Georgia senator admits such contributions at patronage inquiry

Roscoe Pickett chairman of the Georgia Republican state central committee testified at the senate patronage inquiry that he once received a contribution of several hundred dollars but returned it and told the donor to send a check to the treasurer. He said the donor mailed the check to him, and that Peterson’s death stemmed from post office finances, not payments to party officials. The hearing also touched on shortages at the Douglas post office and overdrafts. In Biloxi Mississippi federal court officials said they knew nothing of a grand jury into postmastership sales, with no subpoenas or jurors yet summoned for the probe.
