The State Board of Claims is securing valu-
able evidence in regard to the Assembly cell
ing lob Cove. the brothcr-in-law OF eX-Super-
intendent Andrews, told an interesting tale
yesterday, and though he was not so clear
headed as an ideal witness, the main facts
which he set forth are clear enough. lie tcSti-
fed that while the Fish Committee was making
its investigation year ago, Mrs Andrews was
concealed in his house and was visited there by
her husband, although Andrews swote before
the committee that she had left the city More
interesting still was his assertion that he had
in his custody while the investigation was in
progress a written agreement between Andrews
and Snaith. according to which they were to
divide the profits of the ceiling work equally.
1t may not be possible to corroborate this evi-
dcnc. but it is the duty of the Board of Claims
to follow it up as far as possible.
