'S..or.red TO engage counsel and said that Mr..
,.,,,ro had volunteered to act in that capacity
.,,hont compensation. Tho committee had
IA sessions on six days, and Mr. DominR had
-,,,,en its report. For this service he had sub
,.or.n,,y sought for several years past to OBJ
80, rom The Legislature tho preposterous sum
ofS5,00O
81, has been my experience" said Senator
p,,n,,. that tho services Of civil service ro-
tanners always come mighty high. Thoy
Generally know what they are in civil service
s,,orm for and work hard TO get it."

in,,,ce OF this claim. and voted for the bill 1t

e,.,s IN accept service and then plead the baby
art to get out OF paying for 1t.

h,d agreed to serve the committee on the express
understanding that they would SEQ to 1t that tho
legislature made compensation, and Senator
IsIow confirmed this statement.

tournsl that Senator Lexow had voted against

inc that on ono occasion Senator Cantor voted
nranst 1t.

fraud and thevery. It is nothing less than
that for this man. aftor volunteering to servo
a, counsel, to attempt, with tho aid of Senator
