sons who were prominent as able TO do the work; one
man spoke to me about Mr.. Kingsley as a competent

clients did propose trouble the Governor with any
arguments but that corruption had been proven and
that evidence established that the whole proceedings
originated in party malice.

anything that might be said against his client He
moved that the charges against his client be dismissed
The. Governor said there were additional charges
against Messrs Dcylin Brennan and Booe. and as IL
would be impossible Tor him TO go on, for the counsel
go Albany he asked If IL would be satisfactory II
ne appoint person to take the further testimony

cusson among the lawyers as TO the proprety
of sending in all the evidence taken before the Senatorial
Committee Of last winter as part OF the proof against
the officials.
The Governor stated thah gentleman we will dcsig
TO take evidence VIII be an eminent and honorable
man. and he he Governor) win be governed by his de-
cison this subject Of admitting evidence taken at
other Investigations.
Mr. Enott claimed that it the duty of the Governor
TO act upon the motion Of the City Inspectors counsel
and for that purpose would be well the gentlemen
had any arguments TO Offer to put them forward
The City Inspectors counsel said he wished to consult
his client before proceeding furSler
The Governor then announced the proceedings adj
journed till eleven O'Clock this morning
The contractors well satisfied that the investigation
