Whiteside Reveals Bank Envelopes In Clark Bribery Probe
Ex-State Senator Whiteside testified before the senate privileges and elections committee in the Clark case. He identified envelopes marked with initials containing money for legislators and described storing the funds in a bank vault and later beneath a drawer in his room. He noted his grand jury time was brief, and defended his actions as an exposure plan. Beveridge’s Philippine speech draws crowd as he argues U.S. must retain and govern the islands. Hoar counters, citing Aguinaldo’s leadership and arms supplied by the United States.
