PROBE COMMITTEE
ADJQuRNS Sessions
TO MONDAY, OCT. 8

The investigation of the Georgia
department of agriculture, which d
special legislative committee has
been conducting for the last ten
days, was adjourned temporarily
thursday afternoon with the COM
pletiOn of the testimony of ]. j.
Brown. commissioner of agriculture,
who stayed on the stand six hours
and answered the various charges
preferred against his department.
The deposition of Grover c. Ed
mondson, former editor of the Co
lumbia Sentinel. was to be taken in
Savannah Friday. The committee
will convene in Atlanta on Monday,
October s, to examine all witnesses
who have not yet testified, after
which a report of findings will be
prepared and submitted to GOvernO"
Walker, who will pass it on to the
next legislature for final action.
Commissioner Brown declared it
would be disastrous to reduce the
present staff of oil inspectors. With
a Scent gasoline tax levy in force
in the state, he said "bootlegging
n gasoline would result if the field
forces were decreased.
Gould six or twelve or even
twenty inspectors cover the state
property" the commissioner Was
asked.
Absolutely not" he replied.
Telling of the work of his fer
tilizer inspectors, the commissioner
said they sampled all calcium ar
senate brought into the state, tn is
safeguarding the farmers.
Brown Defies Stewart
Attorney Sam l.. Olive. represent
ing Mr.. Brown, asked him: "What
about the statement made in the
house by Representative Charles e.
Stewart, of Atkinson, that he had
evidence to prove you to be a liar,
a thief and a perjurer?'
His statement was false, the
commissioner shot back. For eight
days L have been sitting here wait
ing for him to produce his alleged
evidence, but he mas failed to do
So Neither he nor any other per-
, son on the face of the earth can
produce such evidence"
Continuing, the commissioner said:
''Fully 90 per cent of the persecu-
ton heaped on me has been by per-
sons who wanted jobs in my depart
ment and didn't get them, or by
persons who had to be let out of
the department.
They say run political ma
chine" he went on, but that is
not true. I admit I stick by my
friends, and 1 will continue to do
so. 1 am for those friends who are
loyal and active in battle, and L
regret that l am not able to appoint

The charge against the Barretts,
who were officials of Barrett &
Co, a large cotton firm now in
the hands of receivers, was made by
J. c. Lybrand, of Wagner, Aiken
county, South Carolina. In his affi-
davit, sworn to before w B. Ra-
born, an Aiken county magistrate,
Lybrand charges that the Barretts
represented to c. r. Lybrand, on
March %, 1928, that the firm of Bar
rett & Co., was the largest
and financially strongest cotton fac
tor in the south, handling from
eighty-fiVe to ninety per cent of the
cotton that came to Augusta, and
financially able to take care of all
tn cotton sent to that point.
On these representations and the
further representation that Barrett
& Co. had leased a bonded warehouse
capable of storing 1901 bales of
cotton, c. r. Lybrand turned er to
the company 5000 bales of cotton,
worth SIS ,007, the affidavit state. Il
is alleged that the Barretts knew
tbaiI, IPOrpSpntat iODC were IA lSa ami
that the company was worthless and
irsolvent, and therefore the owner
Of the cotton was cheated and de-
frauded.
The governor of South Carolina
has designated II. II. Howard, sheriff
of Aiken county, to return the Bar
retts to that state.
Attorneys fer the Barretts have
given notice that they will resist ex'
tradition, and hearing date will
set when Governor Walker returns.
