Ex-Judge Whitaker has thrown
additional light upon the fraudulent
enrolment Of the assignment act.
lie says:
"From what have heard, | sus-
pect that the bill was fraudulently
obtained and the person and persons
engaged were paid for it.
II do not believe that the Court,
owing TO restraints apd TECHNICAL
ties will ever be able to develop
the whole truth. | do not mean to
say that Mr.. Sattorfold or Mr.. Brown
is guilty of enrolling the bill, nor do
mean any particular person.
~ believe it to be one of the first
duties of the next Legislature upon
assembling, to appoint an able and
fearless investigating committee tc
investigate this matter, and thai
nothing short Of this will ever locate
the guilty parties. :,
1.-The question is one which stands
above all political parties and be
lievo if probod, it would be found
that Democrat, Populist and Re
publican would be equally guilty"
