At the time the check episode waa made public, Mr. Beldleman was aueted ns dvnjlng that he had received le paper. A Governer, he Intimated today, he would be satisfied with the $10,000 Mlary of the office, and would net take xtra compensation In the form of fce for legal services. "I premise you here and new.

Cites Accountants' Letter Mr. Beldlemnn read a letter from Main & Ce.. accountants te Auditor .General Lewis, in which, referring te the 53000 Check, the accounting firm stated that it "represented compensa tion for fervices as special tax counsel in the collection of the delimiuent bonus from the Westingheme Electric and Manufacturing Company." Mr. Bcidleinan contended that there l.wJ nothing in the law that preven'ed Mm from acting as attorney for the Commonwealth while lie was serving as j.ic'iicnant wovcrner, He quoted Article VI. Section 2 of the State Constitution, which provides that no Senater or Itcpre'ntntive 'shall, during the time for which, he shall have been elected, be appointed te eny civil office under this Common wealth." Commenting en this section, Mr. Bel dleman said : nun prevision iccegnizes me right I S.5.h8SrB.?5TBS!!l0rt-rt,v" Th0Uflht Car-Were 0ver YlAV tt tVttl TTaI.FK I AH.t l.....U ..

Anether Point Neglected Anether point neglected by Mr. Beidlemtn was that the direct requisi tion for the 55000 check stated that it was for "the payment of costs of ad- Tertlslng nnd ether expenses In con-1 nectlen with escheat of menejs and ' property te the Commonwealth." In the audit of official vouchers, the 50000 payment wns listed under a cap cap teon: "Nature of service net shown." Te explain that fact, Mr. Beldleman quoted from a letter by Main & Ce.. under dnte of December 30, 1021, which stated : "In view of the very considerable publicity given te certain parts of our cheduie, showing names of Individuals or firms receiving payment for personal services ether than salary, and mere especially the caption, 'Nature of Scrv lee Net Shown,' which phrase was used by Us imply te indicate lack of ex planation in the official vuuehera ex- atnlned by us. wrnce 10 me inj ledger, that payment, - . ., . ; '---- -.- -- . 111 OUeKtleu renreM?tltRfl rninnrnifi!n . iul e .it..t p.uclal, J." x cc,l,n:l ln 1 the collection of the delinquent bonus m " . . . .-- .-..-.-.. . irem uie vv esunsneuse Kleetrlc and Blanufacturing Company Respectfully submitted.
