Cummins Place Purchase Legitimate
The testimony laid before your COM
mittee shows that the purchase of the
Cummins farm was made as a legiti-
mate transaction; that the chief eXecu-
purchase was contemplated; that it's
physical features were examined by a
majority of the board and the super
intendent of the penitentary before
a decision to purchase was arrived
at: that its purchase by the board and
transfer to the state We're character
lied by that degree Of prudence and
caution which should always govern
men in business transactions. The
this matter is convincing.
Testimony shows that the first pay
ment for the farm was made with
funds obtained by the sale of cotton
belonging to the state which was sold
on rising market but at figure low
or than had before prevailed. If loss
resulted from it's not having been held
longer. this loss was but an incident
peculiar to the business of those who
deal in a staple which has a value
affected by conditions and surround
in@s we'll known to the commercial
world
Summing UP the testimony taken
upon all the matters pertaining to
this transaction. we are at loss to
discover where the action Of either

IYy the Arkansas Brick and Manufac
turing company was furnished by the
supernt e,ident Of the Penitentary, Mr.
Reese Higgins, with extra men. in ad-
dition to the number it had contracted
Tor, the testimony adduced shows that
Mr.. Higgins acted With good business
Judgment We also find that if the
penitcntiary board ever by resolution
endorsed this action Of the superin
tendent as charged in the message
Of the governor. that fact does not
appear in the record of any Of the
from the testimony submitted by the
different members & the board. 1t
does not appear either that the diff
ferences between the governor and the
superintendent Of the penitentiary re-
suited from this transaction. On the
contrary, the testimony shows that
the relations between the two became
strained at a much earlier period. and
that the strained relation had its ori-
gin in the refusal OF the superinten
dent to make certain removals OF Off
cials under the latter's control at the
instance of the governor.
State Convicts Not Maltreated.
In regard to specifications and
s, we find that the testimony discloses
nothing to warrant belief that the
state convicts have been maltreated.

ing Indebtedness. She further alleges many

ulation in stocks on borrowed money
To meet the calls for margins, Mrs. Rus
sell AYERS that the directors and officials she
names conspired TO get her to borrow of the
bank money to meet the necessities of ar
ranging notes with different makers Mrs
Russell declares that the defendants have
carried notes which they knew were not
good. at their face value, the books of
the bank in order to make it appear that the
capital of the bank was unimpaired and the
five officials voted to pay dividends to stock
holders when they knew that the capital
stock of the bank was impaired. At the

Hartford, was appointed receiver.
