an unexecuted contract covering the
proposed deal from Capt. May, Of the
Hillside Company. This contract pro-
vided for the transfer of the HiIlside's
interest to Williams, who was to re-
transfer II to Bradley. Judge Archibald s
name was not mentioned in this contract.
Later Capt. May met him. Bradley testi-
fed, and asked him to return the con-
tract. Bradley said that May told him
that it would be best for Bradley not to
continue the transaction until he heard
from Capt May because Of legal COM
plications." Bradley said that he expect
ed to make about $4,000 out Of the deal.
May Tells Why.
The members of the committee were
much interested in the reason for the
sudden suspension of the transaction and
the withdrawal OF the contract from
Bradley by May. Capt. May was recalled
to the stand to explain the matter. He
said that he had received protests
against the dear from other persons who
claimed an interest in the culm dump,
in the property would become irritated
and might file suits against his company.
In spite Of many questions by members
of the committee, May insisted that he
did not know Of the charges against
Judge Archibald at that time, and that
the charges had nothing to do with the
cancellation of the transactions He said
that he did not hear of the charges
against Judge Archibald until a week OF
two later.
