of the committee last night at which
it was supposed the Investigation would
proceed Colonel farewell Elicit, repre-
senting Mr.. Thaw, thought the matter,
should be sent back to the Council 70

lily .assented 70 this, and Judge William
1. Clopton. City Attorney. filed Z wris-
ten opinion. holding that the matter
was & proper one for the Mayor rather
than the Council! or 4 committee to deal
with.
