HINTS AT GRAND JURY TIP
Independent Democratic Candi-
date Says Graft Rcvcla-
ton Is Near.

John A. Hennessy. the anti Murphy
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for Governor, replied yesterday TO the
challenge OF Gov. Martin II. Glynn 10
produce evidence OF a single dishonest
act of any of tho Governors appointees
or make any specific charge OF graft under
the Governors administration.
Mr.. Hennessy made public copies OF n
letter which no wrote yesterdal and mailed
to Gov Glynn. In his letter Mr.. Hen
messy referred to the appointment OF
Matthew 7. Horgan. appointed to place
In the State Banking Department by
Eugene Lamb Richards, and commented
on certain acts OF Horgan's In addition
to giving Horgans alleged record In the
police courts He attacked Banking
Superintendent Richards. Furthermore.
he promised to make revelations OF wrong
doing in the course OF the primary cam
paign.
Mr.. Hennessy then refers to the Mayor

Investigations Of District Attorney Whit

speaker In the campaign" and added;

Mr.. Hennessy then takes up the Gov
ernors first challenge, asking the candl-
date to show a dishonest act of any
appointee. He says;
IT shall answer that by taking the
Banking Department OF the State. 1t is
not proper to uncover all, because a
Grand Jury or Grand Juries and conse-
quent petit Jures may do that. You
took a political lawyer, Eugene Lamb
Richards with variegated past, and
by direction of Charles r, Murphy put
him in control of the state Banking
Department, which involved the custody
