II am not in position to state that.
The matter rests entirely with the

o'clock on Wednesday, March 10, Mr..

my opinion now that Il would have

Fourth. How did the Attorney
General learn that an investigation In.

Fifth. There were cases against q

did the Attorney Generals Office trust

"Sixth. Both the Attorney General

are now in accord with the idea that
the case should be proceeded with at

vinced that my emphasis saved his de.

as insubordination, and just ground for
dismissal?
II only know I was dismissed. You
may put such construction upon that as
you choose"
