The report OF a CLASH between Attorney
General Carmody and Mr.. Osborne col
lapsed tonight when Mr.. Carmody said
that the only question he had passed

was any derelction of duty on the part
OF the highway commissioners Mr.. Car
mody said he had no idea, as he had moi
studied the cases. He said the indict-
ment can be secured of any public Off
