of the Legislature with bribery in connection
with the penitentiary lease. Chenowith read

preamble and resolution requiring the Speaker
of the House to appoint committee of five to
investigate the truthfGiness of the charge. A

irate inquisitors and, perhaps, compelled to
suffer some rather hard, nocks, sweetened with
knowledge that the cause was brought about
by a sense of duty to the public.
