Alabama race track developer Paul Bryant Jr spent two hours and 15 minutes with special prosecutors in Johnson County District Court as part of the inquiry into alleged illegal campaign contributions to Gov. Mike Hayden in 1986. The inquisition, led by Thomas Haney and Michael Barbara, has summoned 12 people so far with more subpoenas issued. Bryant, who hired former Lt. Gov.
