VIM. Mcintyre Of Red Lake
Falls is Added to InYesti-
CATION Committee.
ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENER.
Al STONE ARRIVES.
Man Who Will Conduct Inyesti-
cation Getting Ready to Begin
Work on May 2.

The commission which will in
vestigate the charges made by
the public examiner against the
Beltrami county officials will
consist Of three members in
stead Of two, Vim. Mcintyre, a
prominent attorney Of Red Lake
Falls, having been appointed by
Governor Johnson to serve as
one of the commissioners.
r. A. Stone, second assistant
attorney general, accompanied
by Deputy Public Examiner G.
b. Johnson, arrived in the city
last night from st. Paul and to-
day is making the preliminary
steps in planning and arranging
for the Investigation. Mr.. Stone
was interviewed last night and
stated to the Pioneer that the in
vestigation would be absolutely
fair to all concerned but that it
would be exhaustive and every
charge made by the public ex-
aminer would be probed to the
bottom.
Mr.. Stone also defined his
position in connection with the
investigation. 81 am simply
carrying on the investigation for
the state, = he said, ssand cannot
go beyond the charges made
by the public examiner. There
are only three men against whom
charges have been filed and there
will be nothing brought against
any OF the other officials. I am
not here to get a conviction, but
will gather evidence and present
my report to the governor, who,
after the Investigation, will have
the power to do as he sees fit. IF
there is sufficient evidence to
warrant him in removing the
men from Office this will un-
doubtedly be done, and if there
is no evidence tending to show
that there has been fraud in
the ad ministration of the county
affairs the officials will be com
pletely exonerated. I am now
making arrangements so that the
commissioners may start the
work of Investigating on next
Tuesday,
The men charged have retain
ed attorneys that will represent
them, County Attorney Loud
having chosen Chas. w. Scrutch-
in, and F. O. Sibley, Chester
McKusick, while Yves Wright
has as yet made no arrangements
for an attorney.
