f,r satisfied that the charges were not proven,
,,,h he only wonders at the finding OK tho Com.
oHtte, The testimony was based solely upon
,Mtcsnony OF Flannigan, whose word, many
+ Ii. acauaintanccs said, would not DO be-
l,5ed under oath. The Mayor then reviewed
tcpns!derable length tho testimony In each
NJ. slowing that he held nearly the same view,
ri upon nearly the eamo testimony, az sub
Fitted la.er by AID. Cullcrson. Tic believed
