tigating committee was told today by
C. II. Bierman, representative of the
Public Health service at the Mary
land supply depot.
Bierman declared the rapidity
with which the property was moved
aroused suspicion in his mind. and
also created indignation.
Can you recall now anything that
casts honor on this transaction"
asked John F. Organ, general coun
sci for the committee.
Not from the evidence I have
heard here" Bierman replied.
Bierman said the first information
he had that there was to be a sale
was on November IS, two days be-
fore the loading of the cars began.
Then Lieutenant Commander Charles
Il. O'Leary, in charge of the supply
division of the bureau and n. Thomp-
son of Thompson and Kelly arrived
at PerryviIle to arrange for the re-
moval. At that time, Bierman con-
tinued, the public health service had
not received the 20 per cent division
of all of the property that had been
awarded TO il at a conference of in
terested government officials six
months before the sale was made.
