Clark Case Witness Bickford Testimony Challenges Senate Accounts
Walter M. Bickford, a close ally of Lena Clark, testified before the Senate elections committee in the Clark investigation.

He also explained timber land dealings with McLaughlin and disclosed Clark’s son provided funds. Bickford served as Clark’s counsel and later said Clark paid him $2,500 in fees.
