      "Say That Newberry Knew Sums Spent" (Testimony on Letters and Telegram Introduced to ConnectHim with Expenditures.ONE WORKER PAID $10 A DAY County Clerk Says He Was Threatened with Defeat in Re-election if He Did Not Fail in Line)
      Special to The New York Times. February 10, 1920, Tuesday
      GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 9.--Government attorneys in the alleged election corruption case produced evidence today to show that Senator Truman H. Newberry was informed by letter and telegram of the expenditure of large sums of money in his campaign. The Government introduced a letter written....William R. Barber of Harrisville, County Clerk of Alcona County, caused a sensation when he tesftified that Benjamin F. Reed, a Newberry field agent and one of the indicted men, had threatened him with defeat for re-election if he did not support Newberry. "I suggested a county chairman to Reed, but he wanted me to take the position," said Barber. "I told him I could not, for I had friends among all the Senatorial campaign workers. Reed told me I had better be careful, for Newberry was organizing every county in the state and that all kinds of money would be spent."
