Asphalt Co.'S. Official Tells OF the
Treatment He Received.

Albany, Y. Y, Dec. 4.-Although the
taking of testimony in the Carlisle
charges before Special Commissioner
James w. Osborne began, today, John
A. Hennessy, Former Gov. Suffers de-
posed investigator, occupied the CEN
ter of the stage. He became involved
in several wrangles with Osborne ana
the opposing attorneys and later APP
pealed by letter to Gov. Glynn In an
effort to have the commissioner change
the method of investigation. Hennes-
sy desires the charges against hlm-
self and others as individuals inquired
into. rather than have general in
quiry of the highway department.
I ask that you forthwith direct Jas.
W. Osborne to take up these accusa-
tons made by the Warner. Quinlan
Asphalt Co, he wrote, to use every
agency of the governor to get at all
the truth in respect of them; to put
at my disposal every agency so that
we may uncover what is behind the
scenes; to subpoena all witnesses, bank
accounts and all other documents de-
sired by me, and to make this a real
not a sham investigation.
Ordinary delicacy will suggest to
you the urgent necessity of this course.
The name of Former Governor Sulzer
is involved in these charges and ana
Mr.. Carlisle are Joined in the accusa-
lions made against Mr.. Sulzer. This
inquiry should be SO conducted that
everybody testifying falsely may be
held for perjury, and you should make
it clear in advance that you will fol-
low this case to the end wherever 1t
may lead"
Attorney Henry A. Rubino, press
ing the charge for the Warner Gum
Ian Asphalt Co, was the special tar
get for Hennessys verbal onslaught.
Rubino issued a statement in which
he declared that when Hennessy is
under oath and he and his checkbook
are under investigation, he will be able
to make all his explanation"
P. R. Quinlan, vice president of the
company. was on the witness stand
all day. He declared the company had
been put to great expense in per-
fecting it's plant after an agreement
had been entered into by the former
Highway Commission, that its pro-
duet could be used on state work, only
to have his asphalt barred by Carl
isle. The greater part of his test-
mony consisted of a recital of the con-
troversies between Asphalt producers
Quinlan's cross examination was not
completed when the hearing was ad-
iourned, tonight, until Tuesday morn
ing. During the hearing Rubino stat
ed that James K. Mcclure and George
Mcclure, both of whom have figured
in the John Doe investigation in New

third growing out of the district attor-
ney's investigation of John A. Hennes-
sys charges of graft IN the state high
way department.
The first count against Mclean, whose
home is in Newburgh, was based chiefly
on the testimony of Matthew Van AL

messy Construction Co, who testified
that he had sent a campaign contribu-
ton of $1,000 in the form of a bank draft
to Mclean in October. 1912, and received

GOSPEL MISSION.
Evangelist L. N. Fogs Closes Very
Successful Series of Meetings.

Evangelist Rev. l.. n. Fog held his
closing service, Thursday evening, and
left on the 1912 train for New York
City. In the afternoon Mr.. Fosg preach
ed from Genesis v:22-A. And Enoch
walked with God; after he begat Methu-
selah three hunder years, and begat
sons and daughters: And Enoch walked
with God; and he was not for God took
him." This seems like a short biography
but there is great deal in it, Many
have long accounts written of them but
not much that points to a walk with God.
One thing worthy of note is that ne was
a married man and had a family. With
all the family cares and responsibilities
he walked with God. He had purpose,
and that purpose brought to him the as
surance that he was established in God.
The end was all right for him. 1t will
be for all that walk that way. In the
evening, Mr. Fogg preached from II Cor.
1871. BE perfect, be of good comfort,
be of one mind, live in peace; and the
God of love and peace shall be with YOU"
There was one at the altar for help. All
felt it a profitable season in grace. We
very much desire to express our thanks
and appreciation to the Kennebec Jour-
nal for their kindness in so fully giving
an account of these Gospel services in
the columns of their paper.

house when the fire started, James

of funds kept him out of bed in the

in the office, was the last witness
called. 1t was he who first gave the
cry Of Fire. Crowell was question
