replied the governor.
"Governor," asked Crane, "do you
'ntend to continue to remove regents
who won't do your bidding?"
"I won't shirk my duty when
think any of those men are not doing
ail they ought to," said the witness.
The governor said, when asked, if
he had not appointed Brents, Allen.
Kelly, Matthews and Love so they
would oust Vinson that he had not
but he thought a better man might
be obtained.
He said there was no agreement to
"fire" Vinson as soon as the present
investigation is over.
What Co-operation Means.
He added that when he spoke of
the regents' co-operation he meant
their aid in being with him in the
Vinson matter.
"Whom did you have in mfnd to suc-
ceed Vinson? Did you think of Su-
perintendent of Education Doughty?"
"Yes, and others."
"How about Dr. Axson, President
Wilson's brother-in-law ?"
"Well, they are considering him, I
understand."
The governor said Dr. Axson was
"a plumb big one," and he wouldn't
oppose him. He added that he thought
Doughty a good man. He was a grad-
uate of Baylor, he said, but had tak-
en two or three summer courses at
Chicago university.

The governor co tinued that Fuller
explained he could not repay the gov-
crnot quickly, and he rejoined that he
understood.
"I theri drew up a $500 note to run
two years at 6 per cent and gave the
speaker a check for $100 and $100 in
currency- five twenty dollar bills.
"I started to givo the speaker a
check for $500, but he said he needed
some money, so I turned over the $100
in currency.
Simply Loaned Money.
"I loaned Fuller that money as to a
friend. I never dreamed of the re-
sult. I was looking for no help from
him. lie was looking for help from
me. lie didn't have money to help
him on his campaign."
The governor said there Was abso-
lutely frothing in the deal to indicate
any attempt on his part to influence
Fuller in any way.
"Nothing was said regarding (he
signing of the statement that Abilene
was fairly chosen," continued the wit-
ness.

"You topk the Canyon City Insur-

the treasurer so that he would place
it in state depositories and draw more
interest, didn't you?" asked Crane.
"Yes, I did," said the governor.
Crane aske the governor about his
j statement that the state deposits were
"I Couldn't hold the state, treasurer

Crane questioned the governor about
taking $60,000 of state funds to the

"Didn't you try to use that $60,000

said the state funds just "helped the

his veto. The writer spoke of himself
as an alumnus of the university who
wns "not craisy but ready to kill you."
He told Mr. Ferguson if he vetoed
the bill he would "wake up In hell
inside of three months."
The governor read another letter
apparently from the same person,
written In July, e
Assassination Postponed.
The writer said he had been with
the governor during his speaking tour
of west Texas and at Valley Mills,
where ho almost decided to "finish"
the governor. He added, however,
he was waiting (o see what the board
of regents would do, and had changed
his plans to kill the governor accord-
ingly. He described himself as 50
years old and without dependents.
"I don't know whether these let-
ters were written at Instigation of the
university." said the witness, "but 1
do know It was written by a person
Of evident education."
„ This ended the governor's direct
testimony. .
Cross Examination Begun.
M. M. Crane, counsel for the house,
began the cross examination by asking
about the mansion expenditures. He
asked of the governor if he had ever
paid back to the state funds used
from the $2,000 appropriation for
fuel, light, Ice water and incidentals
which were alleged to have been paid
for groceries, meats, etc.
"I never understood anyone wanted
me to pay back that money," said the
governor. "If the legislature wants
me to do so, I will do so."
Previous Testimony Recalled.
Mr. Crane read from the governor's
testimony at the first hearing in which
the governor testified that If the su-
preme court refused to reopen the
"chicken salad" cases he would pay
back such funds.
"Didn't you know that Judge Fly

"The $5,600 which you paid In set-
tlement of a note on Aug. 23, 1915.
could not have been paid from that
special fund, as you havo claimed,
could It?" he asked.
"Well," said the governor, "three-
fourths of that money was mine."
Afternoon Session.
In the afternoon Crane asked If the
governor did not recall that in 1916
the word "groceries' 'was stricken
from the mansion appropriation bill.
The governor said he did not.
Mr. Crane asked If it was not a fact
that his account and the Bell-Bosque
account were not greatly overdrawn
in 1915 and 1916, the period during
which state deposits were put in the
Temple State bank.
"Yes," replied the governor.
"Your total Indebtedness, including
that of tho ranch was about $155,-
000?"
"Yes."

Mysterious I.oaners.
Mr. Crane asked who it was that
had loaned the governor a total of
$159,000 with which to settle up his
bank debts.
"I'll be frrtnk with you," replied the
governor, "I got that money when I
was facing bankruptcy. I promised
not to tell who gave me the money.
I cannot disclose those names."
"We will pass that for the pres-
ent," commented Crane,
"But please say whether you re-
ceived this money in currency?"
"Yes."
"Why wasn't it paid to you In
check?"
"Because the loaners didn't want
their names to become connected with
my affairs,"
The witness said he received $67,-
000 in currency in one batch In April.
He declined, he said, to say who gave
him the money, where it was given,
or how many gave it.
"I want to say one thing," lie
declared. "No one looking for «
school gave ine that money. I
want to say this because of Uie
whispers that ore going about. I
decline positively to let the puhlto
into this phase of my private af-
fairs. The lino has to be drawn
somewhere."
Crane led to the university matter.
"Didn't you tell the regents If they
didn't dismiss certain professors at
the university you would dismiss
them?" he queried.
"No, sir," replied the governor. "T
told them If they did not clean up
things out there I would have to ex-
ercise my constitutional authority to
get someone who would."
"Don't you think it unfair to dis-
charge men without a hearing and
blacken their future by not stating
the reasons for their discharge?"
"It depends. Vinson and the regents
fired Professor Keftsby by tele-
graph."
"But there was specific cause, was
not there? Hadn't he expressed him-
self in a way inimical to the govern-
ment?"
"There are others, I guess, as bad
as he was,"

The governor was asked about Ms
