Dover, Feb. %. Increased interest
n the senatorial contest was mani
Tested yesterday, but it was less than
the Interest," in the fight for and against
OF Bernard j. Money as State detec-
tive.
The Senate, in executive session, on
motion of Senator Alice, decided to
refer to a committee the charges made
against Detective Money by Peter j.
Ford President Salmon named Sena-
tors Blakely, Pyle and Lewis as the in
yestigating committee. Mr.. Ford will
be required to formally file the charges
and substantiate them by testimony
given under oath.
Previous to the executive session, the
Senate met in committee of the whole,
with President Salmon Presiding, for
the purpose of giving Messrs. Ford and
Money hearing. The conference was
held in the Senate chamber, and was
public.
Mr.. Ford, in opening, said. "It is
generally understood that / am here TO
bring charges, or lay the foundation for
charges, against an individual holding
q high State office. / thank the mem
bers of the Senate for their kindness
and forbearance in giving me hear
ing. At the same time, am not un-
mindful of the fact that 1t is my in
alienable right to be heard by the rep
resentatives of the people. l am here
not altogether through patriotic
motives. My motives are no concern
of the State or Senate. The question
Is, is this man competent to hold in,
his hands the lives, psoperty and lib
critics OF the people. deny. in a sense,
MONEY! and his friends make the claim
that he was factor in my defeat.
Anybody who knows anything about
public affairs knows there is not an
iota of truth in this claim. am not
SO narrow minded as to hunt q man
who opposed me in politics. -
Mr.. Ford then specifically charged
Detective McVey with illegal and ex-
tortionate acts In connection with his
public duties. Detective Money made
specific and emphatic denial.
The executive session Immediately
followed the conference 1t has not
yet been decided when the investiga-
tion will begin.
