continuous session. which would postpone the
investiga alton to after the adjournment OF the
Legislature. and to have q sufficient appro-
priation to cover all the expenses incidental to
. thorough Investigation. Mr.. John W. Con-

points. Is the counsel especially selected by
Mr. Smith and DR.. Parkhurst to conduct the In
yestigation for the Senators.
