The Evans Investigation.

The legislative investigating committee
has been taking testimony regarding the
Evans fraud and have brought out the fact
that the Governor paid out $4,000 to w.
L. Forney, who stated that he had been
promised $4,000, and consequently had
been cheated out of half of his share. The
testimony of Col. ]. w. Foney, is a curl
osity, and proves that though he knows
much, he is disposed to tell little. What
has already been brought out, shows that
Jos. M. Mcclure, Esq, did the State good
service when he first started this expose.
The end is not yet.
