that he would present 10 the next AZ
bany County grand jury the Information
charging graft in the State Highways De
partment placed in his hands by James
w. Osborne When the Osborne tesu-
n,onv was first turned over to him seveial
weeks ago. he said that he would make
careful study OF the law TO see whether
the actions charged constituted Nloianphs

tisation Of his own. with the aid or hish-
wav experts, including Jerry flnch' OF

that the alleged Highways Department II
regularItles warrant grand jury acton.
For the last two or three days Mr.. Flneh
has been in Albany consulting the DIS
trict Attorney.
1t is expected that the Albany County
grand jury probe will result IN indict
ments of men close TO Charles +. Muir
ply. OF Tammany Hall. The grand jury
will convene next week and Mr.. Alexan-
der said that the Highways Department
cases would probably be ready for pre-
sentiment on the week following.
"WUl YOU go into the letting Of the Sls
maintenance contracts by the Highways
Commission in October. 1922 he was
asked.
yes; We Will take up that matter"
was the reply.
These contracts we're let by the old DIX
Highway Commission, composed OF [.
Gordon Reel. then Superintendent OF
Highways: State Engineer John A. Bensel
and Duncan ". Peck. Superintendent OF
Public Works Mr. Osborne declares that
the evidence taken before him shows that
the law was violated in that there was no
public bidding for these contracts. lie
said that they were given out by Charles
r. Foley then Superintendent OF tho
Highway Maintenance Bureau. during the
summer Of 1912. and that many OF them
were carried out before they were on
cially awarded by the commission, Octo-
Der % OF that year. At the hearings be
fore him in this city he endeavored to
show a connection between the giving out
OF these contracts and campaign contri-
buttons He declared that the 3ls con
tracts involved an expenditure OF 800
600. a large part OF which was loss To
the state Mr.. Osborne declared that the
evidence showed that many Of the roads
began TO crumble soon after the con
tracts were completed.
Mr. Osborne called as witnesses b'iof"
him Foley and the three members Of the
Dix Highway Commission. Reel was not
allowed to testify. as ne refused To- sign
waiver of immunity. Both Bensel and
Peck placed all the responsibility on Reel.
saving that their duties az State tngl-
neer and Superintendent of Public Works
respectively prevented them from taking
an active part in the conduct Of the High
ways Department. Foley denied that hc
had done anything that he considered
wrong and told Commissioner Osborne
that he was not going to be made the
goat"
