Mr.. Coudrey says he supposed Mr.
Hazelton, in using the term I'VE, -
meant The Times. and he SAYS he ac-
cepted the bill as what The Times
wanted in the way of gas legislation
The Times had never seen or heard
of the bill. Il had never authorized
Mr. Hazelton OF anybody else to draft
any gas bill or to approve any bill
that anybody else might draft
Mr.. Hazelton was employed by The
Times to appear before the House Dis
trict Committee and present the
peoples side of the gas ease. He was
paid for that service. His connection
with The Times ended then and there
Whether he has since been employed
by any one else interested in gas legis-
lation The Times does not know
Mr. Coudrey says he supposed the bill
given him by Mr.. Hazelton had the
Endorsement of The Times, if it was
not actually written in The Times Of

with The Times campaign, he accepted
it. He says he had no reason-and
that Mr.. Hazelton did not give him
any reason-to doubt that 8lr Hazel
ton was still representing The Times.

for the bill and approved II.
The bill was printed and came into
the hands of The Times two weeks ago
Saturday afternoon The Times imme-
