The affidavits of Messrs. Tabb and
Austin follow:

Hardin County. Set.
The affiants, E. ]. Tabb and j. e.
Austin, state that in July, 1918, we
were awarded several contracts for
cotton goods for use at the State
Houses of Reform at Greendale, the
prices at which we furnished these
goods were current prices at that
the lowest quoted. The forty-nine
cent goods referred to by Mr. How
ell was a brown khaki and not
denim and was so billed the forty
eight hundred and eight yards ship
ment was sent to Greendale by mis-
take and at our request was stored
by them for short time; it was
never ordered for Greendale and
should not have been shipped there.
The goods was covert cloth and not
denim and was afterward sold to
the State Reformatory at Frankfort,
and we are confident that an examin-
alton of the records will show the
price was lower than charged by
others for the same quality of goods.
1t was practically impossible to Sc
cure cotton goods at that time on
account of war requirements which
accounts for the price appearing
high. This firm has never charged
excessive profits on any goods
furnished the state.
