which appeared in the "Record-Union
on the following day. The letter was
received and filed at 2:15 p. m, and is
as follows:
THE GOVERNORS ANSWER.
Executive Department, Sacramento
Cal, March -, 1897.
Hon. John h Dickinson, Chairman
Investigating Committee, etc, Sacra-
mento, Cal.-Dear Sir: Since answer
ing your letter Of March Sd l have re-
ceived another letter from your COM
mittee of date March eth to which at
this, the earliest possible moment, l
hope you will permit me to reply. III
this letter which requests from me
certain evidence, and requests my CO.
operation in the investigation now IN
progress before you, you recite that you
have discovered no evidence tending
in any way to support the charges
which / have made against the super
intendent of State Printing in my veto
message of February 9th last. L am
surprised that you should regard the
evidence already in your possession SO
lightly and in this connection would
call certain facts to your attention.
1 complained in my veto message that
Section J31 of the Political Code re-
quires the Superintendent to make a
report to the Governor embracing a
record of the complete transactions OF
his office. which report shall show in
detail all the items of expense attend
ing the State printing, and all the ex-
penses of the office" and that the Su-
perintendent had failed to make the re-
port required by that section. You have
the report and you have the law. Ordi-
narily, the fact that the report did not
comply with the law might be deemed
some evidence tending in any way to
support the charges"
1 complained that the Superintend-
ent presented pay roll for labor per-
formed for the time from July 1st to
July is, 1896 Attached to this pay roll
was a sworn statement that the SER
vices were actually rendered lin the
manner and on the dates as above
stated, and that the services herein
mentioned We're actually rendered. "
Mr.. Johnston's foreman, Mr.. Thorp, has
admitted before your committee that the
statements made in this affidavit were
not correct Mr.. Johnston's affidavit is
on file with the Controller, and the
facts are before you. This is some evil
dence.
l stated that Mr.. Johnston had failed
to make application to the Board of
Examiners for permission to incur a
deficiency as he is specifically required
by law to do, and 1 transmitted with
my veto a copy Of his letters, from
which the truth of this statement ap-

well, Mr.. Chairman, I move that
Mr.. Caminetti frame just such ques-
tiOnS as he desires, and that the eX-
perts be required to bring in the an
ewers tomorrow without fail. It's time
We knew what he wanted and got
through with the work
The Speaker was Assemblyman
Price, and he simply expressed the
WEAKNESS of the Joint Investigating
Committee on the State Printing Of
flee at the efforts of the Assemblyman
from the Fifteenth District to unearth
the mares nest in connection with the
alleged deficit of sol, 600 in the State
Printing Office.
The other members of the committee
at once joined in, and agreed that he
should have anything he wanted that
the Legislature could procure, for as
one of them said 1--WE don't want any
one to say hereafter that Mr.. Caminett1
as a member of the committee with a
grievance, or Mr.. Caminetti as the rep
resentative who desires to let the Gov
ernor down easy, shall ever be able TO
say that any facilities were denied to
him"
The meeting of the committee was
for long time unmarried by an Incl
dent, and, in fact, for quite a while,
General Dickinson, the secretary and
the stenographer were the only mem
bers present, the others being quite
content that the records of Secretary
Markley of the Board of Examiners
should read and taken down by the
stenographer, because Mr.. Caminetti
desired it, and he and the other COM
mitteemen had business elsewhere.
Caminetti and Price left their hats
behind them to give a semblance Of a
quorum to the affair, and Dennery
looked in once in a while. Senator
Seawell, whose health has become Sc
riously impaired by his efforts to sup
port Caminetti, came in later on, but
stayed only a short time.
The examination of Mr.. Markley as
directed mainly to the meetings of the
State Board of Examiners, and on lines
laid down by Mr.. Caminetti, and
showed that the Governor, as a mem
Der of the State Board of Examiners,
had never approved a payroll for the
State Printing Office since his first dis
agreement with the State Printer.
Excerpts from the minutes of the
board We're read covering a period of
more than two years, and were care
fully taken down by the stenographer,
to be peruSed later on.
While MIR. Markley was on the stand.
General Dickinson received a letter
from Governor Budd, in reply to the
famous letter sent to him by the com
mittee on March 9th, synopsis of

answer, "and if we worked for months
we could not find one because the ac
counts balance exactly
Then Mr.. Price moved that Mr. Cam

and the committee agreed with him.
and Mr. Caminetti took the experts out
and gave them their instructions.
