The Crook ed ness.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-The
inquiry Into examination question
matters WAS continued last night.
The investigation develops so much
hard lying that 1t Is almost impos-
sible to draw conclusions Ss to the
actual guilty parties. Miss Mary
Nagle, who has been prominently
mentioned thro,ig as a br"ker
OF questions, was put on the stand,
hut she showed such pheDominal
forgetfulness In answering ques-
bns that more could be learned
frol what she did not say
thp. from any of her direct
statements. Several witnesses cor
roborated the previous testimony
obtained regarding the completely
Of Edward Ewald in procuring
questions. The Board of E iuca
ton is likely very shortly to make
a clean sweep of all employ es
of the Department implicated in
the matter Tie names Of pretty
much all of those who have OBJ
tained certificates by improper
means are known to the Board,
and vacancies will be numerous.
