knowledging the receipt Of the report.

ton of your department Especially

for this report on January 10, 1911,

able to get TO II until this date. You
Will observe from this report that q

Mr. Garner on April %, this year. but
the same was not delivered to me-"
Concerning the possibility for pro-
secuuons, Assistant Attorney General
Matson replied by letter today as fol-
lows:
We have not made sufficient exam
nations of the report to ascertain
whether It contains any facts upon
which criminal prosecution might be
based, 1t win take several days to do
that, owing to the length and scope pf
the report. but as the wrongful acts,
If any must have been committed
some considerable time prior to Sep
tember 90, 1903, and as criminal pro-
secutiOns must begin within three
years, we fear that the report will DO
or no benefit as affordlng basis for
prosecution Of anyone whom the re-
port might show was guilty of viola
tion Of law"
The report has been referred to
Assistant Attorney General Charles w.
Moore, who commenced work on 1t to-
day, assisted by Colin Valentine, the
assistant state examiner and Inspector
