Chicago, Jan. 24. District Attor ney James. H. Walkerson tonight de nied that government agents had re ceived money from Jack Johnson, the pugilist, during his prosecution for violation of the white slave act. He asserted that the matter would be fully investigated. "For some reason . not at first ap parent, but now beginning to be un derstood, an attack has been made on former attorneys and agents of the Governor," read Mr. Walkerson's statement. "Only two of these men are in the service of the government now. They are Assistant District At torney Harry A. Parkin and Charles F. DeWoody, of "the Department of Justice. It is intimated that these, men ' accepted money in the Johnson and McHie cases. "The order imposing fines in the McHie case was made on the recom mendation of Attorney General Wick- ersham and myself, after careful con sideration. The accusations are ab surd. , "The Johnson case was investigated by- DeWoody . and" prosecuted by Par kin and the record conviction . speaks for itself. Johnson was released on bail, and it was no duty of govern ment agents to keep him under sur- veilance. The date tne money was paid to procure Johnson's admission to bail is preposterous.

Sensational developments are expected in New York political-life owing to the: searching investigation conducted by Dis trict Attorney Charles S. Whitman, who has instituted John Doe proceed-, ings before Justice McAdoO. , Ex-Governor Sulzer under a grilling cross examination by Mr. Whitman," has revealed that Charles F. Murphy, the dominant power in the Democratic party in the State, has been accused in his own party of having a "bagman" to "shake down" contractors doing State work for financial contributions Mr.' Sulzer, now an assemblyman, testifies that United States Senator O'Gorman told him that James E. Gaffney, the wealthy owner oi! the Boston National baseball club and long a power in New York politics was Murphy's collector. Senator O'Gorman's charge arose over the attempt of a man who described himself as "James E. Gaffney" to obtain $150,000 from James Stewart, head of a construction company, at a time when contracts for which fcstewart had bid were pending before the State authorities. Stewart was a client of Senator O'Gorman, and O'Gorman is said to have protested not only to Sulzer, but to C. F. Murphy as well, regarding "Gaffney's" action. Senator O'Gorman, Murphy and Gaffney are expected to go on the-witness stand as the result of Sul zer' s disclosures , and" action by . tne grand jury is deemed probable by those familiar with the characteristically thorough methods of District Attorney Whitman, who has made a nation-wide reputation as a graft prober. The photo of ex-Governor Sulzer was snapped while he was on the witness stand under cross-examination by Mr. Whitman. .
