though they had no knowledge as 10 |
what the outcome would be, while Pom
der threw every obstacle in his power
i'm the way of the committee and took
advantage of every technicality to pro-
dnce delay While the work Of the COM
mittee was In progress he took the
! tally-sheet and ran away, stating that
he would withdraw from the case. One
OF the men associated with Mr.. Ponder
entered the room after that occurrence,
and learning what Ponder had done, |
said chat he washed his hands Of the
whole affair II Mr.. Ponder had not
done what he did do there would not
have been so much work for the men
employed in watching the boxes. The
committee gave Mr.. Ponder three-fifths
OF what the others would receive, al
though he did not do one-half Of the
work.
Mr.. HAZEL, chairman of the Commit
tee on Elections. agreed with Mr.. John
son in all that he said. He stated that
the action of Ponder In running out in
the dark with the tally-sheet was a
dllatory tactic. The attorneys on one
side of the case knew how It would ter
inmate. but they simply wanted to eX-
tend the investigation beyond a certain
period, meaning the Democratic eau
Gus. lie likened the action OF Mr. Pom
der TO a murderer committing suicide
as confession Of guilt
Mr. Dempsey replied that in present
ing the substitute he was actuated by
a feeling that the committees report
was not justifable. He did not want to
bring up an old sore that existed early
in the session, but If Il was to be
brought mp he would have to bear with
IT, He thought that Mr.. HAZEL should
not cast such reflections upon those
whom he thought were not guilty. He
did not think that the General Assem-
bly, should be asked to pay attorneys
for what had been done prior to the
time of the adoption of the resolution
authorizing the investigation He
wanted the men paid impartially. BY
the time that he had concluded 1t was
after o'clock and Mr. Wilson took the
floor He said that he wanted TO say
something on the matter and he ex-
pectci that some OF the other members
did. therefore he moved TO adjourn un-
I'll next day. There was no opposition
- TO the motion and further discussion
v went over until to-day.
