Editorial from the Evening Journal Of
Tuesday. February 81

Editorial from the Evening Journal of
Tuesday, February 81
After this investigation gets under way,
lit is very probable that there will be an
other and different kind of criticism
aroused by the fact that the committee
may not make all of its sessions and the
testimony of all of its witnesses public.
1t is we'll understood by those who have
had any experience in such matters that
certain men who may be the most valu-
able sources of information to such a
committee, and who are moved by de-
sire to give their services to the commit
tee are prevented from doing. SO from two
causes. The first is the horror that every
man feels over placing himself in posi-
tion that the rag-tag and rabble can begin
to yell "Squealer!' and the second is the
persecution, into which all the ingenuity
witness for months after he has per-
formed a service to the people by going
on the stand. Soldiers who go to war
have nothing in front of them more terri
flying than some of the things which lie
before a witness who is called by such a
committee.
Now. between such publie-spirited men
as may render such an incalculable SER
vice to the cause of good, government, as
many of those who will meet with this
committee and the malicious persecution
which would follow them If their exam
inatfon were made public, the committee
can throw a barrier of absolute safety
and protection; the barrier lies in secret
sessions when in the judgment of the COM
mittee such a session is necessary for the
protection of particular witness.
It would be grievous mistake for the
committee to make all of it's sessions
secret and the reasons why it would be a
mistake are simple and apparent. But
there will doubtless be witness oc-
casionally who must be examined in
secret and when the wisdom of the COM
mittee leads it to take such a course,
there will perhaps be another rampant
outbreak of criticism.

FAKE VERSUS FACT.
The Journals Editorial on the Plans of the
Assembly Investigating Committee, Side
by Side With Chairman
Gledhills Statement.
TInteryfew with Chairman Gledhill in 1.-THE

Interview with Chairman Gledhill in The
News of Saturday, February 121
A reporter for sThe Jersey City News"
called upon Mr. Gledhill this morning at
his office in Paterson and showed him a
copy of the Evening Journals editorial.
Mr.. Gledhill read it through carefully,
thought while and then said:-''You can
say that the proceedings of~the Investi-
eating Committee which proposes to visit
Hudson county in compliance with the di-
rection of the House of Assembly, will not
be of the nature of a star chamber. NO
one will be afforded by the proceedings OF
that committee an opportunity to get
square with some one against whom he
may have grudge and then sneak away.
Every witness will be placed in such a
position that he cannot escape the respon-
sibility of his testimony
the proceedings of the committee are
concerned, the committee has not as yet
considered them, but you can say that
the witnesses will be examined in pub
lic It might possibly be that the COM
mittee will want to examine the records,
papers and everything of that nature
connected with some of the county Of
fees and that examination will necessari-
ly partake somewhat of a private nature.
You can also say, emphatically, that
this committee proposes to be absolutely
fair with every one and will take no
steps which will prejudice or tend to
prejudice any person against whom any
allegations may be or have been made.
The committee proposes to conduct the
investigation ON the strict lines OF JUS
tice.
WAS the Journals editorial printed
on the authority of any member of the
committee Mr. Gledhill?" asked the re-
porter.
.'I do not know further than 1t was not
on my authority was Mr.. GledhilPs re-
ply.
When do you propose to get to work
Mr. Gledhill?
when will the trial of Messrs. Simpson
and Noonan end?" was Mr.. Gledhill's S
significant answer by way of another
question
